Avengers Doomsday Star Confirms Unexpected Love Triangle (But Not The One Fans Think)

by

The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday promises a compelling love triangle, and hints at the possibility of another one inspired by Marvel Comics. While the Avengers movies are now famous for their epic stories and action, they originally gained popularity by uniting characters from different franchises. Even after five films and 14 years, this remains a key appeal, with fans excited to see how the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and New Avengers will interact – and what relationships, both friendly and romantic, will develop.

David Harbour, who plays Red Guardian in Avengers: Doomsday, recently told Entertainment Tonight that his character develops a close, brotherly bond and a romantic rivalry with his Thunderbolts co-stars, Sebastian Stan (as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier) and Wyatt Russell (as John Walker/U.S. Agent).

I’ve developed a close bond with my co-stars, Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) and Wyatt Russell, who plays John Walker. I really enjoy the playful, brotherly dynamic between the three of us – it’s been a fun, complicated relationship to explore.

Fans hoping for the complicated love triangle between Reed Richards, Sue Storm, and Namor in the new Avengers movie might be surprised. While the film will definitely include these characters – played by Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Tenoch Huerta – it seems the story won’t focus on that particular romantic entanglement, at least not as the main focus.

Find out how Namor actor Tenoch Huerta responded to a Sue Storm romance.

David Harbour hinted that Red Guardian (Alexei Shostakov) will have a significant relationship with Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) in Doomsday, alongside his close connection with the New Avengers. He described their scenes together as “a lot of beautiful stuff.”

As a fan, I’m really thrilled to hear we’ll be seeing more of that team dynamic! The New Avengers are confirmed to be in both the Doomsday and Secret Wars movies, which is amazing. Though, honestly, I’m a little worried about what happens to them after that – their future beyond Phase 7 is still a mystery.

The actor known for Stranger Things described his new project, Doomsday, as the most ambitious of his career. He also praised Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Doctor Doom, calling it particularly impressive.

Wow, working on [Avengers: Doomsday] has been an enormous project. I thought Stranger Things 5 was a big undertaking, but this is the largest thing I’ve ever been involved with. I’m really looking forward to everyone seeing what [Robert Downey Jr.] has done – I think his performance is incredible.

Will Avengers: Doomsday Adapt Marvel’s Weirdest Love Triangle?

Namor has consistently shown a strong, and often unwelcome, romantic interest in Sue Storm. While Sue has sometimes been drawn to him, she’s always ultimately remained committed to her husband, Reed Richards, and has often been repulsed by Namor’s advances.

With Avengers: Doomsday being the first live-action film to feature all three characters together, fans are eager to see how their relationship will be explored. Adding to the excitement, a reliable source, MyTimeToShineHello, has revealed that Tenoch Huerta and Vanessa Kirby have numerous scenes filmed together in a desert setting.

With so many characters in Doomsday, it’s unlikely we’ll see a full exploration of the complicated love triangle involving Marvel characters. However, a quick nod to that relationship – perhaps Namor showing interest in Storm while she’s clearly unimpressed – feels possible.

The growing friendship between Red Guardian, Winter Soldier, and U.S. Agent was a highlight of Thunderbolts, and fans will likely enjoy seeing more of that dynamic. It will be fascinating to watch how Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) responds to Bucky’s new allies when they finally reunite, and how Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) fits into the mix, potentially setting the stage for a new conflict among heroes.
