THUNDERBOLTS* Team Rumored To Have A "Huge" Role In AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY; Update On SECRET WARS Production

It sounds like the ragtag team that make up the Thunderbolts* will have a major role to play in Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday...

Major comic book movie news has been a little lacking this week, but we do have a couple of rumors relating to the next two Avengers films to bring us into the weekend.

According to MTTSH, the characters that make up the team in the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie will have a "huge" role in Avengers: Doomsday.

Possible spoilers from this point on.

This would back up a previous rumor which claimed that this "least anticipated band of misfits" will actually be revealed as the New Avengers (hence the asterisk in the title).

This doesn't necessarily mean that these characters alone will make up the next incarnation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but it seems the plan is for them to form the basis for a new, most likely government-sponsored (we'll see how long that lasts) team that would officially activate after (or maybe during) the events of Avengers: Secret Wars. 

Speaking of Secret Wars, Daniel Richtman is hearing that the movie is scheduled to film in the UK from March 2026 "to give room for the Marvel actors to film other projects in between." The scooper recently revealed that cameras will roll on Doomsday from March to August next year, with Spider-Man 4 reportedly set to commence production in May and film right up to October.

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 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.

The filmmakers revealed that Doomsday and Secret Wars will not shoot back-to-back during NYCC last week.

"It'll be similar, but we'll have a larger break in between the two movies than we did," said Joe. "I think it was four weeks maybe? Was it four weeks between Infinity War and Endgame?"

"I think it was a couple of weeks," Anthony added. "But no, these are not as separated as you would normally separate two films of this scale, but they're more substantially separated [than Infinity War and Endgame] by a year or so."

Have another look at some photos Downey Jr. shared to Instagram after the big reveal below.

I think at this point all Marvel characters both those from the MCU and not have been rumored to be the Avengers 5 & 6 leads.

@kider2 - It's pretty obvious the leads are going to be Captain America (Sam), Captain Marvel, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. Everyone else will play supporting roles.

Yeah the movie will likely start with Thunderbolts* and the Avengers going after the same goal and butting heads before teaming up later on.

Sidenote; if they're gonna add more members I'd like to see Zemo (Valentina could lure him on as a field leader with the notion of surely he'd rather be in control of the team than leave them unsupervised), Abomination and I think throw in Hercules in place of Ares

@IronDean2099 - More like they’re going to be the officially recognized “Avengers” but they aren’t up to snuff and certainly not up to the task of stopping a Multiversal event and Doom.

They’ll fail, and then after Secret Wars is over, the “true” Avengers will once again assemble.

IronDean2099 - 10/25/2024, 2:37 PM
@kg8817 - maybe, but you're not gonna have an Avengers movie without having the new line up in it. By that I mean, Cap, Shang Chi, Shuri, etc. Whoever it'll be.
kg8817
kg8817 - 10/25/2024, 2:39 PM
@IronDean2099 - Yes no doubt, Cap, Carol, Shang and them will be in it, but they won’t be considered the team, they’ll be individual or small group stories like infinity war was. The thunderbolts will be the officially recognized team in the film I think. Could be wrong.

There’s a 7-8 month gap between Avengers Doomsday and Avengers Secret Wars.

With the people that make up the Thunderbolts, wouldn't it make sense for them to operate covertly from the shadows? With the Avengers team taking center stage.

I doubt it. I could see them play a role in it, but the team with a huge role is gonna be the Avengers. Sentry could be an important player though.
