Summary

  • Avengers: Doomsday cast features X-Men actors joining the MCU.
  • Rumors suggest Halle Berry may reprise her role as Storm.
  • Unconfirmed reports hint at an Avengers vs X-Men plot adaptation.

It appears that the cast for “Avengers: Doomsday” might be larger than initially announced during Marvel Studios’ livestream event in March. One of these potential new additions could be a character who previously appeared in Fox’s X-Men films, hinting at some interesting crossovers.

During a livestream event on Marvel Studios’ YouTube channel, the cast for “Avengers: Doomsday” was revealed. Although fans weren’t taken aback by many of the names, they did find it surprising that some actors from Fox’s X-Men movies were included. However, what really caught people’s attention was who wasn’t part of the cast, with notable absences like Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), and more. It seems that Marvel Studios is keeping some Avengers: Doomsday cast announcements under wraps as they haven’t finalized deals with all the actors yet, planning to save these names for a grander unveiling. A fresh rumor suggests that one of those unannounced actors could be another character from Fox’s original X-Men live-action films.

Avengers: Doomsday Cast May Have Another X-Men Actor

According to reliable source Daniel Richtman, it appears that Halle Berry might be close to signing on to reprise her iconic role as Storm in the upcoming film Avengers: Doom’s Day. If this turns out to be true, Berry would join previously announced cast members Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammer, who will reprise their roles from the X-Men movies produced by Fox. Halle Berry initially played Storm in Bryan Singer’s 2000 X-Men movie and later appeared in three more films, with her last being X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014. At this point, it’s important to note that the news about Berry starring in Avengers: Doom’s Day has not yet been confirmed by official sources.

As a die-hard movie enthusiast who can’t get enough of the X-Men saga, I’ve always been intrigued by the crossover of actors from Fox’s X-Men films in Marvel Studios productions like “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” “The Marvels,” and even “Deadpool & Wolverine.” However, it seems that “Avengers: Doomsday” could be the biggest gathering of the original live-action mutants within the MCU thus far. Naturally, this has left fans wondering about the reasoning behind such a large influx of X-Men characters from former non-MCU films in “Avengers: Doomsday.”

Rumors abound that the storyline for “Avengers: Doomsday” will revolve around an intrusion between the primary MCU and a “divergent” X-Men Universe, culminating in a confrontation between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the mutant team. Some speculate that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom could be orchestrating these events. This theory aligns with earlier whispers that “Avengers 5” was going to adapt the Avengers vs X-Men comic book storyline.

However, it’s essential to note that all of this is purely speculative at this point, as Marvel Studios has yet to disclose any official details about “Avengers: Doomsday,” and they likely won’t for some time.

If the film “Avengers: Doomsday” were to follow the storyline of “Avengers vs X-Men,” it’s safe to say that fans would be thrilled to see Halle Berry’s character, Storm (real name Ororo Monroe), joining the X-Men squad. Storm is a prominent and powerful mutant in the comics, known for her leadership roles in Charles Xavier’s team alongside actors like Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and James Marsden (Cyclops). Her absence from the “Avengers: Doomsday” X-Men roster might have been viewed as a significant oversight by many fans.

It’s understandable that some fans worry that the upcoming movie, Avengers: Doomsday, might become too crowded with the already announced cast members. Adding more names could make these concerns worse. Interestingly, despite production being underway for Avengers: Doomsday, it seems some characters joining the cast may end up having interchangeable roles, depending on which actors secure their deals. This implies that some of these characters might not have significant parts, but rather fill in if necessary when certain actors aren’t signed before filming begins. This is a cause for concern since Avengers: Doomsday hasn’t finalized its script yet. If the script isn’t solid, all the exciting cast announcements might not translate well into the movie that will be released in theaters next summer.

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