Summary

  • Marvel Studios hints at more big names to be included in the Avengers: Doomsday cast.
  • Spider-Man’s participation in the film is highly anticipated due to his relationship with Iron Man.
  • Original Avengers like Hawkeye and Hulk may also return for the upcoming MCU tentpole.

As a dedicated cinephile and avid follower of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming blockbuster, Avengers: Doomsday. This highly anticipated film promises a star-studded ensemble, drawing from the rich tapestry of characters that have graced our screens over the years. Regrettably, there are several notable figures who will not be making an appearance in this latest installment.

Last week, Marvel Studios revealed the cast of the upcoming Avengers film titled Avengers: Doomsday. The roster includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Tenoch Huerta as Namor, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Letitia Wright as Black Panther, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Thing, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. However, the absence of Tom Holland (Spider-Man) from this list has left some fans puzzled. Additionally, there seems to be no mention of Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), and Chris Pratt (Star-Lord). This revelation has sparked curiosity among the audience about their roles in the upcoming film.

Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, acknowledges the feedback from fans and addressed their concerns at CinemaCon via video. He hinted that the roster wasn’t final, suggesting additional names may surface during filming, as ScreenRant reports him saying, “We unveiled several, not all.” This statement aligns with a previous teaser shared on social media. During the cast announcement, Downey Jr. jokingly asked on Instagram, “That must be it… right?” To which Marvel Studios playfully replied, “There’s always space for more.

Get Ready For Even More Big Names To Be Added To Avengers: Doomsday

Confirmed by Feige, an alliance of characters including the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, Wakandans, and original X-Men will join forces to take on Doctor Doom. The cast lineup includes Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, and James Marsden as Cyclops – all of whom starred in the original Fox’s X-Men films. Channing Tatum, who played Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, will reprise his role, alongside Lewis Pullman (Sentry), Danny Ramirez (Falcon), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki). It’s expected that Holland’s Spider-Man might also make an appearance, given Feige’s statement. Cumberbatch has previously hinted at being part of the next Avengers venture, though his name wasn’t mentioned. Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner could reprise their roles as Bruce Banner (Hulk) and Clint Barton (Hawkeye), respectively, since Feige mentioned the Avengers.

It’s great to learn that more stars have joined the cast of “Avengers: Doomsday,” beyond those announced by Marvel Studios. Characters like Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, are generating excitement, especially given his connection with Tony Stark/Iron Man. Since Robert Downey Jr. is reprising his role as Iron Man, albeit in a different character, this relationship could enhance the film’s emotional impact. The Russo brothers have hinted that Iron Man’s death and RDJ’s return are connected, and will significantly influence “Doomsday’s” plotline. There are whispers that Doctor Doom might exploit his similarity to Iron Man.

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but feel the emotional bond between Iron Man and Spider-Man that shines through in their stories. Having Tom Holland reprise his role as Spidey in “Doomsday” would be an inspired choice, adding depth to the narrative. Moreover, it’s high time for Hawkeye and Hulk to make a comeback in the next Avengers movie. However, Marvel Studios faces a significant challenge in ensuring that each character gets their due screen time, given the impressive roster they’ve assembled for one film.

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