With Avengers: Doomsday expected to release in United States theaters in less than a year, Wyatt Russell, who plays John Walker, also known as U.S. Agent, revealed he has not had access to the highly anticipated film’s script. This admission comes despite his confirmed involvement in the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where production for the movie is already underway, raising questions and tension about the state of preparations for the ensemble blockbuster.
Wyatt Russell, currently seen in theaters starring in Thunderbolts*, has established his role as U.S. Agent after his debut in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in 2021. In a recent interview, Russell candidly shared his uncertainty about Avengers: Doomsday, declaring,
“I, honest to God, don’t know what I’m doing. I have no clue. I have not read a script. I could die in the first five minutes, I don’t know.”
His straightforward remarks underline a sense of unpredictability and confusion surrounding not only his character’s fate but also the film’s tightly guarded production process.
Despite the secrecy, Wyatt Russell insists,
“I’m beyond excited and honored to be in that part of the MCU.”
The sentiment reflects both anticipation and frustration, as even core cast members face an unusual level of exclusion from critical story details at this late stage in the timeline. The growing cast list only adds to the intrigue, including Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and other prominent names, all returning or debuting in Marvel’s expansive cinematic world.
This revelation places Wyatt Russell’s involvement in a complex spotlight, amplifying fan anxiety and industry speculation regarding Marvel Studios’ approach to secrecy and potential last-minute changes. With the film’s release date set for May 1, 2026, the lack of script access for key actors could signal major twists or unresolved production details, leaving audiences and insiders alike uncertain yet eager about what Avengers: Doomsday will deliver.
