## Summary

The Russo brothers said Bruce Banner is involved in the Doctor Doom-centred story of *Avengers: Doomsday*, but declined to confirm whether Mark Ruffalo will appear in the film. They added that some cast members have not yet been announced.

The film is due for release on 18 December as part of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and follows *Avengers: Endgame*, which the Russos also directed. Its groups of heroes include the Avengers, Wakandans, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the original X-Men; the directors said filming began before the script was finished, reflecting their rehearsal-based, improvisational approach.
