Things are moving in the right direction forAvengers: Secret Warsas one of the main stars in theMarvel Cinematic Universeshares a major production update. The clock is ticking for The Multiverse Saga as 2025 will not only mark the end of Phase 5, but the beginning of Phase 6, which will serve as the final chapter to Marvel Studios' ongoing storytelling. WithAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Warsset to feature Robert Downey Jr.as Doctor Doom, the stakes have never been higher for the multiverse.
In a new interview withDeadline,Captain America: Brave New Worldstar Anthony Mackie teased what is coming up for Sam Wilson after his solo movie debuts later this week. While confirming that he will be filmingAvengers: Doomsdaythrough the summer,Mackie also confirmed thatAvengers: Secret Warswill be starting principal photography in 2026, sharing the following:
We shoot in London through the summer and then the following summer we shoot the next one [Avengers: Secret Wars]. It’s going to be a full slate.
What Anthony Mackie’s Avengers: Secret Wars Update Means For The Phase 6 Movie
When it was revealed that Anthony and Joe Russo, who helmedAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame, had been tapped todirectAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars,many assumed the two Phase 6 films would be shot back-to-back. However, with Mackie’s confirmation that the two movies will be filmed separately, it puts that theory to rest. However, it also indicates that Marvel Studios are taking the same approach that they did withAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame, which worked very much in their favor.
It’s also possible that, depending on howtheAvengers: Secret Warscastis constructed,that whoever doesn’t end up being inAvengers: Doomsdaywill instead appear in the final Phase 6 film. Since some of the MCU’s biggest players are played by a lot of huge names in Hollywood, it wouldn’t be shocking if some were simply not available forAvengers: Doomsdaythis year. That would also allow the story inAvengers: Secret Warsto justify their return, thus having filming take place in 2026 instead.
Our Take On Anthony Mackie’s Avengers: Secret Wars Update
From Mackie’sAvengers: Secret Warsfilming update,it will be exciting to follow any news that will start to emerge about the movie throughout 2025. WhileAvengers: Doomsdayfilmingis reportedly starting next month, it wouldn’t be shocking if a preview for the film, as well as some huge news aboutAvengers: Secret Wars, ends up being saved for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. But for now, the world will have to wait and see what is in store forAvengers: Secret Wars.
