Get ready, because a huge battle is about to go down in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)! The upcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> is already filming, and it looks like the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the mutants (that\u2019s the X-Men crew) are all going to clash in an epic showdown. Rumor has it that Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s version of Doctor Doom is the mastermind behind this chaos, stirring things up big time.<\/p>\n

Marvel is setting the stage for what could be one of the biggest face-offs in their entire movie universe. Filming has officially started, and new details are leaking out that suggest the story will bring these legendary superhero groups head-to-head. Doctor Doom seems to be pulling the strings, making sure this battle is as intense as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Fans got some exciting news recently from Alan Cumming, who\u2019s back as Nightcrawler. In an interview, he confirmed he\u2019s already practicing some intense action scenes. Interestingly, he mentioned filming a lot of \u201cfighting things that aren\u2019t there,\u201d which basically means he\u2019s working with CGI\u2014those special effects that create all the cool superhero action we love.<\/p>\n

One funny and intriguing part of his interview was when he was asked who exactly he was pretending to fight during those CGI-heavy scenes. The answer? The production team joked that he was fighting \u201cPedro Pascal\u2019s head.\u201d Pascal is another big actor involved in the movie, so it sounds like there\u2019s some fun behind-the-scenes playfulness while making the film.<\/p>\n

Now, to piece it all together: since characters like Nightcrawler and Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s Doctor Doom are heavily CGI-dependent, it makes sense that many scenes will rely on these effects. And about Pedro Pascal\u2014he\u2019s reportedly playing Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four, in this movie and its connected films, The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em> and Avengers: Secret Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All these juicy details fit perfectly with fan theories that Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> will showcase a massive battle between the Avengers, the mutants, and the Fantastic Four. If you\u2019re hyped for this, mark your calendars\u2014Marvel plans to release the movie on May 1st, 2026. It\u2019s shaping up to be one of the biggest Marvel events yet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
