Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of the most transformative chapters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the Multiverse Saga rapidly approaching its climax. At the center of the chaos stands Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, a casting choice that alone signals a seismic shift for the franchise. As heroes from across timelines and teams converge to face Victor von Doom, anticipation for the 2026 event film continues to intensify.
Adding to that excitement, Lewis Pullman recently spoke about returning to his role as Sentry in Avengers: Doomsday. Pullman, who debuted as the powerful and psychologically complex hero in Thunderbolts, confirmed his return during an interview with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan while promoting The Testament of Ann Lee. His enthusiasm was unmistakable. Especially upon learning that early trailers for Doomsday are currently being shown ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash.
“Oh my god, I can’t wait to see it. I didn’t know that!” Pullman shared, admitting he hasn’t yet seen the footage himself. “I’m so excited. I think I’m as excited as anyone else is.” He went on to praise the scope of the film, calling the cast “an incredible team and a remarkable ensemble,” and expressed deep affection for his character. “I love Sentry, and I love Bob so much… I’m just riveted to be able to get to step into his shoes again”.
Disney’s decision to debut Avengers: Doomsday trailers in front of another blockbuster highlights just how massive the studio expects this film to be. With the story tightly guarded following the film’s wrap in September, Marvel is carefully building momentum without revealing too much of Phase 6’s biggest secrets.
What is confirmed is the scale. From the long-awaited intersection of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers to the return of multiple X-Men actors, Avengers: Doomsday is not just a crossover—it’s a culmination. The film will directly set the stage for Avengers: Secret Wars, the final chapter of the Multiverse Saga, which is also expected to usher in a major reset of the MCU timeline.
As the countdown to December 18th, 2026, begins, Avengers: Doomsday stands set to redefine what an Avengers film can be. Raising the stakes, reshaping the universe, and reminding audiences why Marvel’s biggest swings still command global attention.
