Marvel‘s Avengers 5 movie will officially enter full production in January 2025, according to a new report.
Per Nexus Point News – a website that’s run by the same people behind the reliable Marvel leaker ScarletWitchUpdates X/Twitter account – the next Avengers movie will start shooting not long after New Year’s Day 2025. The same outlet claims that the bulk of filming on the highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film will also take place in the UK.
The ensemble team-up flick, which was previously known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty until Marvel reportedly renamed it in the wake of firing former Kang actor Jonathan Majors, was originally slated to arrive in theaters in May 1, 2025. However, thanks to the 2023 Hollywood strikes – among other issues that have affected the comic-book giant’s cinematic universe – Avengers 5 was delayed until May 1, 2026. If the superhero movie is going to meet its new launch date, filming will need to get underway sharpish, which is why Nexus Point News’ latest leak might have more than an air of legitimacy about it.
Marvel could delay the fifth Avengers movie again if it believes that it needs a longer gestation period. But, with Loki season 1 and Doctor Strange 2 writer Michael Waldron installed as the film’s new lead scribe as of November 2023, the Disney subsidiary shouldn’t – I hope, anyway – need to put Avengers 5 back on ice for a prolonged period. Of course, it still needs to find a new director for Avengers 5 after the departure of previous incumbent Destin Daniel Cretton, but the studio has plenty of time to fill that key role before principal photography gets underway.
