During an interview with the Mexican show La Resolana Con El Capi, Huerta revealed that he learned about the offer to film just hours before the announcement of the new movie.
We were waiting for the green light from Marvel. My agents in the US weren't sure themselves, and we were told the news almost at midnight. And at 5:30 AM, the broadcast with the cast announcement started. It was unexpected and very cool
Speaking about the work process during the new part of "Avengers", Huerta reported that this time there is a slightly different atmosphere on the set.
The story involves characters in their twenties, so everyone gets less time, because there needs to be room for all the heroes and all the universes. This simplifies the work, because less energy and time are spent on preparation
"Avengers: Doomsday" is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely.
