London, UK – March 31, 2025 – Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated film Avengers: Doomsday has officially entered production, but fans might need to temper their excitement as filming has yet to begin. According to a recent update from industry insider Daniel Richtman (@DanielRPK) on X, the production team is currently focused on building sets in London, with actual filming slated to start in April. More concerning, however, is the revelation that the script for the blockbuster has not yet been finalized, raising eyebrows among fans and industry watchers alike.
About Avengers Doomsday, production started but NOT filming. They’re still building sets. Filming only starts in April. And they STILL don’t have a finalied script.

The news comes after earlier reports confirmed that production for Avengers: Doomsday began in March, aligning with a five-month schedule set to wrap by August 2025. The film, which marks the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as the villainous Doctor Doom, is a pivotal project for Marvel following the rebranding of the film from its original title, The Kang Dynasty. The shift in direction came after the departure of Jonathan Majors and a lukewarm reception to the previous antagonist.
Despite the lack of a finalized script, Marvel has already announced a star-studded cast, including Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as Thor, alongside Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, and new additions like Ana de Armas in an undisclosed role. The Fantastic Four, featuring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, are also confirmed to appear. However, the absence of a completed script has sparked concern among fans, with some on X expressing fears of a rushed production. Others noted that Marvel has a history of working without finalized scripts, as seen in previous Avengers films and even Iron Man 1.
With a 2026 release date on the horizon, Avengers: Doomsday remains on track for now, but the coming months will be crucial for Marvel to deliver a film that lives up to its monumental expectations.
