The Russos Clarify That 'Avengers: Doomsday' Artwork Does Not Originate From Them, Regrettably.
🕘 Got a scoop on the latest Marvel buzz? Let's dive in!
☑️ A Fake-Out Leak?Word on the street is that we've got a sneak peek of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday concept art—but there's a twist! Marvel artists might have drafted this fabulous fan art, but the Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) say it ain't their show's deal[1][2][4]. They've gone ahead and told THR that this art won't spoil anything cause it wasn't a sneak peek from Doomsday or Secret Wars[1].
😕 Disappointing 'Dud' Leak?With all the enthusiasm it stirred up, it's a bit of a bummer that this isn't actually Doomsday's concept. Some embraced the medieval-style art, which pictured Doom ruling over Latveria and features surprise appearances of characters like Yelena, Reed, Hulk, and She-Hulk[3].
💾 But Wait, What About...There were also modern-day settings showcasing a fresh look for T'Challa, a Star Lord hang-out with White Vision, Wong, Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, Speed, Wiccan, and Ms. Marvel. We've got some missing A-listers like the new Captain America, Thor, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, and a noticeable absence of Scarlet Witch[3].
☢️ Russo's Magnetic Marvel MashupsThe Russos are well-known for juggling extensive superhero casts, and it seems their secret weapon is a set of custom, magnetic baseball cards[1]—keeping track of their Marvel superstars' salaries, contract lengths, and more.
🤝 The Russo-Marvel AgreementThe Russo Brothers have delivered four high-profile MCU movies for Marvel thus far, including Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame[1]. They've also dabbled in Netflix films, like The Electric State[1], a movie that's earned a rather humble 16% critic score. Here's hoping their return to Marvel in 2026-2027 for the next two Avengers films is a little more successful[1].
