Sign in to your ScreenRant account Avengers: Doomsday is officially dividing the heroes. The buildup to Avengers: Doomsday has been a long time in the making, spanning over 18 years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Avengers: Endgame, released in 2019, appeared to be the end of a beloved era for the MCU, leading into the Multiverse and incursions, creating a messy and dangerous universe for heroes such as Loki, Doctor Strange, and more. Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World began forging a new geopolitical landscape, with VisionQuest and The Fantastic Four: First Steps bringing even more life to the MCU ahead of Doomsday. Kevin Feige revealed that the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie will explore the consequences of the MCU's heroes being more fractured than ever. In an interview with Empire, it was announced that Captain America/Sam Wilson's team will include Thor, Captain Joaquin Torres as Falcon, Ant-Man, and Shang-Chi. There are also the New Avengers, which include Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, John Walker, and "Bob". Feige shared that, "We’re coming out of years of seemingly no organized Avengers team, and that’s exactly when they face these incursions. That’s always fun, to put your heroes on the back foot." Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson has taken on the mantel as Captain America, as seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Captain America: Brave New World. Mackie has confirmed he will be "leading the charge with everyone into battle," in Doomsday. There are plenty of heroes stepping up for the MCU's Avengers: Doomsday, including the X-Men stars and Fantastic Four providing different groups tackling the same major threat: Doctor Doom. Pedro Pascal, portraying Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, shared that himself and Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom are "very bonded in a lot of different ways." The actor continued and stated: "They’re bonded as scientists. They think together through the lens of science and math, and think in ways that most people don’t. You can’t help but create a bond of friendship and kinship, and feel less alone in the world because there is a mind that is equal, if not superior, to your own." More to come...
