Marvel Studios has officially announced the ensemble cast for the upcoming film 'Avengers: Doomsday,' slated for release in May 2026. The lineup features returning favorites such as Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Notably, the film integrates characters from the X-Men franchise, with Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor X and Ian McKellen as Magneto.
The Fantastic Four also make their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Vanessa Kirby portraying Sue Storm and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards. In a surprising twist, Robert Downey Jr. returns, this time embodying the villainous Doctor Doom. However, the absence of key characters such as Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man has sparked discussions among fans. Directed by the Russo brothers, 'Avengers: Doomsday' aims to recapture the monumental success of its predecessors.
