Tenoch Huerta Talks Returning to the MCU for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Huerta recently appeared on TV Azteca‘s late-night show La Resolana Con El Capi. (An interview we first heard about at Deadline.) During his visit he talked about returning to the MCU for the first time since his 2022 debut. Not that he knew for sure he’d definitely be back. Marvel only confirmed with his agents he’d appear in Avengers: Doomsday less than six hours before it began announcing the cast with a lengthy live stream of empty chairs. “They practically told us around 12 at night. And at 5:30 in the morning the livestream started and they told us, ‘Hey, the news is about to drop.’”

While Huerta says that was “surprising” and “cool,” actually shooting the movie was a very different “dynamic” from filming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever where he was the main antagonist. “There are twenty-something characters involved in the story,” he said. “Which means we are each going to have smaller roles because there needs to be space for all the characters and all the universes.”

Huerta describes his role in the film as “simpler” in both “terms of time and energy.” What’s not clear is whether he ever shot with 20 other people at the same time or if that is how many of Doomsday‘s numerous characters who play a meaningful role in the film.

Marvel Studios didn’t even tell its own actor if he was definitely in Doomsday or not. We don’t expect to get answers about ourselves anytime soon.
