“Avengers: Doomsday” is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated upcomingMarvelmovies.

It feels like an X-Men reboot of a sort that we werent expecting.

Paul Rudd announced to return as Ant-Man

And we have a new casting announcement!

Robert Downey Jr. revealed as Doctor Doom for "Avengers: Doomsday"

Paul Rudd is revealed as the sixth cast member announced so far.

In fitting fashion, he’s given a much smaller set chair than his co-stars.

NEW CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Wyatt Russell to return as John Walker/US Agent

Another cast member revealed!

Honestly, a bit disappointed to see this announced.

What does this mean for the broader MCU?

Agent are both looking like they’ll make it through “Thunderbolts*” alive.

Ant-Man and The Wasp

It will be interesting to see what happens to Letitia Wright’s Shuri, though.

NEW CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Namor returns!

Tenoch Huerta Mejia has been officially announced to appear in “Avengers: Doomsday.”

Falcon and Winter Soldier John Walker

Namor is typically an antihero, and it seems unlikely he’d team up with Doom.

Now it seems he and castmate Vanessa Kirby are confirmed for at least one more Marvel movie.

Maybe Im just in denial, but Im holding out hope for at least a small cameo.

Chris Hemsworth in Thor: The Dark World

Or better yet, Olsens name being revealed last in the live announcement.

Now that would break the internet.

NEW CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Simu Liu returns as Shang-Chi

Another member of the Avengers revealed!

Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Personally, I’m glad he’s back.

It’s been a notable absence from the MCU.

It was a notable leak in large part because it seemingly came from a Marvel artist.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, and Joseph Quinn in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”

“Nothing spoiling in there.

Thats not our concept art.”

Anthony told the industry outlet.

Wandavision episode 9 recap: Scarlet Witch

Marvel spoiling its own films is an … interesting choice.

Will She-Hulk return for ‘Doomsday’?

But a recent rumor indicates that this could all be according to plan for Marvel.

Simu Liu stars in Shang Chi

Admittedly, this isn’t Grammer’s first rodeo in the MCU.

Still, I’d be lying if I said I was expecting his name to appear today.

He’ll be reprising his role as Sentry, an ultra powerful figure from Marvel comics lore.

Marvel’s “Avengers: Doomsday” announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Who is currently left to reveal for ‘Avengers: Doomsday?’

Only Pedro Pascal remains to be announced from the Fantastic Four superhero team.

He first appeared in “Black Widow.”

Florence Pugh as Yelena in Hawkeye

Ghost first appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp and is expected to be in the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie.

NEW CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Tom Hiddleston as Loki

Tom Hiddleston is still in the MCU as Loki.

He first appeared as Loki Laufeyson in the first “Thor” movie released in 2011.

Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk / Bruce Banner and Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer “Jen” Walters/She-Hulk in Marvel Studios' She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

He last played Professor X in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”

Like Stewart, he debuted as Magneto in the “X-Men” movie from 2000.

This isn’t the X-Men reboot we were suspecting but it is interesting to see.

“X-Men: The Last Stand”

Is ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ an ‘X-Men’ reboot?

So far, we have quite a few factions within Marvel filling the “Avengers: Doomsday” roster.

But the most interesting has to be the return of the early 2000s “X-Men” cast.

Who will be next?

Surely … not Hugh Jackman?

James Marsden is officially returning to Marvel and joining the MCU as Cyclops.

Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer

Now, we wait for the Ryan Reynolds announcement.

And we’ve finally gotten a casting announcement we’ve been waiting for the entire time.

Who is still left to announce?

Danny Ramirez in “Captain America: Brave New World”

With 26 cast members already announced, it’s fair to wonder who is still left to be revealed.

Or, more accurately, the full cast that Marvel is willing to reveal.

Stay tuned for our next post on who didn’t make the cut.

Who is missing?

A number of actors weren’t shown in the interminable chair teaser.

So, who else could pop up?

David Harbour in “Black Widow”

Doom, the long standing Fantastic Four antagonist.

Chris Evans has been tipped to return as well, though perhaps not as Captain America.

Stephen McFeely is the stated writer of Doomsday.

Winston Duke as M’Baku in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Though he has also written Thor: The Dark World and recent Russo brothers flopThe Electric State.

While Doomsday should start filming this spring, it won’t release until May 1, 2026.

We’vekept track of everything Marvelin the pipeline.

Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost in Thunderbolts*

Here’s what you might expect to see between now and the release of “Avengers: Doomsday.”

Of course, it’s unclear if Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool will ever make the main MCU timeline.

He might no fit, but Hugh Jackman’s Logan/Wolverine would.

Tom Hiddleston as Loki in Avengers: Infinity War

Mostly, what I’m saying is I’d like more X-Men hey.

There will be more actors in this.

End of the road for Deadpool?

Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard season 3 episode 5, “Imposters”

“His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated.

But he cant be accepted.

His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies.

If and when he does become an Avenger or X-Man, were at the end of his journey.”

Could Captain Marvel return?
