After starring as Daredevil on the Netflix series, Cox reprised his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Echo.

Marvel has not confirmed Cox’s appearance in Doomsday. However, Cox’s Daredevil will headline Daredevil: Born Again, a Disney+ show premiering in March 2025. Having Cox appear in Doomsday fresh off Born Again makes sense in the MCU.

Per usual, Marvel remains extremely tight-lipped about the next two Avengers films: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Joe and Anthony Russo are returning from their Marvel hiatus to direct the two Avengers movies. After portraying Iron Man for over a decade, Robert Downey Jr. will play the primary antagonist, Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom.

The Fantastic Four — Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing — are going to be in Doomsday. Other notable additions to the Doomsday cast are Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell, with the latter playing Agent Carter. After playing Captain America, Evans’ character in Doomsday remains under wraps.

Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on May 1, 2026.

So, what was in the box? David Fincher reveals the truth behind Se7en’s ending
Two cops and one convict walk into the desert in Se7en.

"What's in the box?" is the famous phrase uttered by Brad Pitt's David Mills in Se7en. In the climactic scene of David Fincher's crime thriller, Detective Mills and Detective Lieutenant William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) escort serial killer John Doe (Kevin Spacey) outside the city to a remote location. A driver delivers a package to Mills. Somerset opens the package to reveal the severed head of Mills' wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow). Somerset begs a distraught Mills to put the gun down, but the young detective's rage wins out as he kills Doe.

Se7enĀ is heading to IMAX on January 3 for the film's 30th anniversary before its 4K UHD Blu-ray release on January 7. In honor of the occasion, Fincher sat down with Entertainment Weekly and discussed what was really in the box. Because the head is never shown on screen, fans have wondered what Fincher put in the box. There's a rumor that a prosthetic head and body modeled after Paltrow were in the box to elicit a genuine reaction from the actors.
