The filmmakers revealed that the new movie is a direct continuation of Avengers: Endgame, signaling a return to form for the main Marvel Cinematic Universe team. After previously stating he was finished with the role, Chris Evans will reprise Steve Rogers, showing his life with Peggy Carter in the past. He’ll be joined by Robert Downey Jr., several original X-Men cast members, and, according to reports, a former Spider-Man actor. The leading idea is that Avengers: Doomsday will involve a version of Tony Stark – potentially named Victor Von Doom – attempting to control the MCU multiverse. Downey Jr. only hinted at his character’s role, stating: “New mask, same task.” This detail is particularly interesting when considering the events of Age of Ultron.
