Captain Marvel and Thor have become part of the latest Avengers: Doomsday rumor talk regarding their roles. One scooper now says some of the reports may not be accurate.
Reacting to a post on X, Marvel scooper James Mack addressed claims involving Carol Danvers, Shuri, Thor and Steve Rogers’ son. He wrote, “Carol wasn’t cut; she has a special appearance at the end of the movie. No, Shuri doesn’t die. No, Thor doesn’t die. Steve’s son doesn’t die off-screen, as of now.”
The scooper’s comments directly challenge several rumors circulating online. However, his claims are not official Marvel confirmations and could change before release. Fans should therefore rely on details confirmed by the studio.
Avengers: Doomsday release date, runtime and cast details
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to open exclusively in theaters on December 18, 2026. Marvel lists Joe Russo and Anthony Russo as directors, with Stephen McFeely credited as writer.
The movie currently has a listed runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Disney’s official page confirms a large ensemble led by Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Pedro Pascal.
The cast also includes Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Letitia Wright. X-Men actors such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and James Marsden are also part of the announced lineup.
Marvel describes the story as a collision between heroes from three distinct universes. The ensemble includes Avengers, Wakandans, the Fantastic Four and returning X-Men characters facing a major threat.
Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is officially confirmed for the movie. Marvel’s official page also specifically highlights Thor’s return, while Letitia Wright appears among the announced cast as Shuri. However, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel is not included on current official cast list.
As of now, Marvel has not announced the character outcomes mentioned in the rumor. More official footage or studio updates should clarify which claims ultimately match the finished film.
