Anthony Mackie Teases the Ending of Avengers: Doomsday (And It Will Leave Fans Furious)

by

Anthony Mackie, known for his role as a Marvel star, hints at an unsettling twist in “Avengers: Doomsday.” During a recent interview with Collider while promoting his new film “Sneaks,” Mackie was asked about the upcoming battle between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Doctor Doom. Mackie couldn’t reveal much, but he did share that “Doomsday” will end on a suspenseful note, paving the way for the culmination of the Multiverse Saga in 2027’s “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Moreover, Mackie suggests that some characters may not make it through the battle against Doom.

Mackie expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “You realize this? I was genuinely thrilled, buddy. This tale is something extraordinary, it challenges the norms, and let me tell you about the climax – the final scenes in the movie, especially that suspenseful cliffhanger – it escalates and leaves us on a tantalizing note, hinting at how the Marvel narrative might continue, which is truly exhilarating.

I must say, the creator masterfully crafts these characters, skillfully weaving them into the narrative and setting up a dynamic world where no character is invincible, not even the seemingly indispensable ones.

Following the announcement of the cast for Avengers: Doomsday (with Mackie being one of the 27 actors confirmed), the lead actor from Captain America has been eagerly anticipating Sam Wilson’s return in this highly-anticipated film. This week, Mackie hinted that Doomsday will revive “the classic Marvel sensation” reminiscent of the Infinity Saga, a development that could rejuvenate the franchise, which has experienced a decline in box office success in recent times.

Mackie has announced that he will appear in not only “Avengers: Doomsday” but also “Secret Wars.” Production for “Avengers: Doomsday” is ongoing and will wrap up by the end of summer. The team behind the scenes will reunite next year to shoot “Secret Wars.” Alongside Mackie’s Captain America, the cast of “Doomsday” features various Avengers characters, Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Fantastic Four, and characters from Fox’s X-Men movies.

If it’s true that the ending of Doomsday leaves things unresolved, it seems that directors Joe and Anthony Russo are adopting a strategy similar to the conclusion of Marvel’s Infinity Saga, as seen in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. The previous film ended on a somber note with numerous character deaths, paving the way for the emotional journey of Endgame. While this method worked effectively in the past, some viewers might not appreciate another cliffhanger being used in an Avengers movie. It can be disheartening to not receive the complete story immediately and having to wait a whole year before getting the resolution can add to the tension. This approach also places additional burden on the creative team to meet the expectations set by the cliffhanger. Fans will spend a year speculating about how the Multiverse Saga might conclude, and if Secret Wars doesn’t live up to the hype, Marvel could find themselves in a difficult position.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve grown accustomed to the fact that Doomsday would end on a nail-biting cliffhanger, leading straight into Secret Wars. These two films are intrinsically linked and represent the culmination of this phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given the Russo brothers’ past success with such story arcs, I have high hopes that they’re the right team for the job. They’ve returned to Marvel to steer the franchise in a more streamlined direction, so it’s reasonable to assume they’ve got a clear vision for these Avengers movies. It’s going to be frustrating to be left on a cliffhanger when Doomsday concludes, but considering the Russo brothers’ history of delivering, the wait will undoubtedly be worthwhile.
