About Avengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Doomsday is developed by Universal Studios Hollywood Hub. This upcoming project has garnered attention due to its potential connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly through the return of beloved characters.
Ms. Marvel's Potential Return
Gollum actor Andy Serkis has suggested that Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel, will make a notable return in Avengers: Doomsday, portrayed by Iman Vellani. Last seen in 2023's The Marvels, Vellani's character currently isn't listed among the official cast for Doomsday. However, Serkis's comments during a Cinemahub interview hint at her involvement.
During the interview, Vellani and Serkis discussed their upcoming projects, including Serkis's directorial debut with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. When Vellani expressed excitement for Gollum's return, Serkis replied, "I'm excited to see you in Doomsday!" This prompted Vellani to jokingly respond, "No, you can't say that!" Serkis followed up with, "Oh, well, if there should ever be the chance to see you in a film, like called Doomsday..." This playful exchange raises questions about Ms. Marvel's presence in the film.
Context for Ms. Marvel's Return
Though Marvel hasn't officially confirmed Vellani's return, her reappearance in Avengers: Doomsday seems likely. The character was last seen forming a new Young Avengers team, which includes recruiting other heroes like Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang, played by Kathryn Newton. Notably, Newton has already been confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, indicating a potential setup for the Young Avengers narrative.
Fans speculate that characters with minor roles may film additional scenes this year, especially since principal photography for Doomsday has wrapped. This could pave the way for cameos, including Ms. Marvel's, while the main Avengers deal with the formidable villain Doctor Doom. Such appearances would not only enhance the film but also lay the groundwork for next year's Avengers: Secret Wars and a rumored Young Avengers project in the future.
