News just in: the Avengers: Doomsday cast is being unveiled. Well, we say ‘just in’. There is breaking news underway, confirming who will be starring in the long-awaited upcoming Avengers movie, which has officially begun production. It’s just, that news is arriving very slowly, via a live-stream that’s drip-feeding recent cast members one by one. A video live-streaming on Marvel’s YouTube and social media channels is revealing fold-out cast chairs with the sprawling list of names set to appear in the Russo Brothers’ long-awaited return to the MCU.
This is officially, then, a ‘developing story’. But we have several names so far: Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden.
That means Thor, Sue Storm, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Shuri, Scott Lang, John Walker, Namor, Ben Grimm, Shang-Chi, Yelena Belova, Hank McCoy (aka Beast), possibly-but-not-definitely Sentry, Joaquin ‘The Falcon’ Torres, Johnny ‘The Human Torch’ Storm, Red Guardian, M’Baku, Ghost, Loki, Professor X, Magneto, Nightcrawler, OG Mystique, and OG Cyclops are all set to appear in the next major Marvel team-up. Intriguingly, this indicates several survivors from the upcoming Thunderbolts*. Plus, you’ll expect more of the Fantastic Four to be named here. And we’re finally going to be reunited with Shang-Chi for the first time in yonks (in live-action at least). Phew.
Stay tuned for more names (or, nam-ors) joining that list as the live stream continues. And expect ‘Robert Downey Jr.’ to appear on a chair before the stream is through, since he’s already confirmed to be returning to the MCU – this time as Doom himself. Avengers: Doomsday is being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by returning writer Stephen McFeely, teaming up with Michael Waldron, who was a lead on Loki and and penned Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. Let the re-assembling begin.
