Is Avengers: Doomsday in trouble? The latest rumor suggests that there has been some major drama on set between two key actors in the upcoming film.
The rumor mill has always been obsessed with the concept of behind-the-scenes drama. Especially in the blockbuster world, there’s a certain draw to these massive names getting down and dirty. Some of these reports have been mostly debunked, such as Brie Larson being a “nightmare” on the set of The Marvels, others, such as The Rock’s tendencies to pee in bottles and arrive to set late, have been corroborated by major outlets.
Now it seems a new rumor has hit the pipeline. This time, about Avengers: Doomsday. Reports of egos clashing were inevitable, especially given how many high-profile stars are set to be in this movie, and how little the script was workshopped before production officially began. Though it seems tensions between the actors may be higher than the internet may have expected.
“They are two pretty big actors. Apparently, a comment, from what I understand, was made in jest that was a bit too familiar, because these actors didn’t know each other too well,” Scooper John Rocha explained on Kristian Harloff’s show. “It crossed a line. One of the actors got really upset about it, confronted the other actor. [It was said] on the set, that caused a big rift.”
Is Avengers: Doomsday Getting More Rewrites?
If this rumor is true, one may expect that the script for Avengers: Doomsday may once more be in flux as Marvel tries to figure out how to get these two major characters to work in a story where they can’t interact. Luckily, it seems as though tensions between the actors did calm down, in part due to a risky gambit by Marvel Studios when it came to filming.
“Two very outspoken actors went at each other…Marvel said [to one of the actors], ‘We’ll shoot your scenes separately or without the other actor in it, or we’ll figure it out in some other way.’ That actor felt the fact that Marvel was willing to make those concessions was enough, because they also told this actor that it would cost millions of dollars to shoot scenes without the other actor.”
“Since Marvel was willing to at least make the effort to concede that and move the schedule around, they felt it was a good-faith effort, and both actors were brought together, apologies were exchanged, and people moved on. Yes, [they’re okay now]. There’s been no other incidents that I’ve heard. It was a pretty big blow-up, apparently.”
It is a relief that, in the end, the actors were able to make up and production on Avengers: Doomsday was able to continue as expected. It’s most likely that fans will never truly know which two actors this rumor is about, if the rumor is even true. But given how wild of a production this film has been so far, it’s likely this will be the least of the drama fans remember.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in December 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
