Marvel is apparently in the process of announcing the cast for the fifth Avengers film.
Marvel Entertainment, one of Marvel’s official YouTube accounts, made a mysterious announcement during a live video and revealed the cast for Avengers: Doomsday.
The fifth installment in the Avengers series, set to release on April 29, 2026, has been generating plenty of buzz for about a year now. It was announced that Robert Downey Jr. will portray the Fantastic Four’s arch-nemesis Doctor Doom, following the death of his alter ego Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame.
Now, the rest of the film’s cast has also been officially revealed – in a rather unusual way.
On the Marvel Entertainment channel, fans and viewers can watch live as a new chair is placed in a row every 15 minutes, each labeled with the name of an MCU actor or actress.
The following names have been revealed in this manner:
- Chris Hemsworth / Thor
- Vanessa Kirby / Sue Storm
- Anthony Mackie / Captain America
- Sebastian Stan / Bucky Barnes
- Letitia Wright - Black Panther
- Paul Rudd - Ant-Man
- Wyatt Russell - U.S. Agent
- Tenoch Huerta Mejia - Namor
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach - The Thing
- Simu Liu - Shang-Chi
- Florence Pugh - Yelena Belova
- Kelsey Grammer - Beast
- Lewis Pullman - The Sentry
- Danny Ramirez - The Falcon
- Joseph Quinn - Human Torch
- David Harbour - Red Guardian
- Winston Duke - M'Baku
- Hannah John-Kamen - Ghost
- Tom Hiddleston - Loki
- Patrick Stewart - Professor X
- Ian McKellen - Magneto
- Alan Cumming - Nightcrawler
- Rebecca Romijn - Mystique
- James Marsden - Cyclops
- Channing Tatum - Gambit
- Pedro Pascal - Mister Fantastic
- Robert Downey Jr. - Doctor Doom
It’s also clear that by the fifth Avengers movie at the latest, the X-Men will officially make their debut in the MCU, after previously only appearing in post-credit scenes like at the end of The Marvels or in the third Deadpool film.
However, it’s still unclear whether all characters will be involved in Doomsday against Doctor Doom, as names like Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel or Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye are still missing. Only time will tell what the future holds for these heroes.
