Avengers: Doomsday Stars Florence Pugh & David Harbour Reveal Just How Secretive Marvel Is Being About The Upcoming MCU Movie
With Yelena Belova and Red Guardian set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, the two Marvel Cinematic Universe stars reveal a shocking detail about their upcoming film. Following the massive reveal from Marvel Studios' surprise announcement of several MCU characters that will be in the Avengers: Doomsday cast, principal photography is set to start in just a couple of days. However, in true Marvel Studios fashion, there's still a lot of secrecy surrounding Avengers: Doomsday.
In a new interview with ETNow, Pugh and Harbour, who will be reprising their characters in Avengers: Doomsday, were asked what they could say about facing Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. However, the two MCU actors revealed that despite being confirmed to be part of the cast, they have still not gotten to read the script for Avengers: Doomsday, sharing the following:
Florence Pugh: I actually have no clue because I haven't read a script, so I can't leak anything!
David Harbour: I'm in the same boat, I haven't read a script!
What Florence Pugh & David Harbour's MCU Update Means For Avengers: Doomsday
While nearly every MCU movie and TV show that Marvel Studios produces is kept under wraps as much as possible, there is always a greater sense of security when it comes to the Avengers movies. Given that the Avengers franchise is what brings Marvel Studios their billion-dollar victories, they want as little information as possible to leak about the Avengers: Doomsday story. That is why it's not shocking that the Avengers: Doomsday cast haven't read the script yet.
It is also likely that whenever Pugh and Harbour, and everyone else in the Avengers: Doomsday cast, read the script, they will definitely not get to keep the screenplays to themselves, given how many spoilers Marvel is trying to keep from the public. For fans following the Avengers: Doomsday production, time will tell how many of those story points will remain a mystery as filming gets underway. The cast for the ensemble movie is likely bound to be filming mostly in studios and secured areas, making it hard for photographers to get pictures of the overall arc.
Our Take On Florence Pugh & David Harbour's Avengers: Doomsday Update
While it is understandable why Pugh and Harbour haven't gotten to read the Avengers: Doomsday script, it is still funny that they have no idea what lines they have in the movie and what is in store for their storyline when they are days away from filming.That is why it will be even more fascinating to see how guarded Marvel Studios will be when they get to Avengers: Secret Wars. Hopefully, more news about Avengers: Doomsday will be unveiled, especially once filming has gotten underway.
