Marvel Unveils ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Cast as Production Begins on MCU Sequel

Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Doomsday” has started production.

And to honor the super-heroic moment, Marvel Studios is hosting a livestream of … chairs. Now, mind you, they are director-type chairs with the name of the actors on the back.

The camera is moving down the list of said chairs – so far, they have revealed Chris Hemsworth, returning as Thor; Vanessa Kirby, who plays Sue Storm in the upcoming “Fantastic Four: First Steps” (in theaters this summer); Anthony Mackie, the current Captain America (his “Captain America: Brave New World” opened earlier this year); Letitia Wright (the new Black Panther); recent Oscar nominee Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier (he’ll star in bad guy team-up movie “Thunderbolts” in May); Paul Rudd, who plays Ant-Man in multiple films; and Wyatt Russell, who will reprise his “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” role of John Walker in “Thunderbolts.”

Watch the chair reveal, below.

How long will this livestream go on? And what will be left of us by the time it’s over? Only one way to find out – hang in there and watch the chairs!

“Avengers: Doomsday” sees the return of some Marvel Studios titans – it will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who helmed “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” two of the most popular movies of all time. It will also reunite them with Robert Downey Jr., who instead of playing Tony Stark/Iron Man, will be filling the role of Victor von Doom aka Doctor Doom. (“Doomsday,” get it?) Stephen McFeely, another Russo Brothers regular and co-screenwriter of their “Avengers” movies, will also return to the project.

Plus, Marvel has already announced the sequel to “Avengers: Doomsday,” which will again be helmed by the Russos and feature Downey, entitled “Avengers: Secret Wars.” That movie will be out a year after “Doomsday.”

“Avengers: Doomsday” hits theaters on May 1, 2026, while “Avengers: Secret Wars” will arrive on May 7, 2027.
