THE FANTASTIC FOUR's Joseph Quinn And More X-MEN Stars React To Being Cast In AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Following Marvel Studios' big Avengers: Doomsday casting announcement, a handful of actors mentioned have commented on either returning to the MCU or, in a few instances, making their franchise debut. 

Joseph Quinn will first "Flame On" as the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four: First Steps this summer. Talking to IGN about A24's Warfare, he broke his silence on plans for Marvel's First Family to assemble alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the X-Men. 

"It was relief, I suppose. It was a nice thing," the actor said of the news. "I think I’m in very good company. I would love to see Will there, too, just because we have a laugh but the road is long in this Marvel land so God willing because it would be fun."

Quinn was referring to his Warfare co-star, Will Poulter, who played Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. There wasn't a single actor from that franchise named during the announcement, a surprise when the Legendary Star-Lord currently resides on Earth.

"I’m so excited for Joe and I can’t wait for Fantastic Four," Poulter shared. "I’d love to come back with Adam Warlock and if I can cross over with Joe and the Fantastic Four crew that would be even better."

In related news, a few more X-Men cast members have joined Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming in acknowledging their Avengers: Doomsday casting. While Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X) simply reposted Marvel Studios' announcement, James Marsden (Cyclops) and Channing Tatum (Gambit) did so with a couple of familiar hashtags. 

Rebecca Romijn, meanwhile, shared a photo of Mystique and teased, "She's back. True. Blue." 

Marvel Studios will reboot the X-Men franchise after Avengers: Secret Wars, though we still don't know whether the MCU's version of the team will be made up of entirely new actors or a mixture of both them and some familiar faces from the past. 

It's not unfair to say that a lot of the original X-Men actors are rapidly being aged out of their respective roles, so bringing them back on a permanent basis may not be what's best for the property moving forward. Well, aside from Hugh Jackman who, based on Deadpool & Wolverine, never ages.

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

what is the budget to this damn movie lol They must really be banking on this making 2 billion no matter what

@NonPlayerC - Last summer once again solidified that nostalgia sells. People will flock to this movie, "gloried cameos" or not.

@NonPlayerC - no marvel movie will reach 2b anymore imo.

It will even be a miracle to get to 1.2B without the same suppirt from China like in the past. D&W only had 50+M there
theprophet
theprophet - 3/30/2025, 1:20 PM
@vectorsigma - that was rated r too and it made 1.2 avengers will probably makes over 1.5 easy
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 3/30/2025, 1:27 PM
@theprophet - with the budget, 1.5B below is a disappointment imo. These big stars are not cheap and d&w only had 2 big ones.
theprophet
theprophet - 3/30/2025, 1:39 PM
@vectorsigma - while that’s true but that doesn’t take away that this movie is gonna do good at the box office also we gotta see how marketing will be
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 3/30/2025, 1:49 PM
@theprophet - i think we also need to see how Thunderbolts and F4 fare. Will they get Ms Marvel levels of performance before a major Avengers film?

And will Feige market again like "you need to see these before Doomsday" (at least F4 as Thundebolts is a few weeks away now)

@NonPlayerC -
Budgets are going to be around $400m+ meaning a minimum break-even of $1bn, though chances are we could be looking at budgets as high as $600m+ meaning a $1.5bn+ break-even, likely a similar scenario with Secret Wars which will be even more expensive.

These films have an expensive cast several of whom may die of old age prior to release, with lots of CGI involved, are being filmed back-to-back with scripts being written and re-written on the fly and also being rush in terms of CGI and production to hit the deadlines.

Avengers made $1.521 bilion, while Age of Ultron made $1.405 billion. Anything less than 2012's Avengers would be a complete disaster for Disney. Imagine the headlines if Avengers: Doomsday makes less than 2012's Avengers; or worse has the lowest box office of any Avengers movie.

They need this movie to make around the same or more than Infinity War's $2.052 billion so they can spin it as a success and that the brand has not been damaged horrifically.

So I think we will definitely get an Avengers vs. X-Men subplot with the OG X-Men beating the New Avengers. In the midst of all of this, Doom is venturing through the Incursions to find his way to the end of time and Loki attempts to stop him but can't without letting various branches in time die. Doom defeats him and uses his power to completely obliterate the Multiverse and prunes them all at once causing every single one to merge and collide in the void. This new singular universe becomes Battleworld.

I think Beast, Nightcrawler and Mystique will be Mo-Cap/CG based on the ages of all three actors. Similar to what they did with Ebony Maw and Carrie Coon’s Proxima Midnight.
LeBronStan
LeBronStan - 3/30/2025, 12:45 PM
@BruceWayng - Rebecca Romijn still looks great. I doubt they make her naked but she can still pull of the makeup.
Beast will defiantly be CGI, and with Nightcrawler, I'd like to see a mixture, but since Alan Cumming was not a fan of the makeup, he'll probably be full CGI as well.

Really feels like the whole thing is banking on the nostalgia wave. If that doesn’t have the pull, they’re gonna be in for a rude awakening.

It used to be about the story and the intrigue that brought to the audience. Sure, the complaints would be about some of the movies being stepping stone films in P1-3, but they were good to great on their own merit. Too few have had that in phases 4-5 and they missing an interesting line up.

I hope it does well, but I wouldn’t put money on it.

Marvel Studios should release Doomsday on it's own first. But later after it gets taken out of theaters they should release: Avengers Doomsday: Deadpool Edition and have it with F bombs and scenes with blood with Daredevil breaking the fourth wall with She-Hulk in various scenes that weren't shown in the PG-13 version.
