Avengers: Doomsdaywill be the ultimate crossover event for longtime Marvel fans, bringing back the original X-Men crew as well as other fan-favorites from a bygone era of the superhero genre. In addition tocasting a bevy ofX-Menactors,Doomsdaywill be getting some veteran superhero talent behind the camera. Fortunately, it seems that the nextAvengerssequel will look like anX-Menfilm in more ways than one.
According to several reports, veteran cinematographerNewton Thomas Sigelwill reunite with the Russo Brothers onAvengers: Doomsdayafter working onCherryin 2021. His previous credits also includeX-Men: Days of Future Past,Drive,Da 6 Bloods, and many more. His wide-ranging resume also includesBohemian Rhapsody, but we doubt there will be musicals in Doomsday. Sigel is an especially logical choice due to his previous working relationship with the directors onCherry, as well as shooting what is widely regarded as one of the bestX-Menfilms ever. Hopefully, this means more people fromDays of Future Pastwill be joining the upcoming team-up film, but Sigel is another exciting addition for now.

Legendary Comic Creator Seemingly Reveals Major ‘Avengers’ Details
Warning: The following may contain spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Over the past week, Marvel Comics legend Chris Claremont attended the Pop Culture Expo in Huntsville, Alabama. For whatever reason, Claremont went on to describe what he knows about Avengers: Doomsdayin great detail, includingsome minor to possibly major spoilers. We won’t recap everything he said here, but some of the highlights included that Famke Janssen is officially back as Jean Grey, while Chris Evans is playing an alternate, evil version of Captain America. Much of what he said was a part of the popular speculation surrounding the film, but there are some details he reveals that only a select few involved with the production would know about.
If Janssen does indeed return as Jean Grey, it means fans should probably expect even more appearances from other members of theX-Men(especially since the script is reportedly not finished yet and is ever-changing while they close deals with actors).
