But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/sdcc\/24202230\/avengers-5-doomsday-secret-wars-director-russo-brothers-sdcc-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Doomsday directing team Joe and Anthony Russo<\/a> have at least delivered dozens of pixels for starving Marvel fans to sustain themselves with, posting a cryptic teaser to their shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOYaE6uCLpg\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The teaser is simple: an incredibly low-res image paired with the hashtag #DoomsdayIsComing. That&#8217;s it! But that morsel hasn&#8217;t stopped fans from squinting and speculating about what it could mean. And Marvel fans seem to agree on one interpretation of the following image: It&#8217;s a chalkboard.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, it&#8217;s theorized to be Reed Richards&#8217; chalkboard. As previously seen in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/615093\/fantastic-four-first-steps-mcu-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a>, the Mr. Fantastic of Earth-828 loves to scribble complex mathematical equations in chalk, and that&#8217;s what folks are seeing in the Russos&#8217; latest tease. Those barely legible drawings might even contain an illustration of a timeline, which could indicate Richards calculating where things went horribly wrong in the world of Doomsday. Certainly, the Avengers pulled off reality-changing time heists in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2019\/4\/23\/18512885\/avengers-endgame-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Avengers: Endgame<\/a>, and one Reed Richards might just be trying to resolve the temporal shenanigans that have brought various timelines and realities together in a fashion that displeases Doctor Doom.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s just speculation. We don&#8217;t really know much about the plot of Avengers: Doomsday. And if the script is being written or rewritten on the set of Doomsday, which is currently filming, it&#8217;s hard to say if even the Russos know the full extent of the next Avengers movie&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>                                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) writes on a chalkboard in Fantastic Four: First Steps\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fantastic-four-first-steps-trailer-breakdown-reed-chalkboard.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fantastic-four-first-steps-trailer-breakdown-reed-chalkboard.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                Image: Marvel Studios<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of confirmed news on Avengers: Doomsday, die-hard Marvel fans have been looking for crumbs about the next MCU tentpole \u2014 and mostly coming up empty. Actors who are filming their parts for Avengers: Doomsday are talking around the film, offering little in the way of specifics.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/avengers-doomsday-channing-tatum-gambit-tease\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Collider<\/a>, Gambit actor Channing Tatum only offered hype, likening the experience to a much bigger version of Deadpool &amp; Wolverine, which was replete with cameos and crossovers. &#8220;You just can&#8217;t understand what this is going to be,&#8221; Tatum said. &#8220;Anybody that has loved these things growing up, it&#8217;s going to melt your brain. It&#8217;s going to be the biggest thing that they&#8217;ve ever done, that is for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Red Guardian actor David Harbour similarly talked up the scale of Doomsday, telling <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/avengers-doomsday-david-harbour-russo-bros-extraordinary\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ScreenRant<\/a>, &#8220;I will say I&#8217;ve never been on a set like this in my life. I&#8217;ve never seen anything like this. You saw those chairs. So it&#8217;s like, every one of those guys and girls has a trailer. It&#8217;s just insane to look around the room and be like, &#8216;Oh my god, I&#8217;m in the movie. There&#8217;s what&#8217;s his face doing that speech.&#8217; It&#8217;s just enormous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But mostly fans have been left to speculate, hounding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/deadpool-avengers-ryan-reynolds-elektra-netflix\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Reynolds to see if Deadpool&#8217;s coming back<\/a> and even <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MCUFilmNews\/status\/1964521513455145333\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">monitoring the size of Chris Evans<\/a> \u2014 aka Captain America and the Human Torch \u2014 to determine if he&#8217;s in supersoldier shape for an unannounced reason.<\/p>\n<p>Get ready for another year-plus of this, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/601082\/avengers-doomsday-secret-wars-delayed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Avengers: Doomsday won&#8217;t arrive in movie theaters until Dec. 18, 2026<\/a>.
