Earlier this week, a fan calling himself @theyneversawitcomingg revealed that he managed to sneak onto the set of Avengers: Doomsday, and was able to share some of the footage he filmed online before it was removed from the various social media sites.
The brief clips didn't feature anything particularly revealing, but did seem to confirm that we'll be paying a visit to Madripoor - the fictional Southeast Asian island commonly associated with Wolverine and the X-Men - at some point in the movie.
Despite these relatively innocuous leaks, Mr. @theyneversawitcomingg has now revealed that he's been hit with a formal warning from Marvel Studios, so we don't expect to see him climbing over any more fences anytime soon.
Though the actual leaks were fairly minor, others have seized the opportunity to create fake footage and images in an attempt to fool people online. Most of this is blatantly AI, but there are a couple of pretty convincing shots in there - no, we're not referring to the Robert Downey Jr. twins having a little chat.
So far, Marvel has done a bang-up job of keeping the production under wraps. We've seen a few intriguing set constructions and props, but not a glimpse of any cast members in-costume.
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027. Both films will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
"Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russos in a statement after the SDCC panel.
