Avengers: Doomsday – An Unexpected Return to the Cast
In an interview, Mackie expressed his affection for the now-confirmed actor
Anthony Mackie has revealed an interesting detail about the production of Avengers: Doomsday. The actor who plays Sam Wilson, the new Captain America of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealed that he shared the set with Paul Bettany, without, however, providing further information on his colleague's role.
During an interview, Mackie expressed his affection for the British actor: “I got to spend time with Paul Bettany, who I adore.” A statement that corroborates rumors circulated in recent months and paves the way for a presence that has never been officially confirmed until now.
The connection with VisionQuest and hypotheses about the film
Bettany's return as Vision would represent a direct link between the Disney+ television developments and the next major Marvel cinematic event. Some concept art circulated previously showed the character alongside Star-Lord, Wong, and a group of young superheroes, although the Russo brothers had specified that those materials did not necessarily correspond to the definitive version of the story.
Bettany himself, when asked about his participation in the film, avoided committing, joking about the need to find new engagements and calling out Kevin Feige and Louis D'Esposito. Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, will arrive in Italian cinemas on December 16, 2026, 2 days before the United States. Robert Downey Jr. will play Doctor Doom, the antagonist of a story that will reunite MCU characters, the Fantastic Four, and several actors from the X-Men saga.
