Fantastic Four’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach on Avengers: Doomsday’s story
Speaking to BBC News while promoting The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Ebon Moss-Bachrach described the upcoming Marvel crossover, Avengers: Doomsday, as “Epic. Tragic. Intergalactic. Starry.” Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm in the MCU, added, “Epic. Mental. Robert Downey Jr.”
Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, is set to reunite Earth’s Mightiest Heroes for the first time since Avengers: Endgame. The film will feature a Multiversal conflict with Robert Downey Jr. portraying Doctor Doom. It brings together MCU veterans alongside new characters like the Fantastic Four and legacy stars from the Fox X-Men franchise, including Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
While plot details remain limited, set leaks and cast interviews confirm major crossover moments. Doomsday’s story will include heroes like Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, and Letitia Wright’s Black Panther. The film releases on December 18, 2026, as the first part of a two-film finale to the Multiverse Saga.
Marvel’s last two-part saga began with Infinity War, which concluded with the deaths of several characters before resolving in Endgame. Reports suggest Doomsday may follow a similar structure, setting up Secret Wars in 2027 with a heavy ending. The potential for character deaths or entire universes being erased has fueled speculation.
Given its multiversal theme, Doomsday is expected to depict large-scale destruction and shifting alliances. Downey’s Doctor Doom will reportedly force heroes from different realities to fight for survival. Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed plot specifics, but the tone teased by cast members suggests an emotional and expansive storyline with major consequences.
