After the casting stunt that had millions of people staring at chairs for more than five hours,Avengers: Doomsdayofficially began production not long ago. There are many names from all Phases of the MCU confirmed to star in the film, one of which isAnthony Mackie, who starred inCaptain America: Brave New Worldearlier this year. Mackie cemented himself as the new leader of The Avengers going forward, so it stands to reason he’ll be heavily involved withDoomsday’s production. Mackie took to his personal Instagram to share a new video from the set ofAvengers: Doomsday, showing himself in the snow in a cold location, which could potentially mean Latveria scenes are being filmed for the upcoming tentpole.
Latveria is a fictional country that’s home to Doctor Doom in Marvel Comics, and with Doom set to be the feature villain of the 2026Avengersfilm, it would make sense that the team would travel to his location. Arguably, the biggest shock announcement to come from 2024 was the news thatRobert Downey Jr.would return to Marvel to play the new feature villain. This news came afterMarvel Studios parted ways withJonathan Majors, who previously was set to star opposite The Avengers as Kang the Conqueror. Downey’s return was also met with skepticism after his Infinity Saga character, Tony Stark, wrapped up a perfect arc that concluded in a meaningful death inAvengers: Endgamethat helped the team save the world. It’s unclear how his transition from Iron Man to Doctor Doom will be handled, but directorsAnthonyandJoe Russosurely have a handle on it.
