Avengers: Doomsday has begun shooting in the UK, and while we're still expecting the cast to expand in the weeks and months ahead, we now have news on some behind-the-camera talent.
According to multiple outlets, Newton Thomas Sigel will serve as Avengers: Doomsday's cinematographer. Best known for his collaborations with now-disgraced filmmaker Bryan Singer, his credits include The Usual Suspects, all four of Singer's X-Men movies, Superman Returns, Drive, and Da 5 Bloods.
Sigel worked with the Russos Brothers on Cherry and Extraction, so the directing duo clearly has a lot of faith in his abilities when it comes to helping them tell Doctor Doom's story. Avengers: Secret Wars will begin filming shortly after Doomsday wraps, so chances are Sigel will be back for that too.
Trent Opaloch was the cinematographer on Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. It's unclear why he isn't reuniting with the Russos for Avengers: Doomsday.
Fake set photos for Avengers: Doomsday continue to flood social media, with AI making it easier than ever before to try and fool fans. The latest claims to reveal a "first look" at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
This is a relatively convincing effort that many people believe is the real deal, but upon closer inspection, it's another obvious fake...
When it was put to the Russo Brothers that set photos could spoil some of the biggest moments for fans, Joe said, "We’re pretty good about shutting that down." Anthony added, "We've sort of strategized to hopefully be effective with that."
Joe later confirmed that "quite a bit" of Avengers: Doomsday is being shot on soundstages. "We don’t want people getting photographs, so we are being pretty stringent," he explained before Anthony chimed in to say, "The location work we are doing, we have picked those locations with that in mind, as well.
