To say that Marvel Studios’ big Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement broadcast was a bit ridiculous is perhaps a bit of an understatement. It has taken over five hours, but the production company has finally confirmed the main, big players that will be a part of their next ensemble effort. There are a few surprises, a few missing disappointments, and likewise several that seem to make the upcoming Thunderbolts* a little less exciting, but with 27 individual heroes and villains to check out, to say the cast is anything less than star-studded would be a lie.
So, with Avengers: Doomsday now in production, who for an absolute fact will be starring in the film? The folk below:
- Chris Hemsworth as Thor Odinson
- Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm
- Anthony Mackie as Captain America/Sam Wilson
- Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes
- Letitia Wright as Black Panther
- Paul Rudd as Ant-Man
- Wyatt Russell as US Agent
- Tenoch Huerta Meija as Namor
- Ebon-Moss Bachrach as The Thing
- Simu Liu as Shang-Chi
- Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova
- Kelsey Grammer as Beast
- Lewis Pullman as Sentry
- Danny Ramirez as Falcon
- Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm
- David Harbour as Red Guardian
- Winston Duke as M’Baku
- Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost
- Tom Hiddleston as Loki
- Patrick Stewart as Professor X
- Ian McKellen as Magneto
- Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler
- Rebecca Romijn as Mystique
- James Marsden as Cyclops
- Channing Tatum as Gambit
- Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards
- Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom
As this is Marvel we are talking about, a few additional surprises wouldn’t be a shock. But even though we do expect something on this front, does it surprise you already that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool, Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, and other current and recent characters and stars aren’t being included?
Avengers: Doomsday opens in cinemas on May 1, 2026.
