Why ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ And ‘Secret Wars’ Were Delayed, Per Report

Marvel announced a news item that was shocking but not surprising on Thursday, that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars had now been pushed back

www.forbes.com

I definitely feel the VFX would be rushed on this if they had kept their original date.

Now, what could possibly be coming out also on the new release date for-

Avengers: Doomsday now set to be released on the exact same day as another major film

Both ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ have been pushed back from their original release dates

www.the-independent.com

Get out of here Barbenheimer, the true king has arrived: DUNESDAY.


(yeah, one of them will probably move, but that would be an insane double feature)

They don't have a finished script, neither did Infinity War or Endgame when they began shooting.

In fact, it's not that uncommon a practice in Hollywood for a long time:

10 films that began filming without a finished script

From classic noir thrillers to modern special effects blockbusters, we look at 10 movies that began production without a finished script...

We're still trying to get Chris Evans and Scarlett johansson back.

LOL, I highly doubt they want Johansson back after she sued Disney. Florence Pugh is a big enough name now with several Marvel films and Oppenheimer and Dune, they hardly need Johansson anymore.

Evans already came back in Deadpool and Wolverine, I highly doubt he'd be difficult to convince to play a supporting role in the Doomsday film (although they'll like save him for Secret Wars), especially with the stink of the recent Red One disaster fresh in his mind and career.

 

[Doom85]

According to what I read, Alex Perez has been very miss on "scoops" over the last few years apparently, and a lot of his "answers" to fan questions end up basically being "we'll see". It seems like his sources are mostly done for by this point.

Doomed on arrival

 

[Sub_Level]

They are the B-team. The real new team are the Avengerz (with a z).

 

[Fake]

And... I'm out.

 

[Baemono]

I think I only saw 3 MCU movies after Endgame, Spider-Man 3, Dr Strange Multiverse and Thor 4. I think I'm too old for this now

 

[bitbydeath]

And... I'm out.

Spoiler from Thunderbolts movie.

Spoiler

The Thunderbolts were already confirmed as the official (govt sanctioned) new Avengers team.

This, if the line-up is true, would be the unofficial imposter team.

 

[jason10mm]

I can't even be bothered to post a shocked face gif.

We ALL knew this was coming, only poor Manabyte bothered to try to toe the company line.

As the "lead up" films struggle and struggle, they have to keep reworking to try to ensure their massive inflated budget doesn't sink the entire enterprise.

True… I don't even know who Joqian Torres is!

True… I don't even know who Joqian Torres is!

He's Falcon's Mexican-American replacement in Captain Falcon ... eh ... Captain America vs the Red Hulk movie.

No one watched that either…

Team up movies where all of the characters are composed of failed movies is an up hill battle for sure

Yeah I'm happy they delayed it due to the CGI. That gives enough time for the CGI to be great

Get out of here Barbenheimer, the true king has arrived: DUNESDAY.
(yeah, one of them will probably move, but that would be an insane double feature)

I'm looking forward to both if they do come out the same month. Huge Marvel Comics/MCU and Dune fan (Books)

Me and you both

I'm hoping that when they adapt Secret Wars 2015 that it's split into two films. Oh and to make me nerd out even more give a one to two Battleworld Disney Plus Shows. Secret Wars 2015 my favorite comic event and I hope they go crazy

The new Avengers movies have a huge issue: There's nothing leading up to them.

Everyone wanted to watch Infinity War because they wanted to see how the years-long story ended. People were attached to many characters and wanted to see their fate/ending.

This time, there's no story at all. There is a topic: Multiverse, but there's no story to follow at all. There aren't any compelling characters (maybe very few ones for some people), but they are just like announced cast without any storyline for any of them. I don't see how these two movies could have a satisfying payoff.

Also, Marvel did the multiverse the cheapest way possible, by limiting the "multi part" to just characters from the past, and characters with the same actor but playing a different version. They should've gone crazy with it and introduce several multiversal only characters from the comics. It's like how Sony has wasted Spider-Man so much, because there are like at least 20 versions of spider-men/women beloved by many (spider-gwent, spider-punk, spider-man noir, spider-man 2099, etc) Sony should have their own Spiderverse by now, but they always want to focus on Peter Parker!

In short, regardless of the many hurdles and missteps that Marvel had during this saga, they made many wrong decisions and they had nothing more than rely on cameo-fest for their movies to be successful.

Some few optimistic people are excited about these movies, but not for the movies themselves, but because they want them to represent a reset for the MCU and have Marvel start over, but doing things right again (something I don't see it happening, sadly).

We all know the next phase is the X-Men, and Marvel need to get them right. However, this time, the X-Men shouldn't be a team, but a central, interconnected universe, where you can find any superhero among them, allowing for other characters to appear in their movies and vice-versa, and not just restrict it to just "X-Men movies"

This next batch of avengers movies is important.

Disney is so cooked. What a fall post Endgame.

It will most likely be spirit into two films. Secret wars has the half circle like infinity war had on the A, where every other avenger film had a full circle.

In the last Spiderman movie they should've used the chance to introduce a new different Spiderman as a 4th character instead of going 100% nostalgia.

Apparently things got heated at the set:

RUMOR: New Details Emerge About On-Set Clash Between Two AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Stars Who "Went At Each Other"

Some rumoured new details have emerged about a supposed on-set clash between two Avengers: Doomsday co-stars, and it's said to have led to "a big rift" that nearly led to a major change to production...

comicbookmovie.com

It sounds like a joke, "that was a bit too familiar," was poorly received by one of the actors on the Avengers: Doomsday set, leading to a falling out that very nearly resulted in a major change to the movie's shooting schedule. Fortunately, the situation was ultimately resolved.

"Someone said something that someone didn't like."....what kind of story is this? Either name the names or leave it alone. "Hugh Jackman calls Patrick Stewart a 'right wanker'", now THAT'S worthy of a story, but this is little more than an invented narrative. There are probably 100 people wandering around the Avengers set at any given time, any confrontation that led to "we will have to film their scenes separately" would be known by dozens and dozens of people.

This is nothing. No idea if any of this happened. Probably Pedro wanted to touch a woman, and the woman didn't want him to touch.

I mean, shooting for long periods of time can be very stressful. Daniel Craig talked about this when he wrapped up Spectre filming, how people were instantly all, "oh, I guess he hates being Bond now!" just because he didn't immediately confirm he would be up for another one after Spectre. Craig soon later said in an interview (paraphrasing): "Guys, I had JUST finished the shoot for Spectre. It can be a stressful job. I don't see my family and friends as much as I'd like during that time. But I love my job. I love this role. So me not confirming I'd return as soon as I finished the latest one doesn't prove I'm done with the role, it proves I'm human and need a minute to breathe."

So yeah, dozens and dozen of actors, some shooting for long periods, it's not surprising, especially as these two actors hadn't worked together really before this. Thankfully it seems it was resolved.

Nice, with that set leak, I now know where the plot is heading. Avengers: Secret Wars turns out to be the Avengers vs. Dr. Doom in a cockfighting tournament with the universe's fate at stake.

All hope seems lost as Dr. Doom's rooster eliminates the Avengers' roosters one by one, until, through a Dr. Strange-style portal, the universe's final hope arrives:

Cum now, do you REALLY think RDJ as Doom is packing it the most? Nah. Isn't Michael Fassbender supposed to be Liam Nesson-esque in the shorts? Is he coming back as Magneto? Are Captain Falcon and War Machine gonna spearhead this cockfight or defy stereotypes?

Just watched Fantastic Four, I liked it.

So baby Franklin to bring Tony Stark back?

Only just found out recently that Pedro featured on season four of Buffy.

'Two big actors'... One 100% is Robert Downey Jr, the other big actor... IDK, Samuel L. Jackson? Or Chris Evans?


edit: I forgot Pedro Pascal. Can be him too.

SLJ wouldn't say nonsense. But you know who would put their foot in their mouth, especially if it's about one's past (drugs and funky lovin)? Pedro to RDJ. Disney bowed to RDJ to make things better because they need him. If it was a lowbie character like She Hulk guaranteed they'd just write them out and be done with it.

I guessed later Pedro, but to be honest I don't consider Pedro Pascal as a big actor, at least in comparison with the other ones I mention.

I wouldn't be surprised if Brie Larson was involved, we've all seen how she interacts offscreen with the other actors.

 

[jason10mm]

Regardless of how good you can make it look in post, this is no way to film a movie. Actors just doing monologues in isolation to be stitched in with other people later on, that's a movie hellscape beyond belief.

Talking about the production, Cumming said that most of his work was done alone. "I did the entire film in isolation. Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names. I don't know who I was acting with half the time," he laughed.
