A new Avengers: Doomsday update has shed some light on some of the costumes various characters will be wearing in the upcoming MCU movie.
What is the newest Avengers: Doomsday update?
According to a new report from leaker “variablelace” on social media (via ComicBookMovie), several characters will be getting different costumes. The new rumor suggests that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will, at some point in the movie, wield a sword and shield, which the leaker simply describes as a “cool” look.
Rebecca Romijn, who is set to reprise her role as Mystique in the upcoming movie, will also be getting her own suit, apparently. The leaker noted that, instead of appearing naked as she did in the previous films, Mystique will get a suit that’s a “white dress with blue accents on the shoulders and [the] center of chest, white pants under suit…[it] has an X on her belt and she has the tiara with the skull.”
The leaker also described one suit that they believe to be a “downgrade,” and that belongs to Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi. According to the leaker, the new look is “more like a leather jacket this time and the red is much darker” than his previous look.
The cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is going to be massive regardless. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman’s Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Winston Duke‘s M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen‘s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki.
Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart‘s Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18, 2026.
