Mackie: New “Avengers” Is A Return To Form

It’s no secret that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been creatively and (less so) financially on a rough road in recent years. The studio’s post-“Avengers: Endgame” titles have certainly been getting a frostier reception than the films that came before it for various reasons.

It’s hoped that with “Thunderbolts” or the new “Fantastic Four,” things will improve so that by the time the new “Avengers” films hit, even casual filmgoers might get excited tor MCU films again.

Anthony Mackie certainly thinks the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” will mark a return to the better days of the studio’s output. Speaking with IGN just as “Captain America: Brave New World” hits VOD, Mackie says he’s about to begin shooting and is damn excited:

“We’re supposed to go out this week, and we’ll be out there doing it. Everybody’s excited. I feel with the script and having the Russo brothers back, it’s going to be great. I’m really excited for what this project is going to be. It’s going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”

Mackie is one of the confirmed cast names so far alongside the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, Simu Liu, Letitia Wright and various X-Men, Thunderbolts and “Fantastic Four” actors.

Filming on the new “Avengers” will be running for the next few months ahead of the film’s planned release on May 1st 2026.
