Anthony Mackie Teases ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ with Bloody Image


Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Anthony Mackie is apparently on his way to begin filming “Avengers: Doomsday” in London and the “Twisted Metal” star appears to be teasing a very dark movie. In an Instagram story, via ComicBookMovie.com, Mackie posted a selfie from the inside of an airplane. He’s wearing a “Powerpuff Girls” t-shirt, and he’s chosen a very interesting filter. The filter is one that’s made to look as if there’s blood all over the screen. He captioned the story with, “And so it begins…”

Even without further context, Mackie seems to be implying we need to be ready for a good amount of bloodshed in “Avengers: Doomsday”, but the bloody post seems particularly meaningful thanks to an interview Mackie took with Collider last week.

Asked how he felt after reading the script for ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ Mackie answered, “You know what? I was really excited, man. It’s one of those stories that really pushes the boundaries, and it — the cliffhanger at the end, you know, the last moments of the film — it really builds and sets us up for a way for the continuation of the Marvel saga, which is really exciting.”

Mackie then added, “You see these characters, and you see how they’re introduced and how they play in the universe moving forward, and no one is safe. Everyone is expendable.”

So, from Mackie saying “everyone is expendable” to the star posting a picture of himself made to appear he’s been sprayed with blood, it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to assume Mackie is hinting we need to brace ourselves for a lot of deaths in “Avengers: Doomsday”.

Of course, this wouldn’t make the film necessarily all that different from 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” which ended with most of the MCU’s heroes taken out by Thanos. Of course, most of those heroes would return in the 2019 follow-up, “Avengers: Endgame”, though not all.

“Avengers: Doomsday” is scheduled to hit theaters May 1, 2026. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr.
