Back in September, the insider shared a photo that the Russo Brothers had shared, showing off a piece of Doomsday\u2019s set, with the cryptic message of \u201clook hard\u201d attached.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The insider noted that he can now reveal that image comes from a set where they filmed a scene feature Doom and his family in the movie. The post mentions that the scene will show Doom and his family in a lab, where an experiment goes awry and kills his family, while also damaging his own body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it\u2019s unconfirmed that the scene is that, it would go a long way in corroborating the reports that Downey Jr. is playing the actual Victor Von Doom. MyTimeToShine goes on to note that Chris Evans\u2019 Steve Rogers indirectly causes this to happen via movement from other universes, which ends up leaving Doom blaming Rogers for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So far, little is known about Avengers: Doomsday. However, the film is set to feature a huge cast, which includes Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Thor,\u00a0Pedro Pascal\u2019s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby\u2019s Invisible Woman\/Sue Storm,\u00a0Anthony Mackie\u2019s Captain America,\u00a0Sebastian Stan\u2019s Bucky Barnes\/Winter Soldier,\u00a0Letitia Wright\u2019s Shuri\/Black Panther, and\u00a0Paul Rudd\u2019s Ant-Man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More names for the upcoming movie include\u00a0Wyatt Russell\u2019s U.S. Agent\/John Walker,\u00a0Tenoch Huerta\u2019s Namor,\u00a0Ebon Moss-Bachrach\u2019s The Thing\/Ben Grimm,\u00a0Simu Liu\u2019s Shang-Chi,\u00a0Florence Pugh\u2019s Yelena Belova,\u00a0Kelsey Grammer\u2019s Dr. Hank McCoy\/Beast,\u00a0Lewis Pullman\u2019s Bob\/Sentry,\u00a0Danny Ramirez\u2019s Joaquin Torres\/Falcon,\u00a0Joseph Quinn\u2019s Johnny Storm\/Human Torch,\u00a0David Harbour\u2019s Alexei Shostakov\/Red Guardian,\u00a0Winston Duke\u2018s M\u2019Baku,\u00a0Hannah John-Kamen\u2018s Ava Starr\/Ghost, and\u00a0Tom Hiddleston\u2018s Loki.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including\u00a0Patrick Stewart\u2018s Charles Xavier,\u00a0Ian McKellen\u2018s Magneto,\u00a0Alan Cumming\u2018s Nightcrawler,\u00a0Rebecca Romijn\u2018s Mystique,\u00a0James Marsden\u2018s Cyclops, and\u00a0Channing Tatum\u2018s Gambit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18, 2026.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/tag\/avengers-secret-wars\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Avengers: Secret Wars;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Avengers: Secret Wars<\/a>\u00a0is set to release a year later on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new report about the upcoming\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0has potentially revealed more of what we can expect from the backstory&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[163175,18966,39428,96,2839,16233,128362,56,54,55,163174],"class_list":{"0":"post-450733","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-cryptic-message","9":"tag-doctor-doom","10":"tag-doomsday","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-robert-downey-jr","14":"tag-steve-rogers","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom","18":"tag-upcoming-movie"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
