It was announced at today's SDCC Hall H Marvel Studios panel that Giancarlo Esposito will be playing the character Sidewinder in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World movie. In the comics Sidewinder organized the group of snake themed villains known as the Serpent Society.
It was also announced that things have changed with the next two Avengers movies. The next movie coming out in May 2026 will be titled Avengers: Doomsday which apparently will see Robert Downey Jr. return to the MCU but not as Iron Man. This time he will be playing the character of Dr. Doom.
Avengers: Secret Wars will come out in May 2027. The Russo Brothers are also coming back to direct these movies.
No Hugh or Ryan. No Spidermen. No Hulk, she or otherwise. No Chris Evans or Jeremy Renner. Surprisingly no other Antman cast and not surprisingly, no GotG cast
The cast might actually outdo Endgame. Unless, of course, if most of these characters only get 30-second cameos.
Lol, I feel like there's some spoilers in here for Thunderbolts at the very least.

Doom not taking his mask off is so much part of his character, and he deserves the respect to the storytelling of the past decades. I don't think anyone can debate which Judge Dredd movie was better, and a big reason was the respect Urban showed by not taking off his helmet. I still cant get over Ghost having never revealed his face or name....ever, and then in the first few minutes of screen time taking off her helmet and saying, "hi I'm Ava Starr!"
Again, I can only cross my fingers that RDJ is committed enough to insist on not taking off the helmet, as it is part of his complex personality.
Don't worry, I didn't take it the wrong way.I agree with you and I really hope that RDJ doesn't take the mask off.

RDJ helped start the MCU. He deserves the big payment. As long as his performance as Doom is delivered on a complex anti-villain level, and they dive into his Romani background. I will be satisfied.
This right here is a big reason for the negativity. The budget is already almost 100 million, and they haven't even started a script! The Marvels budget was a big part of what ensured it was a flop. It's a HUGE reason I'm worried about Cap 4. What is it at? 350 million after reshoots? How in the Hell is that thing gonna succeed?
Variety has reported that the agreements for "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars" have been finalized. Marvel has invested $80 million to secure the directorial services of Anthony and Joe Russo, in addition to a higher undisclosed sum to bring Robert Downey Jr. on board.
The contract for the Russo brothers does not include back-end compensation; however, it features performance escalators that activate upon reaching the $750 million and $1 billion revenue marks. Furthermore, the brothers will produce both films under their AGBO production company, representing a shift for Marvel, as the studio typically prefers to collaborate with in-house producers rather than external ones.
Downey will enjoy perks such as private jet travel, dedicated security, and a complete "trailer encampment" similar to Tony Stark's lavish lifestyle.
