The Avengers: Doomsday cast list has been formally revealed by Marvel Studios in advance of the film’s 2026 release. Kevin Feige, the chairman of Marvel Studios, said last summer that Avengers 5, formerly known as Avengers: Kang Dynasty, will take a different approach. Feige revealed a new MCU enemy in the form of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom following a lackluster reception to the villain Kang and the departure of Kang actor Jonathan Majors. After then, the title of Avengers 5 was changed to Avengers: Doomsday, but the precise cast of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes remained unknown. Marvel Studios announced the cast of Avengers: Doomsday and confirmed that the film is now in production over a live stream on websites including X (previously Twitter), YouTube, and Instagram today. Filming will continue for at least the next three months, with the release date scheduled for May 1, 2026. Below is the complete cast list for Avengers: Doomsday:

Characters from every stage of the MCU as well as stars from other series were included in the cast announcement for The Avengers: Doomsday. Given that the Multiverse Saga is the title of the latest three MCU phases, 4-6, this makes sense. Marvel has been experimenting with the universe in both film and television, and Doomsday and Secret Wars, the sixth Avengers film, will both wrap up that plot. Notably, the announcement featured a number of the stars of Marvel’s 2025 releases, including several characters from the forthcoming movies Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It’s unclear if it indicates they’ll have significant parts in Avengers: Doomsday or if Marvel is attempting to highlight the significance of these movies. Naturally, because Doctor Doom is primarily a foe for the Fantastic Four, it would make sense for them to play a significant role in Doomsday. It’s less clear why there are so many Thunderbolts* characters. Another noteworthy addition is Kelsey Grammer, who returned to the role of Beast, also known as Hank McCoy, from the Fox X-Men universe in The Marvels post-credits sequence, marking his MCU debut. This suggests that the X-Men world will play a significant role in Avengers: Doomsday, as does the amount of other returning original X-Men cast members. Channing Tatum’s character Gambit, who debuted in Deadpool & Wolverine last year, will get her first opportunity to co-star with prominent X-Men figures like Professor X and Magneto.
Since The Avengers, a crossover that brought the whole franchise together in 2012, Marvel’s Avengers films have always been major events. With a long and amazing cast list that includes members of the whole MCU and beyond, it is therefore not unexpected that Avengers: Doomsday is expected to be another huge event. How well any of these characters meshes with the rest of the Avengers: Doomsday ensemble is still up in the air. Some characters are wholly new to one another, but others have connections—in addition to the Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four, Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes have already collaborated extensively. For instance, since the Fantastic Four now live in different multiverse realms, it is uncertain how they would interact with Fox’s X-Men or the other Avengers characters. The true test will be how well Marvel manages to bring all these characters together. One reason why Avengers: Endgame was so successful is because it reduced the size of the ensemble from Avengers: Infinity War to a much smaller group that was given most of the film’s attention. With a cast as big as Doomsday’s seems to be, the MCU may be in for another Infinity War, with several stories that might be both beneficial and detrimental. The Avengers: Doomsday plot and how it ties the characters together will ultimately determine this.
