Marvel Legends Leak Sheds Some Light On Which Characters Will Be AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY's Leads

Toy leaks are typically pretty good for spoilers, and it seems Avengers: Doomsday will be no exception. A list of Marvel Legends figures due for release in 2026 has found its way online, and it seemingly reveals the movie's main characters. 

For context, the first wave of toys for a movie like this is typically spoiler-free. However, they also usually focus on a movie's leads, as those are the ones who typically sell to the masses. It's only later that we see the more obscure or secret heroes and villains take centre stage. 

Who will that be for Avengers: Doomsday? Well, the New Avengers aren't getting much love. The Fantastic Four are highlighted (we've already seen figures for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, likely meaning they'll get new costumes here), along with two X-Men: Cyclops and Gambit.

In terms of Avengers, we have Captain America, Thor, and Shang-Chi. Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom will, of course, get his own figure, and we're intrigued by the inclusion of H.E.R.B.I.E. with Mister Fantastic.

Clearly, the lovable robot and Franklin Richards' babysitter will be making the journey to Earth-616! Here's the full list:

  • Doctor Doom
  • Thor
  • Mister Fantastic w/ H.E.R.B.I.E.
  • Invisible Woman
  • Human Torch
  • The Thing
  • Cyclops
  • Gambit
  • Captain America
  • Shang Chi

With Avengers: Doomsday now pushed to December 2026, chances are we'll be waiting to see this merchandise longer than we otherwise would have. However, if production is already underway, don't be surprised if some pieces leak online in advance!

The Cavillrine getting a figure!? Hmmm... now that's interesting. It was a good gag. Wouldn't expect it to warrant a figure, though.

Shang chi is an avenger after the most middle of the road, uninspiring debut film for the character? , not to mention the fact the actor is insufferable.Ok 👍

@SteviesRightFoo - your small opinion

Many people are hoping and pining to see Shangi Chi again

@SteviesRightFoo - Yeah, he kind of sucks and Shang-Chi was ok at best.

@SteviesRightFoo - Anyone who didn't like Shang-Chi can shut their ugly face, that movie was fantastic. I can't wait to see him as a member of the Avengers

@SteviesRightFoo - the only real stand out in that mid film was the mandarin and he dead now.

@harryba11zack - it wasn't even really the Mandarin...again. OK movie, but very forgettable.

@Malatrova15 - I’d don’t click the link nor do I plan on clicking the link, but it’s the Lego set with the mandarin in some kind of bumper car with a flamethrower right?

So Chris Evans is coming back, it's desperate but it's a desperate positive for the film.

@HashTagSwagg - psst they mean Mackie. I keep making that same damn mistake every damn time. I see Captain America and I suddenly get excited.
Captain AMackie-ca is in the movie not the actual fr Captain America.

That list looks pretty accurate if we're to believe some of the more reliable scoopers. Solid A-Team with the New Avengers and others being the other story line. It's crazy how far they've come!

Channing Tatum as Gambit was horrendous

@McMurdo -

I completely agree. But there is a very vocal small contingent of people on this site that loved him in the role.

They are wrong.

@McMurdo - YES! YES HE [frick]ING WAS
McMurdo
McMurdo - 6/20/2025, 1:28 AM
@DocSpock - indeed. It was a complete disservice to the character and quite frankly, an embarrassment to any real Gambit fan.

@McMurdo -

These things are separate mostly movie fan from true comic book fans . I’ve been hooked on comics since my Dad started reading me Superman comics in 1961.

Cavillrine. Nice.

I think it's kinda funny how as more and more of the promo art and such for "FF:FS" is coming out it seems like Reed's beard is slowly growing in, like in the thumbnail image. Kind of makes me wonder if as we speak there are a team of VFX artists (or interns) frantically going through "FF:FS" frame by frame filling Pedro's beard in. They've still got a month or so, so by the time the movie comes out he could have the full beard from the comics. Or maybe they reveal that along with being able to stretch various parts of his body, he can also stretch his facial hair going from full beard to clean-shaven in an instant. That would be incredibly stupid but still kinda funny (remember in the OG F4 movie Reed did change his face to have a lantern jaw). :p

Nice to hear Cyclops get a lead role again, though I am disappointed by the lack of Disney+ show characters.

Who is 'Sabertooth' ?
When people will learn, he's Sabretooth.

Whether or not you liked the Shang-Chi movie, there is a narrative justification for his inclusion in Doomsday. Having established that they are "older than this universe", Shang-Chi's wrist bands can be woven into the incursion plot.That said, the less Awkafina, the better!

Kamala Kahn's bracelets are also artifacts from another universe (the dimension of Djinns, I think). So she and Shang-Chi possess potential MacGuffins to traverse universes.
