Pressed for more information about the next Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars, Cheadle said he can’t spoil anything because he doesn’t know anything. “Everything is clay right now. They’re rewriting, they’re reworking, and so I honestly can’t even tease anything,” he said.Doomsday is coming in May 2026, with Avengers co-directors Joe and Antho…
