The video has already excited fans eager to see Chris Hemsworth return as the God of Thunder. Known for his intense fitness routines, Hemsworth proves once again that he’s in superhero shape.

Directed by the Russo Brothers, “Avengers: Doomsday” is shaping up to be one of the biggest Marvel movies yet. The cast features several MCU favorites, including Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

The movie also welcomes stars from “Fantastic Four: First Steps”, including Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm. In a surprising twist, Robert Downey Jr. will appear as the villain Doctor Doom.

In a major surprise, the film will feature characters from Fox’s original “X-Men” universe. Confirmed returning actors include Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, and James Marsden as Cyclops, according to source.

These additions have sparked rumors that “Avengers: Doomsday” might focus on an Avengers vs. X-Men storyline, rather than just Doctor Doom. While Marvel has not confirmed the plot, the large ensemble cast hints at a multiverse-scale conflict.

“Avengers: Doomsday” is part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film will hit theaters on May 1, 2026, followed by “Avengers: Secret Wars” on May 7, 2027. Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay.
