Avengers: Doomsday Star Claims the Movie Never Really Ended

If you thought MCU production weirdness peaked with missing Infinity Stones or ever-shifting release dates, get this: one of the main cast members from Avengers: Doomsday just admitted he read a script for this giant crossover... and it didn’t actually have an ending. That’s not a metaphor. He means it pretty much just stopped—no finale attached. And this comes straight from the rocky mouth of Ben Grimm himself, Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Yes, They Didn’t Finish the Script. For Real.

Moss-Bachrach was on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and gave the kind of candid interview you rarely get when Marvel has their actors on lockdown. This wasn’t another vague ‘it’s the biggest, craziest Marvel movie ever’ promo—he was just being honest about how odd it feels trying to act in a film this enormous, with a story spanning a million characters and probably a dozen universes at once.

For context, Moss-Bachrach’s first big Marvel job—The Fantastic Four: First Steps—had the cast walking through the story together day by day. There was a real sense of everyone working through the narrative at more or less the same speed. Avengers: Doomsday? Not so much. According to him, it was a totally different animal—much more broken up and piecemeal, with actors playing out their slim chunk of the story without a real grasp of what anyone else was doing, or even how things connected in the grand scheme.

If You’re Confused... So Was He

It's not just viewers who lose their place in the MCU timeline—Moss-Bachrach admitted trying to keep track of the crazy multiverse plotlines kind of melted his brain. He said Joe and Anthony Russo (the directors who returned for this monster project) were 'walking me through' how his version of The Thing actually fit into a story that’s apparently even more tangled than Endgame. If you ever feel like you need a spreadsheet to understand MCU crossover logic, rest assured, so do some of the people actually making the thing.

What Moss-Bachrach Actually Said about the Script

Let’s get to the money quote. When asked if he got his hands on the whole Avengers: Doomsday script, he actually confirmed it, adding:

'Yeah, I did read a full script, but those scripts change quite a bit. You know what? Probably not, it probably didn't have a full, like, third act. I don't think it had an ending. I don't think anyone gets to see that stuff.'

Let that sink in: a tentpole Marvel movie this size, with an un-baked (possibly non-existent) third act even as the cast was onboard and reading versions of the script. Let’s just say, if you’re betting on plot leaks, don’t expect clarity anytime soon—no one, not even The Thing, knows how this one actually wraps up yet.

What’s It Like Filming in This MCU Chaos?

• Fantastic Four: Moss-Bachrach said the vibe was focused and coherent, with the actors understanding the whole journey.
• Avengers: Doomsday: He described it as totally 'compartmentalized,' piecing things together without context, which honestly sounds exhausting.
• MCU Plot Twistery: He frequently needed the Russos to give him the ‘where am I now?’ lowdown, which tells you just how dense these intersecting storylines have gotten.
• The End…? The script he read just trailed off before any real finale, and he’s not expecting to see a finished ending until, well, probably the same night audiences do.
• On Set with RDJ: One bright spot: Moss-Bachrach praised Robert Downey Jr. for being generous and genuinely supportive (he’s back as Doctor Doom this time, in case you missed that casting twist).

Bottom line: Avengers: Doomsday is so gigantic—even the actors are working in the dark. If Marvel can actually stitch this thing into a coherent (and finished) movie, it’ll be a magic trick. Until then, your guess about the ending is as good as Ben Grimm’s.
