Marvel Studios Expands Avengers Franchise with New Film
Joe and Anthony Russo Set to Direct
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced a major expansion to the Avengers franchise at San Diego Comic-Con Hall H. The studio revealed plans for "Doomsday," a new film that will bring together the iconic superhero team to face their greatest threat yet.
"Doomsday" is a collection of three 4-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics. The series, "Ultimate Enemy," "Ultimate Mystery," and "Ultimate Doom," follows the Avengers as they confront a cosmic threat known as the Beyonders.
For the upcoming film adaptation, Marvel Studios has announced that Joe and Anthony Russo will return to direct. The Russo brothers previously helmed "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Captain America: Civil War," and "Avengers: Infinity War." Their return to the franchise is sure to excite fans.
But perhaps the most surprising news came with the announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will star as Doctor Doom in the film. Downey Jr. has been synonymous with the role of Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his casting as the iconic villain marks a significant shift for the actor.
The casting of Downey Jr. suggests that Marvel Studios is taking a bold approach with "Doomsday." The character of Doctor Doom is one of the most complex and enigmatic in the Marvel Universe, and Downey Jr.'s portrayal is sure to bring a new dimension to the character.
