Marvel Studios reveals the cast for Avengers: Doomsday

Marvel Studios‘ next major event film, Avengers: Doomsday, is in production and the company has revealed a long list of actors from all sorts of different eras of Marvel films that will be in the movie. Much like the last round of Avengers films, this latest entry will be split into two movies released a year apart, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars which will likely see Earth’s heroes taking on Doctor Doom.

During last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr. was returning to Marvel films but this time as Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom! Along with Downey, the Russo Brothers would be returning to direct the film.

Now, we get to see all of the other stars, and their characters, that will likely be going up against Downey Jr. with a few surprises:

• Chris Hemsworth – Thor
• Vanessa Kirby – Sue Storm/Invisible Woman
• Anthony Mackie – Sam Wilson/Captain America
• Sebastian Stan – Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
• Letitia Wright – Shuri
• Paul Rudd – Ant-Man
• Wyatt Russell – John Walker
• Tenoch Huerta Mejia – Namor
• Ebon Moss-Bachrach – Ben Grimm/Thing
• Simu Liu – Shang-Chi
• Florence Pugh – Yelena Belova
• Kelsey Grammer – Beast
• Lewis Pullman – Robert Reynolds/Sentry
• Danny Ramirez – Joaquin Torres
• Joseph Quinn – Johnny Storm/Human Torch
• David Harbour – Red Guardian
• Winston Duke – M’Baku
• Hannah John-Kamen – Ghost
• Tom Hiddleston – Loki
• Patrick Stewart – Professor X
• Ian McKellen – Magneto
• Alan Cumming – Nightcrawler
• Rebecca Romijn – Mystique
• James Marsden – Cyclops
• Channing Tatum – Gambit
• Pedro Pascal – Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic
• Robert Downey Jr. – Victor Von Doom

What stands out?

Obviously the inclusion of classic X-Men characters, and which, is a bit of a surprise. Patrick Stewart has appeared as Professor X in one film, but overall the inclusion of so many teases what might be coming. Lewis Pullman’s Sentry is listed which sort of spoils the upcoming film Thunderbolts*. There are not Eternals listed, nor any of the television characters Beyond that, the cast list is mostly the newer actors who have picked up the torch.

We’re still expected a few more surprises… Chris Evans’ return anyone?

Avengers: Doomsday is set to come to theaters in 2026. You can watch the teaser announcement below.
