Avengers: Doomsday Cast Unveiled In Marvel Live Stream

News just in: the Avengers: Doomsday cast is being unveiled. Well, we say ‘just in’. There is breaking news underway, confirming who will be starring in the long-awaited upcoming Avengers movie, which has officially begun production. It’s just, that news is arriving very slowly, via a live-stream that’s drip-feeding new cast members one by one. A video live-streaming on Marvel’s YouTube and social media channels is revealing fold-out cast chairs with the sprawling list of names set to appear in the Russo Brothers’ long-awaited return to the MCU.

This is officially, then, a ‘developing story’. But we have several names so far: Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, and Danny Ramirez.

That means Thor, Sue Storm, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Shuri, Scott Lang, John Walker, Namor, Ben Grimm, Shang-Chi, Yelena Belova, Hank McCoy (aka Beast), possibly-but-not-definitely Sentry, and Joaquin ‘The Falcon’ Torres are all set to appear in the next major Marvel team-up. Intriguingly, this indicates several survivors from the upcoming Thunderbolts*. Plus, you’ll expect more of the Fantastic Four to be named here. And we’re finally going to be reunited with Shang-Chi for the first time in yonks (in live-action at least). Phew.

Stay tuned for more names (or, nam-ors) joining that list as the live stream continues. And expect ‘Robert Downey Jr.’ to appear on a chair before the stream is through, since he’s already confirmed to be returning to the MCU – this time as Doom himself. Avengers: Doomsday is being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by returning writer Stephen McFeely, teaming up with Michael Waldron, who was a lead on Loki and and penned Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. Let the re-assembling begin.
