It’s been almost six years since Avengers: Endgame capped off the Infinity Saga and became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. Since then, Marvel has struggled to achieve the same level of critical and commercial success, but with Avengers: Doomsday debuting in 2026, the studio has to start tying all of its disparate storylines together.
We already know that Avengers: Doomsday will star Robert Downey Jr. as the legendary villain Doctor Doom, but the rest of the cast is a mystery. At least, it was until Marvel Studios hosted a live stream on Wednesday unveiling the full cast.
The stream started on Wednesday morning, showing a director’s chair with Chris Hemsworth’s name on the back. Every few minutes, the camera slowly pans to another chair, showing a new member of the Avengers: Doomsday cast. We’ve listed all of the names that have been shared so far below, and we’ll continue to add to it as the day goes on:
- Chris Hemsworth as Thor
- Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm / Invisible Woman
- Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Captain America
- Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier
- Letitia Wright as Shuri / Black Panther
- Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man
- Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent
- Tenoch Huerta Mejia as Namor
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm / The Thing
- Simu Liu as Shang-Chi
- Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova
- Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Hank McCoy / Beast
- Lewis Pullman as Bob Reynolds / Sentry
- Danny Ramirez as Joaquín Torres / Falcon
- Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch
- David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian
- Winston Duke as M’Baku
- Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost
- Tom Hiddleston as Loki
- Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier / Professor X
- Ian McKellen as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto
- Alan Cumming as Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler
- Rebecca Romijn as Raven Darkholme / Mystique
- James Marsden as Scott Summers / Cyclops
- Channing Tatum as Remy LeBeau / Gambit
- Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic
- Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom
While there was little doubt that virtually every Marvel character would appear in this crossover event, there have been a few surprises on the list. For instance, Kelsey Grammer’s Beast made his MCU debut in the post-credits scene of The Marvels after Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) slipped into his universe. This all but guarantees that the original Fox X-Men universe will collide with the MCU’s reality at some point in Doomsday.
Avengers: Doomsday, written by Stephen McFeely and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, is currently in production. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
