Avengers Doomsday: Full Cast Revealed, OG X-Men Return to Battle Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom
March 27, 2025: Marvel Studios has officially revealed the full cast for Avengers: Doomsday, the highly anticipated fifth installment in the Avengers saga, set to hit theatres in May 2026. The announcement was made in an unconventional and creative way—via an Instagram Live stream showing production chairs revealing names across several hours.
This marks the first Avengers film since the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame (2019), and the studio is pulling out all the stops, blending the old guard with new faces in what could be Marvel’s most ambitious crossover yet.

Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a cinematic event, blending nostalgia, fresh energy, and shocking turns. With a star-studded ensemble, this 2026 release could redefine the MCU’s future—just as Endgame redefined its past.
