Summary

  • Avengers: Doomsday features Robert Downey Jr. as villain Doctor Doom, uniting past MCU heroes.
  • Rumors suggest X-Men characters X-23 and Beast will join the roster for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
  • Marvel Studios may be planning to incorporate mutants into the MCU through the next two Avengers films.

In the highly anticipated movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday“, it’s likely that a number of beloved characters from the series will make an appearance. Moreover, there’s speculation that two actors who have previously played X-Men could potentially reprise their roles for this exciting production.

The plot specifics for Avengers: Doomsday are rather scant, but it’s confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. will portray the antagonist Doctor Doom. Similar to the previous four Avengers films, a multitude of heroes from past MCU productions will band together to confront the menace posed by Doctor Doom and his associates. Following the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, an assortment of fresh characters have been incorporated into the franchise, providing Marvel Studios with a wide variety of heroes to assemble. A recent speculation suggests that two X-Men characters from the Fox era will be part of the lineup.

According to trusted sources MyTimeToShineHello and The Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez, it is suggested that Dafne Keen will reprise her character as X-23 (Laura Kinney) in the upcoming films ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Secret Wars’. Similarly, Kelsey Grammer may return to portray Beast (Dr. Hank McCoy). However, it remains unclear whether their appearances are limited to one or both of these movies. No further details have been shared about the extent of X-23 or Beast’s roles in the next two ‘Avengers’ films.

The news that Laura Keen (X-23) and Peter Jason Grammer (Beast) are coming back for the films Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars is thrilling, yet not entirely unexpected. Although both characters initially appeared in Fox’s X-Men movies, they made their way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through separate films during the Multiverse storyline.

Laura Keen first played the role of X-23 alongside Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in James Mangold’s 2017 film Logan. She reprised her role approximately 8 years later in the movie Deadpool and Wolverine. In the final scene, we see X-23 celebrating with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool, Jackman’s Wolverine, and their companions.

Meanwhile, Grammer reappeared as Beast in the post-credits scene of The Marvels, where he greeted Monica Rambeau when she awoke in an alternate universe.

In the movie The Marvels, Beast is set to make a comeback among several post-credit scenes from Marvel that haven’t resulted in anything significant so far. However, if the whispers about casting for Avengers: Doomsday are accurate, the long-awaited resolution for this thrilling yet unimpactful scene might be on its way next year. Both actors, Keen and Grammer, have hinted at their willingness to reappear, with Grammer even confirming discussions with Marvel Studios regarding reviving his X-Men character. As such, there seems to be a possibility that these rumors could indeed hold some merit, although they remain unverified by official sources as of now.

As a diehard movie enthusiast, especially when it comes to Marvel’s epic sagas, I can’t help but get pumped up about the upcoming roles of the X-Men in the next two Avengers installments, “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” With X-23 and Beast already on board, it’s a given that more mutant heroes will join them for these epic battles. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has confirmed that “Avengers: Secret Wars” will pave the way for a new era of X-Men stories, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation about how these iconic characters will fit into the grand scheme of the Multiverse and what exciting twists Feige has planned for mutantkind. There’s even a popular theory circulating that “Avengers: Secret Wars” might serve as a reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, setting the stage for a continuity where mutants were part of the franchise right from the start. The inclusion of multiple X-Men characters in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” certainly fuels this intriguing theory!

Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 1, 2026.
