AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Set Photo Reveals Completed Sentinel Battlefield - But Is All As It Seems?

We have a first look at the completed Avengers: Doomsday set, but is this battlefield - where the X-Men have seemingly squared off with the Sentinels - all that it seems to be? Take a closer look here...

Avengers: Doomsday is currently shooting in the UK, and the set we've been keeping you updated about for the past few weeks is finally complete.

As you can see, it appears to be the grounds of the X-Mansion in the wake of an epic superhero fight that's left Sentinel pieces strewn across the battlefield. Massive blue screens surround the practical set, as do shipping containers meant to keep the action away from prying eyes. 

However, now we can see the entire thing, that strange metal construction on the bottom right-hand side has left us wondering if all is not quite as it seems. 

Our theory is that this is the Danger Room; how better to introduce the returning X-Men than in an epic Sentinel battle that's been pulled straight from the pages of the comics? It's been a while, so establishing them as a formidable challenge for the Avengers and Fantastic Four when the teams inevitably clash is a must. 

We'll have to wait and see, but chances are drones like this one won't be able to get anywhere near the Avengers: Doomsday set when cameras are rolling. Then again, that didn't stop this leaker from providing us with a blurry first look at the Woman of Tomorrow in Supergirl

Rumour has it the X-Men in this movie will don comic-accurate costumes not unlike those seen in X-Men '97 and Deadpool & Wolverine.

Talking about his possible role in Avengers: Doomsday, Hugh Jackman said this week, "I really can’t say much, except when you say 'appear,' more like dominate and destroy every other character—I’m kidding. I really have nothing to add, and if I did, I would find a really cool way to not say it, but I actually have nothing to add."

Avengers: Doomsday stars Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman all make the Avengers franchise debuts in the movie. 

So do The Fantastic Four: First Steps leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, with X-Men franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Channing Tatum set to join them.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on May 1 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on May 7, 2027. You can find the new release dates for both movies by clicking here.

That looks like the obvious handiwork of Sam's Captain America

@Matchesz - Looks like a Mega Man toy from the 90's broke to pieces on the lawn.

Seventh post with what looks like zero changes. Oh look, they added a new bush. Could that be an azalea? What does that mean?

Looks cheap.

With the delays, they have time to replace the directors and have Joss Whedon rewrite and direct.

Maybe the X-Men are in the danger room until a real enemy breaks into the simulation.

It would be cool if it is the Danger Room since you could use it to establish these variants of the X-Men but I hope it’s happening moreso for real…

I just like the image of someone coming to the X-Mansion and seeing these Sentinels strewn out across the lawn , if done well then it could be truly haunting & evocative imo.

no way the movie will include a danger room sequence, with all the characters and plot arcs this story would need.
A danger room training session is something a x-men movie can add, but a big crossover like this one, they cant waste time on a "fun sequence" for the sake of it.

That big set construcction on the corner of the right is likely a new X-Jet design, the back of it so the X-Men can escape. Thats my guess going by this placement on the opposite side of the gardens.

@gambgel - I wouldn't put past a danger room sequence (I don't expect there to be one) but not for this massive set.

@gambgel - im guessing there will be no action sequence on this set. This will just be a glorified decoration

@vectorsigma - no way they built all this set just for 2-3 lines, lol. A big waste of money and time.

I dont see them filming big fights here, because this seems to be the results of a battle, but.... they will likely add some running, and VX to show that the battle still continues, with more sentinels "to come"...

so my guess is the Russo will likely film the x-men actors "attacking" the sky, looking at the sentinels on the air, and later all running to the jet to scape. This is my guess, going from this set.

@gambgel - the first time i saw this, it reminded me of the equally cheap set of D&W with the giantman.

It looks to me like another scene of 2 sides flailing around for a skirmish. The Russos have done it with CW and Endgame and weve seen it in D&W with a similar set

I dont trust the Russos much but id be happy if they can choregraph a good action set piece like how Whedon does it with Avengers 1 and 2 (i know im biased!)

@vectorsigma - yeah, agreed about Whedon. personal issues aside, he really create awesome team shots, like Avengers 1 and Age of Ultron final battle with all of them on that church, with that one circular shot, with Wanda, Vision and the originals. Iconic
