Upcoming Comic Convention Appearance Leads To Speculation About Brie Larson's AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Role

Captain Marvel star Brie Larson wasn't announced as being part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast back in March, but an upcoming convention appearance has fans convinced she's gearing up for an MCU return.

As exciting as it was to see Marvel Studios reveal the cast of Avengers: Doomsday at the end of March, even more intriguing for fans was who didn't get a mention. 

There was no Hugh Jackman, Tom Holland, Ryan Reynolds, or Elizabeth Olsen (to name just a handful of absentees), prompting speculation about whether they're being kept under wraps or perhaps saved for Avengers: Secret Wars

Comic Con Liverpool has announced that Captain Marvel star Brie Larson is the headline guest at its November show, leaving many to wonder whether the Oscar-winner will be in the UK at the time to shoot Avengers: Doomsday

Adding further fuel to the fire is the fact that pretty much the entire Ahsoka cast attended last weekend's Comic Con Liverpool event, and they're all currently in the UK working on season 2. 

While it may be a coincidence, it does seem likely that Larson will be based in the UK for something Captain Marvel-related. Remember, Russo Brothers have said each movie should take roughly six months to shoot, meaning it's also possible the Lessons in Chemistry star will be gearing up for Secret Wars by November. 

"I think there is still so much inside of Carol," Larson said of the character's MCU future during The Marvels' press tour. "I feel like getting to be on this team just cracked her open in a way that she hadn't been and I really loved that for her."

"I don't want Marvel to come for me," she added, "but there is something. There is definitely something, to answer your question, that I would want to say, but I am not going to so."

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

A rumour also came out yesterday evening claiming that Avengers: Doomsday will also feature Mark Ruffalo, Benedict Wong, Brie Larson, Don Cheadle, Karen Gillan, Jeremy Renner, Iman Vellani, Danai Gurira, Tessa Thompson, Ke Huy Quan, Teyonah Parris, Will Poulter, Dominique Thorne, Xochitl Gomez, Sophia Di Martino, Tatiana Maslany, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Kathryn Newton, Wunmi Mosaku, Lashana Lynch, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Kai Zen, Owen Wilson, Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Charlize Theron, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hayley Atwell, Chris Evans, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, and Maria Bakalova.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on May 1 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on May 7, 2027.

@AllsNotGood - I thought both Captain Marvel movies were great. Disney Plus Ms. Marvel show was very good has a 98% Rotten Tomatoes Score.

Captain Marvel (2019) was a Major Box Office Hit.

Domestic = $426,829,839

International = $704,586,607

Worldwide = $1,131,416,446

Tbh they tried to make her likable with The Marvels but it didn’t work.

At this point stop trying to make her one of the faves of MCU and have her as a supporting character like she was in Endgame.

The MCU’s most popular female characters right now are The Scarlet Witch and Yelena. Agatha too maybe.
So Yelena should be front and center.

And Wanda should get a big comeback like Thor in Infinity War.

@Pampero - Rogue putting Captain Marvel in a coma. It's only been due 25 years.

Her shooting for Doomsday or likely Secret Wars at that time could be a possibility…

I thought she was going to able to attend that event because she’s been doing a play in London but I think that closed its run a few weeks or so ago so unless they are doing an encore later in the year then I think her being there for Avengers is highly likely given she has no announced movie or tv projects right now that are gearing to shoot.

Anyway , she hasn’t had the smoothest of runs but I have enjoyed Brie’s Carol so far so would be nice to see more of her sooner then later!!.

@RolandD - it would be weird if she didn’t and same with Teyonah Parris & Lashana Lynch as Maria & Monica Rambeau

They both are in the same universe with the X-Men I assume we’ll see in Doomsday

I don’t get the hate for someone who has an opinion. I mean everyone here has one and I don’t necessary agree with them all but I’m certainly not going to go on a hate rant over them
