Marvel went with an elaborate way to announce — some of — the cast of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie that is releasing in May 2026. Over a five-hour live stream and series of social posts, Marvel went chair-by-chair to list the long list of actors joining the first Avengers movie since Endgame.

Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU with other confirmed actors including stars Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, 'X-Men' stars like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and a good chunk from the studio's 'Thunderbolts.

Doomsday via a lengthy livestream that confirmed a further 26 actors set to appear in the superhero movie as well as the start of production. Among the surprises, Channing Tatum will reprise his role as X-Men fan-favorite Gambit.
