Kevin Feige Confirms AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Cast Isn't Complete; Reveals New Story Details And Shooting Update

Marvel Studios didn't make a huge splash at CinemaCon today, but Kevin Feige was on hand - by video - to share a few Avengers: Doomsday breadcrumbs with exhibitors and press. 

After confirming that shooting begins in a few days, the studio executive and producer also said that the full cast hasn't been revealed yet. It's unclear when we'll learn who else will appear, but a recent report claimed several actors have yet to finalise their deals (on the plus side, Marvel Studios can now create a fresh round of hype with even more big names and surprises). 

Feige also announced that Avengers: Doomsday will revolve around the Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and original X-Men all fighting Doctor Doom. 

That was to be expected, but this still serves as confirmation. Whether it debunks theories about the Avengers and X-Men going to war before teaming up to face Doom or confirms them is up for debate.

There were many noteworthy names absent from the five-and-a-half hour cast reveal, including actors like Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Hailee Steinfeld, Charlie Cox, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman. 

Here's the confirmed Avengers: Doomsday cast list as things currently stand:

  • Chris Hemsworth - Thor
  • Vanessa Kirby - Invisible Woman
  • Anthony Mackie - Captain America
  • Sebastian Stan - Bucky
  • 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

Recently, Joe Russo addressed his and Anthony's approach to Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. As you might expect, they're setting out to top the stories they've already told in the MCU. 

"Absolutely, we want to beat those younger versions of ourselves," the filmmaker said. "We have to be, right? Because we have to outdo those movies in a way, or we at least have to take you on an equally engaging journey."

Anthony added, "These movies are an incredible opportunity for us, and they're an incredible opportunity for audiences. So we're doing what we can to deliver the experience everyone, I think, hopes for."

When it was later put to them that set photos like this one could spoil some of the biggest moments for fans, Joe replied, "We’re pretty good about shutting that down," before Anthony shared, "We've sort of strategized to hopefully be effective with that."

He also confirmed that "quite a bit" of Avengers: Doomsday is being shot on soundstages. "We don’t want people getting photographs, so we are being pretty stringent," he explained, with Anthony chiming in to say, "The location work we are doing, we have picked those locations with that in mind, as well."

The filmmakers also revealed that they're gearing up for "a standard-length shoot" with "six months for each of them" currently pencilled in.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027.

@Gabimaru - we won’t get awhile Soddy list, nor Epstein.
Why release that information, when it can be used as a black mailing card for future needs! The official operating system in intel agency’s and politicians.

Hopefully someone lower level leeks it, but I’m sure the media won’t cover it, until they turn into the next me to movement.

@China1975 - If there is a list it includes some of the most powerful people in the world. World leaders, captains of industry etc. They don't want you to see it (if it exists) and will suppress it at all costs. But they'll probably shout about it and say that other people (their political enemies) are on it. It's a much more useful tool unrevealed.

I just hope we finally get a Spider-Man and Wolverine live-action team up with this one or Secret Wars.

@ModHaterSLADE -
The rumors are we get Spider-man in Doomsday, but a mixture of stunt doubles and CGI because he'll be masked up the entire film due to hiding his identity after NWH. Tom Holland would voice act for Doomsday.

Secret Wars would then have the typical team-up and the inclusion of Miles Morales Spider-man to pay-off the No Way Home remark.

I'll see myself out.

@MakeAmericaGrea - sadly not, for obvious reasons.

I will always love Elliot and Kitty was a part of the Fox era and I always routed for her back in the day. I respect and support his brave move, and embracing who he really is.

Its a pitty we wont see Kitty Pryde with her blue/yellow costume next to all the other X-Men, but it is what it is. We'll see Kitty Pryde in the reboot, thats for sure, and likely in a big role with multiple movies, as she deserves.

KennKathleen

@Nonameforme - Because it is exhausting. Think about how Awesome it would've been to build the X-Men, starting from Infinity War pt 1?

As cool as it was to see five years transpired, it would've been awesome to see a mutant build up between the "snappening".

Would we as an audience be able to wait 5 years for the cliffhanger? Maybe not, but a long wait for greatness is better than a quick fix of 🐃💩... imo.

ObserverIO - 4/4/2025, 8:13 AM
@KennKathleen - If they reboot harder we can finally get all of that.
As good as the MCU was, fans knew it could have been better if they'd had all their characters together at the start.
Now they have the opportunity to start again.

@ObserverIO - I just looked it up:
"The acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. by The Walt Disney Company was announced on December 14, 2017, and was completed on March 20, 2019."

The chance to push the mutants were so close, yet so far away.

asherman93 - 4/3/2025, 8:47 PM
@SonOfAGif - Well, at the very least, Saldaña and Batista have said that they're done playing Drax and Gamora, so that explains two being absent.
For all we know, the rest of the cast might be coming back and Marvel might be keeping that under wraps for now.

@SonOfAGif - Secret Wars.

@SonOfAGif - A lot of MCU characters have been given good enough conclusions and the GOTG all got their own little Animal House style endings in GOTG V3. I think we'll see Star Lord again in Doomsday and I think we'll at least see Rocket and Groot etc in Secret Wars.

@MakeAmericaGrea - That’s very sad to hear. Condolences to his family, they must be devastated. But not sure why it’s relevant to bring up on this thread, or at all really, unless he was close to you, in which case I am very sorry.

Yeah, I seriously doubt they're topping Infinity War or Endgame. But hopefully, against all odds they manage to create 2 fantastic films that can stand on their own and inject some life back into the MCU. X-Men and Fantastic Four as additions alone adds a smorgasbord of storytelling opportunities. Keep Holland on deck as Spidey and give us a new T'Challa. Make Thor and Hulk badass again. If they can do all that, maybe the MCU is salvageable.
KennKathleen
KennKathleen - 4/3/2025, 9:59 PM
@LeonNova - I believe this will be corrected post Secret Wars.
CaptainAwkward
CaptainAwkward - 4/3/2025, 10:48 PM
@LeonNova - As expected expectations are high but for me I’m already sold due to the additional Xmen cast, RDJ as Doom and it being a two part special just like the previous two films. Phase one to three was utterly glorious, culminating with IW/EG at its pinnacle. I’m just grateful that these movies are getting made.

End of the day this is entertainment therefore I try to maximise my experience as much as possible. Reality is hard enough at times and these movies serve as escapism to stimulate my mood and imagination. I’m the only person who is not dissatisfied with the MCU or its state of affairs. I see an evolution in the comicbook/superhero genre that began at the turn of the century with Xmen and has now led to this. As a fan of the art and extensive media present, it’s a great time to be alive to witness these spectacles. Some good, some bad, some forgettable, some outstanding. Whatever the case, feed me more lol.

I think this method of marketing is lame. It's like people want to be spoiled before a movie.



I somehow avoided all of the cameos in Spiderman 3.

I didn't know about Beast in The Marvels and loved it.

I didn't know about Henry Cavill or Hunter B-15 from Loki in Deadpool v Wolverine.

Why do people want to know everything? Why even go see it?

Sheesh
