‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Star Kelsey Grammer Is Creating Headaches for Marvel

by

Since the massive success of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios has faced challenges. Now, a rising star in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is creating problems that could hinder the studio’s efforts to regain its footing. Following Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has experienced difficulties with several projects, including underperforming films like The Marvels and disappointing sequels such as Captain America: Brave New World.

What was once expected to be a golden age for the Marvel Cinematic Universe has instead seen audiences grow tired of superhero content. This decline in interest has affected Marvel’s recent movies and shows in Phases Four and Five, and it’s been made worse by the fact that so many installments are released each year. These projects are also heavily connected, meaning you almost need to watch everything to follow the overall story.

As a huge Marvel fan, I was really shocked when the Jonathan Majors situation unfolded. His conviction meant a major shake-up for the future of the MCU, especially since Kang was supposed to be the big villain for years to come. Then came the announcement of the next Avengers movie being called Doomsday and, even bigger, Robert Downey Jr. coming back – but as Doctor Doom! It was a total surprise that split fans, but I was definitely excited. Now, Doomsday feels like Marvel’s big attempt to get things back on track, and they really can’t afford any more problems. Sadly, it seems like Kelsey Grammer may have already caused one, with some comments he made that have created a new wave of trouble.

Kelsey Grammer, known for playing Beast in X-Men: The Last Stand and Days of Future Past, surprised and pleased Marvel fans with a cameo in the post-credits scene of The Marvels in November 2023. This appearance hinted at the long-awaited integration of the X-Men team from Fox into the main Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is especially welcome as the franchise looks to regain momentum. However, since it was announced he’d be back in Doomsday, Grammer has unfortunately caused some avoidable public relations issues for Marvel.

He accidentally shared minor details about the upcoming Doomsday film during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. This is a big mistake in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as stars like Tom Holland have shown that keeping secrets is crucial. The information quickly spread online, revealing which current Marvel actors he supposedly appears with. While Marvel President Kevin Feige might be a little annoyed, the spoilers aren’t major and won’t ruin the movie.

Kelsey Grammer’s recent positive comments about President Donald Trump are raising concerns at the studio. In an interview with Fox News before the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, Grammer called Trump “extraordinary” and even suggested he might be “the greatest” president the country has ever seen. While everyone is free to have their own opinion, these remarks come at a time when Trump’s approval ratings have been falling after his return to office.

Donald Trump, who has been impeached twice and recently convicted of a crime, has been downplaying concerns about the cost of living, calling them a “Democratic hoax.” He’s also been criticized for his treatment of female reporters, even making demeaning comments to one. His policies, like high tariffs on imported goods, have increased prices for everyday items, adding to inflation. Meanwhile, Jon Grammer, a well-known conservative in the entertainment industry, has previously expressed support for Trump. However, the timing of his public statements could be problematic for Marvel, considering the company is already facing challenges and these comments could be divisive.

I have to admit, when I heard Kelsey Grammer had publicly praised Trump, it quickly spread all over the internet and caused quite a stir! Especially among fans of his classic shows, Frasier and Cheers. It was interesting to see the reactions – some conservative viewers seemed to appreciate his honesty, but plenty of others strongly disagreed. I even saw one post on X that said, ‘Kelsey Grammer is a talented actor, but he’s really made a mistake here.’ It’s definitely sparked a lot of debate.

Someone compared Kelsey Grammer’s intelligence to that of Frasier Crane, the character he famously played, suggesting that acting smart on television doesn’t necessarily mean someone is intelligent in their personal life.

The biting remarks didn’t stop there, with some questioning the authenticity of Grammer’s words:

Another X user revealed that their respect for Grammer had officially left the building:

Everyone is, of course, free to have their own beliefs, but Kelsey Grammer risks upsetting many of his fans by sharing his political opinions, especially now when he and Marvel Studios could really use their support. His recent Frasier reboot was cancelled by Paramount+ after only two seasons, and despite hoping to find it a new home, that hasn’t happened yet.

Marvel’s movies and shows haven’t been as popular or well-received since Endgame, so the studio really needs to avoid bad publicity. If Kelsey Grammer continues to publicly share his political opinions, it could lead to a fan boycott of Doomsday, much like what’s happening with the new Harry Potter series on HBO due to J.K. Rowling’s controversial views. This kind of negative reaction could also pressure Marvel to change or cut scenes featuring Grammer to avoid upsetting fans.

The current situation isn’t great, and it raises a question: will Grammer keep sharing his opinions, or will the negative reaction he’s receiving make him stay silent? We’ll have to wait and see. In other news, if everything goes as planned, Avengers: Doomsday is set to be the largest team-up Marvel fans have seen since Endgame, hitting theaters on December 18, 2026.
