RUMOR: Avengers: Doomsday's Cast Is Already Looking Pretty Big

Highlights

  • Avengers: Doomsday has a star-studded cast, including RDJ as Doctor Doom, setting up a new phase in the MCU.
  • Speculation swirls around the confirmed characters for the film, with familiar faces and new heroes joining the fray.
  • The franchise faces challenges with the rapid release of Avengers films, but fans can anticipate plenty of characters in the mix.

As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant world of Marvel and its Avengers series, I must say that the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” has me both excited and slightly apprehensive. The star-studded cast, including the return of RDJ as Doctor Doom, promises a fresh take on the franchise, setting up a new phase in the MCU that I eagerly anticipate.

The upcoming film titled “Avengers: Doomsday” has not yet reached its eagerly awaited premiere, but the lineup for the next major installment in the Avengers movie series appears to be impressively filled, hinting at the grand scale the Marvel Cinematic Universe intends to achieve with this project, as seen by fans.

As a dedicated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) enthusiast, I’ve been captivated since Iron Man’s groundbreaking solo debut in 2008 marked the beginning of this legendary franchise. Since Robert Downey Jr. first slipped into the Iron Man suit and kick-started one of history’s most prosperous cinematic ventures, the MCU has blossomed, weaving a grand narrative over two dozen projects. The conclusion of the Infinity saga sparked excitement for what’s to come, with fans already speculating about the Avengers lineup for “The Kang Dynasty” years in advance. However, unforeseen events involving Kang actor Jonathan Majors and a challenging 2023 at the box office have caused a slight shift in direction.

In this updated scenario, Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) is set to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), adopting a fresh character, while a seasoned Marvel scribe takes over writing duties for the revamped titles Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The Russo brothers are poised to steer the next significant phase in the MCU’s development. A recent update from The Direct offers an intriguing read, detailing all the confirmed characters appearing in the movie. This lineup includes RDJ as Doctor Doom, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson (the new Captain America), Joaquin Torres (played by Danny Ramirez, the new Falcon), Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova. Additionally, the main characters of the forthcoming MCU Fantastic Four film are also expected to make an appearance – Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.

The report also adds in Franklin Richards, who has not been confirmed for an MCU appearance, but is reportedly likely to also be involved in the Fantastic Four film. This first part of the report, which reiterates the fool’s errand that Avengers 5 could be on, considers and amalgamates statements given by Marvel Studios kingpin Kevin Feige at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, as well as information from the Cosmic Circus concerning the upcoming project to get what’s likely only s portion of the film’s final cast listing. The second end adds more names, though through more speculative means, most notably highlighting that Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange are likely to return. Additionally, Shang Chi was seemingly a lock for the film when it was still headlined by Kang, and the main characters of The Marvels were exceedingly likely to be involved before the film tanked in historic fashion.

Between now and the film’s release in 2026, there is ample time for casting announcements, yet it may not be enough to establish the franchise effectively. Some critics argue that Avengers: Secret Wars is arriving too swiftly after Avengers: Endgame, and its predecessor, Avengers: Doomsday, faces the possibility of premiering without the extensive buildup that Avengers: Infinity War enjoyed before breaking box office records. It remains unclear how the team behind the scenes plans to replicate the franchise’s previous triumph in such a short time, but fans can anticipate numerous characters entering the narrative as part of this endeavor.

Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026.
