Summary
Highlights
The Russo Brothers are once again teasing upcoming Avengers movies, "Doomsday" and "Secret Wars," with cryptic posts, similar to their approach for "Infinity War" and "Endgame." This coincides with New York Comic Con, suggesting intentional hype building. They have also been teasing comic-accurate X-Men suits, fulfilling long-standing fan requests. Principal photography for these movies is complete, but extensive reshoots are planned, which explains the long post-production period and recent delays.
Joe Russo posted a new set photo for "Avengers: Doomsday" with the caption 'look harder,' reminiscent of his "Endgame" teasers. Fans are speculating about hidden Easter eggs and clues in the background, though previous instances suggest these elements are often just set decoration, not significant plot reveals.
Recent leaks have revealed comic book-accurate X-Men costumes and a first look at Doctor Doom. Channing Tatum, who is expected to play Gambit, hinted at mind-blowing X-Men content. Franklin Richards is confirmed to be aged up, as seen in the Fantastic Four post-credits scene, and Namor will also sport a more comic-accurate suit. These leaks originated from crew members, including hair and makeup, and stunt coordinators.

The leaked images showcase various characters' costumes. The X-Men costumes blend Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men with X-Men '97 designs, featuring notable changes like Mystique having an actual costume and Beast appearing comic-accurate. Cyclops's 1990s costume is highly accurate. Franklin Richards is also shown. Doctor Doom's depiction aligns with previous HD leaks. The leaked crew wrap gift art only features characters from the official chair watch video, seemingly to avoid spoiling unannounced appearances like Spider-Man and Wolverine.
Short-haired Thor returns with a new gold-emblemed costume. Sam Wilson's Captain America suit and Ant-Man's suit remain consistent with their last appearances. The Fantastic Four have slightly altered costumes, with some characters sporting jackets. Shuri's Black Panther suit is similar, but actress Letitia Wright hinted at a new suit. Shang-Chi's suit remains unchanged. God Loki is seen with his Season 2 cloak and smaller, bendy horns. M'Baku is depicted as the King of Wakanda, with Shuri as the Black Panther. Namor receives a more comic-accurate design with a popped collar and a vest.
The X-Men lineup includes Ian McKellen's Magneto with a more comic-accurate red suit and Patrick Stewart's Professor X, without his iconic yellow chair. Channing Tatum's Gambit is prominent, suggesting this X-Men team is his, possibly the same team Monica Rambeau encountered in 'The Marvels.' James Marsden's Cyclops boasts a highly comic-accurate 90s costume. Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler is also featured, and he revealed a fight scene with Mr. Fantastic. Sentry appears in his full Sentry form, implying a significant event forced him to overcome his fear of the Void.
