Fans looking forward to Captain America showing off his impressive abilities in Avengers: Doomsday won’t be disappointed. According to a new rumor, Doomsday will continue to focus on building up Sam Wilson, giving him an impressive action sequence that was recently added to the Avengers movie.
In his latest Q&A post, scooper Alex Perez teased how Doomsday is adding more panache to Sam Wilson’s moveset, something that wasn’t originally part of the plan. When asked what recent reshoots have added regarding Anthony Mackie’s character, Perez replied, “It was an action sequence. It involves a character that in the last few days has made a resurgence in the rumor mill.”
Anthony Mackie’s action scene adds another detail to the Avengers: Doomsday reshoots
Avengers: Doomsday wrapped principal photography many months ago, but Marvel Studios is well known for making changes in reshoots. The film’s production restarted with the same intention months ago. As for which other characters will share the screen with Wilson during these reshoots, Perez’s answer suggests it may be Scarlet Witch.
Sam Wilson picked up the mantle of Captain America in his Disney+ show. Following that, he led his own solo film, Captain America: Brave New World, in 2025. While critics and audiences appreciated Mackie’s performance, the film was not a critical or financial success. It ended with Wilson starting to assemble a new Avengers team.
Marvel is bringing back Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday after the actor exited the MCU in 2019. Fans are expecting Wilson and Rogers to share the screen again on the same team, despite the trailers not showing them interacting at all.
Before Doomsday, Marvel Studios will rerelease Avengers: Endgame in theaters with new scenes. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for theatrical release on December 18, 2026.
