Simu Liu Adds Emotional Depth to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
By Andrew Sanford | News | November 4, 2025
The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is expected to be a major cinematic event, but will it also deliver on emotional impact? The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) remains a global force, though it no longer dominates the cultural landscape as it once did.
MCU’s Recent Performance and Stakes
The Fantastic Four: First Steps earned slightly over $500 million, which, while not a failure, falls short of Marvel’s typical blockbuster expectations. The fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland is anticipated to perform well, setting the stage for the much-anticipated MCU crossover, Avengers: Doomsday.
This film already carries significant weight after changes including replacing Jonathan Majors as the main villain, switching directors, and incorporating multiple Fox-era X-Men characters. Additionally, Robert Downey Jr. returns as Doctor Doom, likely for a substantial fee.
Transition and Future of the MCU
Producer Kevin Feige has hinted at a form of reboot following the next two Avengers movies, indicating that Avengers: Doomsday will serve as a farewell to this chapter of the MCU.
Simu Liu on the Film’s Heart and Cast
Simu Liu recently shared his excitement in a ScreenRant interview, highlighting the film’s extensive ensemble and emotional resonance:
“I mean, there are just so many actors in it, and getting to work with those people as peers is really incredible because I grew up watching so many of them. It feels, in a lot of ways, like a love letter to the entire genre of superhero movies. And I think there’s something really fun about that.”
His comments suggest that beyond spectacle, Avengers: Doomsday aims to capture a heartfelt celebration of superhero cinema.
Summary: Simu Liu hints that Avengers: Doomsday will combine star-studded action with genuine emotion, marking a poignant send-off for this era of the MCU.
