Marvel Unveils Epic 'Avengers: Doomsday' Cast After 5½-Hour Blockbuster Announcement

-

For those who recall spending countless hours waiting on Facebook Live, observe a large chunk of ice thawing Just to unveil the release date of a new season of "Game of Thrones," today Marvel invested an excessively lengthy duration into drawing attention to the sequence of progressively more numerous chairs, solely so viewers could identify the ensemble cast for their forthcoming film "Avengers: Doomsday."

At least the "Game of Thrones" segment involved interaction as viewers were prompted to type in "FIRE" for the visuals to show melting effects.

Beginning at 8 AM PT today, Marvel launched a livestream where the company gradually revealed new information. VERY slowly - It meticulously tallied each star scheduled for the highly anticipated ensemble movie, gently tilting towards the right to uncover an additional recently placed chair lined up neatly. Just how expansive was this recording studio?

Viewers—and quite a number of them, with over 100,000 typically tuning in anytime on YouTube and accumulating more than 9 million views on X—endured wait times up to 15 minutes from when the camera last moved until unveiling another name. The constant flow of comments in the live chat accompanying the YouTube broadcast had an almost mesmerizing effect.

It turned out to be such a lengthy process that even Marvel's affiliate Hulu and its show "Only Murders in the Building" had time to sneak in a playful jab, with the series tweeting out almost an identical picture showing Renée Zellweger's name being added to the cast list Bridget Jones would be an excellent addition to the Avengers team.

If you're hoping for a glimpse of well-known attendees, tough luck. No celebrities made an appearance until the finale when Robert Downey Jr., previously revealed as set to return to the MCU portraying Doctor Doom, showed up. Intermittently, some tunes played in the background. Even those with just a passing interest in Marvel likely knew many of the names that were officially verified later on. (This summary might not include all surprise appearances though.)

The live stream went for a total of five and a half hours and ultimately unveiled 27 names. Let’s hope “Avengers: Doomsday” doesn’t match the duration of the live stream.

This followed Marvel and directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who are coming back to the MCU following their film "Avengers: Endgame" from 2019, staging a helluva announcement to unveil Downey’s comeback to the series. The unveiling at Comic-Con (shown above), where Downey appeared wearing green and tore off a mask, striking poses similar to those from the original "Iron Man" film, created quite a stir. immediately became iconic and ignited a wave of theories about the MCU's upcoming direction .

To be honest, those casting choices included several unexpected twists. Quite a number of original "X-Men" cast members turned out to be a pleasant surprise. four hours During the Livestream announcement, everyone was brought back, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Kelsey Grammer, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden. Noteworthy returns also featured Tenoch Huerta Mejía reprising his role as the antagonist Namor from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Simu Liu makes his comeback following the release of "Shang-Chi," along with Tom Hiddleston returning after appearing in "Loki."

What stood out even more were the absentees from those chair assignments. Missing were Tom Holland before "Spider-Man 4," as well as Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, and Anna Paquin—who were part of the original "X-Men" roster. Additionally, neither Ryan Reynolds nor Hugh Jackman appeared despite their initial entry into the MCU via last year’s “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Notably though, Channing Tatum featured in this movie where he played Gambit—a role he hadn’t gotten to do in earlier installments. As usual, none of them received official character tags alongside these roles; hence, perhaps there could still be exciting multiverse casting possibilities down the line.

Below is the complete list of names listed in the sequence they were introduced during the announcement. This should save you around five hours from watching the entire event: Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Robert Downey Jr. The presentation concluded with a short caption indicating that filming had commenced.

"Avengers: Doomsday" hits theaters on May 1, 2026, and until then, Marvel plans to release three additional films, namely "Thunderbolts*", "Fantastic Four: First Steps," and an unnamed project set for February 13, 2026. This will be succeeded by Sony’s “Spider-Man 4,” scheduled for July 31, 2026, along with another undisclosed Marvel film in November of the same year, ultimately leading up to "Avengers: Secret Wars" on May 7, 2027.

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
