It appears like a member of the Younger Avengers would possibly present up in “Avengers: Doomsday” … that’s, if Andy Serkis is to be believed. Serkis has an extended historical past with Marvel, having performed Ulysses Klaue in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Black Panther,” along with directing “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” Serkis additionally was the actor behind Knull in “Venom: The Final Dance.” And based on him, Ms. Marvel goes to assist in the combat towards Physician Doom.
Serkis has been selling his new animated adaptation of “Animal Farm” starring Iman Vellani, who made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in “Ms. Marvel” earlier than occurring to co-headline “The Marvels.” The 2 had been just lately talking with Cinemahub (as noticed by IGN) once they had a really fascinating change.
“I am excited for Gollum!” Vellani instructed Serkis in reference to “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,” which is being directed by Serkis. He then responded with, “I am excited to see you in ‘Doomsday!'” “No, you’ll be able to’t say that!” Vellani shortly replied. Whoops! Feels like Serkis may need let one thing out of the bag.
“Oh I am unable to?” Serkis responded. “Oh, nicely, if there ought to ever be the possibility to see you in a movie referred to as ‘Doomsday’ …” Vellani then interrupted him, clarifying, “If there’s a likelihood, like ‘Doomsday,'” earlier than shortly including, “However Gollum’s occurring for certain!” Clearly, they had been each attempting to cowl some tracks.
Now, was this simply the 2 having some enjoyable? Or did Serkis truly let one thing slip that he wasn’t purported to? It is unclear for now, though Ms. Marvel was notably unnoticed of the unique “Avengers: Doomsday” forged announcement. Is her participation purported to be a shock? Or is she merely not within the film?
Ms. Marvel would possibly lastly get to be a part of the Avengers
Iman Vellani displaying up as Ms. Marvel in “Avengers: Doomsday” would make sense, so it is not remotely exhausting to consider. It is also simple to consider that Andy Serkis merely made an incorrect assumption. Or it is attainable that Vellani talked to him about it whereas they had been making “Animal Farm,” and he let it slip. It definitely would not be the primary time an actor spoiled one in every of Marvel’s massive surprises throughout a press tour.
What we all know for certain is that this film is shaping as much as be an enormous occasion. “Avengers: Infinity Warfare” and “Avengers: Endgame” administrators Joe and Anthony Russo are returning to the MCU for this and the upcoming “Secret Wars.” Robert Downey Jr., our former Iron Man, is likewise on board to play Physician Doom. The “Avengers: Doomsday” CinemaCon trailer provided up a glimpse at Marvel’s scariest villain but, however that footage has but to be launched to the general public.
We all know that Marvel has been quietly constructing as much as the Younger Avengers showing within the MCU for years now. Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), and America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) are all anticipated to be a part of the group, although solely Newton has confirmed her participation in “Doomsday” thus far.
Velllani has had a little bit of a tough go within the MCU up thus far. “Ms. Marvel” solely acquired a single season on Disney+, and “The Marvels” completed its field workplace run because the lowest-grossing MCU film ever. None of that is Vellani’s fault, in fact, and Ms. Marvel’s inclusion in “Doomsday” would go a good distance for the character. We’ll see if that occurs quickly sufficient.
“Avengers: Doomsday” hits theaters on December 18, 2026.
