RUMOR: AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Script Still Being Written; Movie Will Introduce An Unexpected Superhero Team

The Russo Brothers may have officially announced that Avengers: Doomsday has started shooting today, but the script reportedly isn't done! Rumour has it a certain Multiversal team will also be in the film.

Avengers: Doomsday has started shooting, and we have another big rumour to share with you today. According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, the Exiles will be in the movie, and that could have huge implications for what's to come next year. 

The comic book version of this team is typically associated with the X-Men, but is made up of characters from different realities, all of whom have been removed from time and space to correct problems (often called "hiccups") in alternate worlds and divergent timelines.

That sounds an awful lot like the Resistance we met in Deadpool & Wolverine, though What If...? season 3 also set the stage for a version of this team made up of characters like Captain Carter, Kahhori, Storm, and Byrdie. 

The comics don't provide many clues about who could make up Avengers: Doomsday's take on the Exiles, as everyone from Spider-Man to Daredevil, Scarlet Witch, Storm, Morph, and Sabretooth has joined their ranks over the years. 

If we had to hazard a guess, the MCU's Exiles will feature familiar faces from the past, particularly if their respective realities have been destroyed during Incursions. 

The insider has also shared, "To answer everyone's question: yes, there is a script, but they're going to keep rewriting it every day on set because it's not done DONE. Like it's not as good as they would want it to be."

That echoes what several insiders have been saying; before getting too concerned, though, bear in mind that Marvel Studios has previously taken a similar approach to everything from Iron Man to Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely, who has worked with the Russo Brothers on all their MCU movies, is writing the Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars scripts. However, this time it will be without regular writing partner Christopher Markus. 

"It’s the simple fact of opportunity really," Markus recently said of why he declined an MCU return. "When we started AGBO, part of the imperative was let’s look for things to adapt, ideas of our own. And by luck or preference, I wound up with a whiteboard full of things—two series of books that we had optioned, a spec script about three or four other ideas and a TV pilot that was there to be written."

"And this was prior to all that 'Avenging' coming on the horizon. But it got to the point where it was like, 'Look, I need to grow these plants or they’re going to die,' And [Marvel] is very extremely full-time."

"And so, I just said, 'Let’s just everybody be under the understanding that this is what I’m doing because [those movies] need a brain on them." he continued. "They need a guide and I love them.' So, when it came Avenging time—I mean, you don’t Avenge part-time, you don’t do anything Marvel part-time. That is a years-long commitment."

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027.

Still treating these movies like student films, I see.

@CyberNigerian - 50-60% of movies you watch today and from the past, did not have finished scripts. Changes always happen, even in mid-filming.

Stop pretending only student filmmakers do this.

@CyberNigerian - So by your logic, JAWS, Apocalypse Now, Emperor's New Groove, Casablanca, and Lawrence of Arabia should be considered student films?

Their filming a movie, not working in a call center.

@CyberNigerian - Not at all. Almost everything in theaters has scenes and dialogue rewritten on set. It’s why a lot of things stop completely during a writers strike even when things are deep into production/filming. Because the WRITERS re-writing things ON-SET DAY-TO-DAY can’t do that when the guild votes to strike. The production’s that don’t need that such as TV shows, finish what they’re working on that’s already written.

It will probably be Captain Carter from What If...? And a team of variants she has assembled as The Watcher has no choice but to aid the inhabitants of Battleworld because Doom has his sights set on the Fifth Dimension. This team will probably consist of OG nostalgia heroes such as Spider-Man (Maguire), Ghost Rider (Cage), Blade (Snipes), Daredevil (Affleck), Storm (Berry), and Hulk (Bana) led by Captain Carter (Atwell).

Isn’t the What if team we saw technically the MCU Exiles as of now?.

If so then I could see them aswell as perhaps some new members , especially since their Captain Carter died.

Also them continuing to work on the script isn’t anything new since they have adopted this philosophy since the first Iron Man so it’s common practice for them.

@harryba11zack - It’s more concerning that even when they are writing or rewriting the script mid-filming, they still need to do reshoots that completely changes everything they’ve done until then. It’s like they just can’t settle on anything and keep throwing shit at the wall.

We are going to have some beers at the local brewery on the rooftop patio in beautiful 75 degree spring Colorado weather.

But we will all be making fun of you tonight. So for once you might tangentially be included in a real activity.

Keep on hating people you don’t know. All leftists have is hate. And pretending men can be women. And economic ignorance.

I hope one day you can grow up and learn to accept that your views are a minority. Then maybe you might be so hateful and make up nasty nonsense to say about people online.

There is not a problem with 5is at all.

If you’re shooting a scene, and he dialogue that worked on the page isn’t quite working when the actors say it…re-write the scene. Adapt and overcome.

Of a previously unavailable fan-favorite actor suddenly becomes available, write him/her in. Adapt and overcome.

If a plot point suddenly becomes a bit too close to real-world issues, like when Falcon and Winter Soldier had to re-structure their story because of the real world pandemic, re-write what you need to. Adapt and overcome.

Sometimes it works…sometimes it won’t. But it isn’t unusual for writers to be on-set to deal with stuff like this in real time.

@TheShellyMan - Lots of movies in production do not have finished scripts because changes constantly happen. This isn't anything new.

@TheShellyMan -
To be fair, this movie is not going to be sold to anyone on its writing quality. This is just wacky characters fighting each other until they fight Doctor Doom and Secret Wars is just them remembering they are heroes before fighting Doctor Doom in medieval setting.

It's not just Disney or Marvel. Every Movie and TV show continuously does script revisions throughout production. There are a million reasons for this, and far more often than not, based on practical issues. The shooting schedule, the budget , Location or actor availability. There's no such thing as a final draft until the project has been released. Even when someone like James Gunn says a project doesn't get greenlit without a finished script, that simply means an agreed upon story draft. They still revise and rewrite.

@Comicmoviejunki - Nowadays sure. But back when movies were actually looked at as an art form and not a product they took their time

@Matchesz - "But back when movies were actually looked at as an art form and not a product they took their time"

The studio that brought the unproduced play rights for Casablanca in January 1942, filming began in May 1942 after being delayed from shooting in late April 1942 and because they didn't have a completed script, they shot the film in order because only the first half of the script was completed

Casablanca premiered on November 26th 1942...based on your logic when movies were "based purely as an art-form and not a product" by the way.
Matchesz
Matchesz - 4/28/2025, 1:03 PM
@Irregular - could argue that back in 1942 people were built different and it was a smaller more straightforward film. Here they are trying to pull off a multiverse story with 30+ actors, connecting dozens of plot lines, while simultaneously tiptoeing around modern day peoples feelings with a supposed unfinished script.
Irregular
Irregular - 4/28/2025, 1:19 PM
@Matchesz - So you move the goalposts lol?

First, you said movies used to be "treated like art" and "took their time" I present to you a movie that is considered one of the greatest of all time had a rushed, messy and chaotic production without a finished script. Now it's suddenly bigger casts, multiverses and "peoples feelings" (whatever the hell that has anything to do with, purely nothing just you spewing a random narrative) which is you just presenting a different argument entirely.

Complexity doesn't change whether a film is treated as "art" or "product". Should I also cite Gone with The Wind which had huge rewrites, massive casting drama and FOUR directors yet it is considered a classic piece of cinematic ART"

So no, has nothing to do with "people were built different" or "films were simpler", filmmaking is a pain in the ass and every filmmaker will tell you, a finished script doesn't mean jack shit.

Only one team can replace the Avengers, and they have introduced most of the characters already. We should have got to this by now.
