Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige disclosed in a recent conversation with the media that Michael Waldron, who created the Disney+ series Loki, is still involved with Avengers: Doomsday. This comes after it was announced that Stephen McFeely had taken over the screenwriting duties for both Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars from Waldron.
Michael Waldron isn’t completely out of writing Avengers: Doomsday
Kevin Feige reflected on the past, present, and future of the MCU during a sit-down with the media at the Marvel Studios Burbank HQ. The executive revealed that while Stephen McFeely was still penning the script for Avengers: Doomsday, Waldron is part of the writing process.
Doomsday is currently in production. “There’s plus-ing happening every day on the Avengers: Doomsday set right now, and it is amazing to watch because what those filmmakers, those actors, both the ones that are playing these characters for the first or second time and the one playing them for the 10th or 12th time, are the best in the world at it, and know these characters so well,” Feige said about the project. “So if they have an idea, you want to listen to it and you want to adjust to it and you want to improve it. I wouldn’t want to change that” (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Additionally, according to industry scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Waldron is also contributing to the script of Secret Wars. “Michael Waldron is involved with the writing of Avengers Doomsday and Secret Wars,” @MyTimeToShineH shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Aside from Loki, Waldron’s writing credits include Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty, Starz’s Heels, 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Hulu’s upcoming comedy series Chad Powers, which Waldron co-created with Glen Powell.
Meanwhile, McFeely co-wrote the screenplays for several MCU projects with Christopher Markus, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Avengers: Doomsday debuts in US theaters on December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
