Marvel fans believe they’ve just spotted a telling clue that Brie Larson is returning to the MCU.
Larson played Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel in the MCU starting with 2019’s Captain Marvel and has been rumoured to reprise the role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Larson posted a snap of herself as she just cast her ballot in the Statewide Special Election held on 4 November in her native California and other US states.

Larson is blonde but she has been rocking a pixie cut recently. The long locks coming out of her hoodie and the caption made some fans think she’s back on set as additional photography for Doomsday is rumoured to be under way.
“‘Ignore the wig’ is hilarious promo cause I don’t think people would’ve noticed,” one fan wrote on Reddit.
“She 100% wanted us to notice,” someone else added. “I’m perfectly fine with the coy little caption because it seriously generated a tad bit of excitement for the upcoming movies when I saw it.”
Set to hit cinemas in December 2026, Avengers: Doomsday takes place fourteen months after the events of Thunderbolts*, released earlier this year.

Not much is known about the plot, though it seems that the Avengers are assembling a huge team to fight Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr).
Joining Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and the other Avengers are the Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, the New Avengers, and some the OG X-Men, including Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and James Marsden’s Cyclops.
The film is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and written by Michael Waldron, who created Marvel series Loki, and Stephen McFeely, one half of the screenwriting duo behind some MCU hits, including Avengers: Endgame.
Avengers: Doomsday is released in cinemas on 18 December 2026. All four Avengers movies are streaming on Disney+.
