  "account": "Chris Evans has given an intriguing glimpse into the upcoming Marvel film, Avengers: Doomsday. The actor, who is set to reprise his role as Captain America, has revealed that the storyline for the iconic hero is going to be quite brutal. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Russo brothers, directors of the film, love nothing more than to \"beat the crap out of Steve Rogers.\" They find the heroism of a character in his strength to keep getting up after being punched numerous times. Evans added that the Russo brothers keep finding new ways to \"kick his butt,\" with this particular storyline being particularly brutal.\n\nThe film will also feature Robert Downey Jr. as the primary antagonist, Doctor Doom. At Comic-Con last month, directors Anthony and Joe Russo spoke about their decision to cast Downey Jr. as the villain. They were instantly convinced by Downey Jr.'s distinct voice for the character, particularly its impact when delivered through the mask. The film will bring together an extensive cast of Marvel superheroes, including the Avengers, earlier generations of the X-Men, the Thunderbolts, and the Fantastic Four, all coming together to face off against Doctor Doom.\n\n\"Avengers: Doomsday\" is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.",
