Current MCU characters based on how likely I think they are to be in Doomsday

Umm... how are Daredevil and the Watcher "practically confirmed"?
PayneTrain1819992025-10-27 20:59
“Trust me bro.”
Jaideco2025-10-27 21:02
I was about to ask the same question, Yet White Vision is nowhere to be found?
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:07
Daredevil is far too iconic of a character to be left out of a big event like this
As for the Watcher, come on now, this is a movie all about the multiverse, and the Watcher has been our guide to the multiverse for the past 5 years, you don't just cast Jeffrey Wright as a character and then never have him appear in live action, especially when it would make perfect sense for him to do so
jesusholdmybeer2025-10-27 21:08
So it is a "trust me bro" I made it up
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:09
It's looking at what has been set up throughout the saga as a whole and going with what is likely
jesusholdmybeer2025-10-27 21:10
So..... "trust me bro" 🤣
Arthur-Morgan-4202025-10-27 22:05
Stfu bro he’s just having fun and speculating, he’s not saying it’s confirmed he just believes it’s very possible
jesusholdmybeer2025-10-27 22:07
Probably shouldnt have a 'No Shot' category then bro
And no, you can stfu loser.
JyconX2025-10-27 21:18
Don't get me wrong. I DO want the Watcher to appear in live-action. But I don't see there being enough "practical confirmation" just yet.
mrbaryonyx2025-10-28 01:14
They have left him out of plenty already (and tbh he gets left out of a lot of big events in the comics too; he's def an iconic character, but he's also the definition of street level).
More practically, Marvel's just super weird about the Netflix-originating characters appearing in projects. I don't think it's a coincidence that when Matt and Punisher show up in movies its Spidey movies---that technically involves them signing a contract with Sony. It just seems like there's some weird clause in the existing contract that keeps them out of the Disney movies.
vagabond_dilldo2025-10-27 20:46
Too bad. I kinda wanted to see more of GotG and Eternals.
One-Complex-92672025-10-27 20:46
Wow!! No guardian? I don’t like you.
Forsaken-Trade-80822025-10-27 20:47
Also I think star lord will prob be in it because at the end of the last movie it said star lord will return
Yarius5152025-10-27 21:07
And he's literally on Earth rn
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:07
That'll probably be in his own show
BenSolo_Cup2025-10-27 21:16
What a random thing to assume. There’s been no talks of a show. Also, Star lord was in the leaked concept art for doomsday. He’s in it 100%
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:23
I haven't seen the leaked concept art because I don't want to potentially spoil myself
I'm pretty sure he'll get his own show because a clear plot has been set up of Peter getting reaccustomed to life on Earth, but I just don't think he can carry his own movie, maybe as part of that Nova project that's in the works but I think that's unlikely too
BenSolo_Cup2025-10-27 21:58
I mean I’d love a star lord show if it happened but idk, I do think making him play a part in Nova is a great idea tho
metalmankam2025-10-27 21:35
That concept art wasn't for doomsday it was for Champions. It's looking like he and Vision might help bring together the young avengers team. I don't think he'll be in doomsday but in Champions we'll see what he was up to
BenSolo_Cup2025-10-27 21:59
Interesting, I’ve never heard about this but it sounds cool if true
BatmanForever232025-10-27 21:22
If that were going to happen, there would’ve been at least whispers by now.
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:25
Fair enough I suppose, I guess I'd move him up to I can see it then
jackson501112025-10-27 21:33
If we are also going by the story they are adapting, fairly certain starlord had a role in Secret Wars (2015)

Apart_Neck_51292025-10-28 08:24
like who?
Zeratul_The_Emperor2025-10-28 13:30
Starfox, Black Knight, Moon Knight, Clea, Zeus and Hercules, Hulks son, Mordo, Scorpion, just to name a few
No_Imagination_24902025-10-28 09:03
He's more likely to make an appearnce than some of those who are 'practically confirmed' imo
ubutterscotchpine2025-10-27 20:51
I agree with this mostly, except if Kamala is likely going to be there, there’s no reason Kate wouldn’t be with her since the last we saw they were making a team. Kamala and America pretty much guarantee Kate, I feel.
PayneTrain1819992025-10-27 21:00
I think they associated Kamala with Monica being in the X-Men universe, and thus her and Carol will probably show up.
But yeah, Kamala would also likely mean Kate and the other Young Avengers/Champions.
ubutterscotchpine2025-10-27 21:11
That’s a fair theory.
Honestly regarding the YA/Champions, I’m really hoping they just throw Kamala and Kate on the real Avengers team, do Strange Academy with America, and keep Billy and Tommy in the Wanda saga.
PayneTrain1819992025-10-27 21:14
Kamala and Kate on either the main Avengers team or joining forces with the New Avengers would be my ideal scenario.
ubutterscotchpine2025-10-27 21:22
Yeah, my theory is that by the end of Doom we’ll likely have one complete team with a combo of players from each. But if one single team doesn’t come out of it, I’d definitely take them on either.
SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 21:51
West Coast Avengers and a B Team, perhaps?
Main team: Hawkeye, Ant-Man, War Machine, Captain Marvel, The Vision and the Scarlet Witch.
B Team of their Mini-Me when the elders aren't available: Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, Ironheart, Miss Marvel, Speed and Wiccan, respectively.
Though it still seems like the B Team is getting named Champions. There's even a director allegedly attached to the project, Rachna Fruchbom.
America Chavez definitely belongs more to a Strange Academy project, or making an appearance as a minor character in Midnight Suns, or any Strange-adjacent project. She's fine as a side character in Strange's entourage, imo.
ubutterscotchpine2025-10-27 22:14
100% think there’s going to be the main team and a B-team (hopefully!). But I do feel like Hawkeye and Ant-Man are done imo. I know what Jeremy Renner has said, but Clint’s story felt finished with the show. There’s a new Black Widow and it’s time for a new Hawkeye to take over too. I also don’t see Vision or Scarlet Witch going anywhere with Avengers.
Ideally I’d like to see a main team mirroring the OG Avengers in some way; a Black Widow (Yelena), Captain America (Sam), Hawkeye (Kate), Shang-Chi (Strange), Shuri (Black Panther), undecided on Iron Man or Hulk’s counterpart.
SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-27 23:34
West Coast Avengers is a separate team from the regular Avengers who are based in New York. They were founded by Hawkeye, in the comics.
I was talking about them, not Sam's team. I expect whoever is in it in Doomsday to remain the main Avengers roster for the years to come.
ubutterscotchpine2025-10-27 23:49
My comment was about a B-team. I disagree that there will be two Avengers teams that come out of Doom. They’re going to be getting rid of/ending some stories.
Single-Pianist-22112025-10-27 20:57
The only people in “practically confirmed” that will be in it are probably Herbie, Monica in a small part, America in a small part, and maybe a Dr. Strange cameo at the very end or mid-credits appearance.
Nobody below that tier will be in it except maybe Cassie Lang and Okoye in small parts. I would’ve put Valkyrie in “maybe a small part” too but Chris H said there’s no filming in New Asgard so that’s probably a no.
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:31
Bennedict Cumberbatch, already said he was gonna begin filming for doomsday last year, next year and already teased he was in the movie this year, so yeah i'd say he is “practically confirmed”
Single-Pianist-22112025-10-28 04:40
He first said upfront that he wasn’t in doomsday, then when pressed about it said something along the lines of “maybe I am maybe I’m not.” Like I said I do think he’s in it but a cameo at the end.
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:45
He said "Who knows?... Maybe they just didn’t have enough chairs" i'd say that's heavily implying he is in the movie......
Single-Pianist-22112025-10-28 04:51
Or maybe he’s joking
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:54
i just think we have enough to say he is “practically confirmed”
Single-Pianist-22112025-10-28 04:55
No, he’s a maybe
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:57
he is not on the same level as "maybe" as the other actors.....
deemoorah2025-10-28 08:02
People only want to acknowledge his statement in January when they talk about his hypothetical appearance in doomsday but he months before that, in June/July 2024 he spoke about his plan to film the next avengers movie and he repeated that again during Tokyo comic con in December 2024
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:43
i'd admit the questionable ones are ms marvel, spider-man, wong, kang, the watcher, i guess america chavez and daredevil, with the rest being teased in some way
Nonadventures2025-10-27 20:58
Lincoln6242025-10-27 21:05
Pretty ballsy to have a “no chance” tier.
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:08
This movie is going to be absolutely huge, there's just no chance they're gonna cram in the Defenders (besides obviously Daredevil), the old Guardians, Echo, Valkyrie or Black Knight without it being poorly written
Lincoln6242025-10-27 21:17
If I believed this order and these groupings, I would have called the tier “doubt it” instead of “no shot”.
Because the first person in your no shot tier is Peter Quill, a guy who’s on Earth and who’s post credit chyron said he’ll return. I’m just saying I wouldn’t have a “no shot” tier.
Maximus3612025-10-27 21:09
How about just being patient and wait for the movie to come out?🤷 Speculation is pointless.
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:12
But it's fun to speculate
Maximus3612025-10-27 22:17
Ok, if that’s how you feel. I consider it a waste of time and mental energy, that I’d rather use elsewhere.
Few-Pineapple-15422025-10-27 21:19
Brother why are you on the marvel studios subreddit if you don’t like speculating about future projects
Maximus3612025-10-27 22:21
I like Marvel in general based on what’s already been made, not what might happen. Discussing, debating, speculating over what they might do is pointless to me. Nothing I say or think will change what the next movie will contain, so I simply wait for it to come out and then go see it.
blondemf2025-10-27 21:10
This list has gotta be rage bait
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:11
In what way?
blondemf2025-10-27 21:19
Well because for one, nobody is “practically confirmed”. The only one I’d give you on that would be Monica due to the ending of the Marvels. Everyone else is just pure speculation. I also think it’s crazy how some characters who don’t make sense to be in the movie are wayyy higher than others that would make sense. For example, the other Spider-Men being in the movie has no basis in reality. The only roles I could see them potentially having would be in Battleworld during Secret Wars. However, other characters like Rhodey, Star-Lord, Punisher, etc, are confirmed to be reprising their roles in at least one upcoming project. The whole list just feels very all over the place and more like a personal wish-list than true speculation based on the story.
CT-10302025-10-27 21:14
How in world is Daredevil more likely than Star Lord?
ShadesOfTheDead2025-10-27 21:19
Yeah… Star Lord was in concept art.
BenSolo_Cup2025-10-27 21:16
Star lord in “no shot”??? Bro he might as well be in practically confirmed are you kidding. Also daredevil is very unlikely I think.
BenSolo_Cup2025-10-27 21:18
Swap daredevil and star lord and it’s not a bad list
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:22
Holy crap it's the guy who makes the awesome posters
But why do so many people think Daredevil's not likely?
bjwills72025-10-27 21:49
Well the actor stated he wasn't in it, I get it could be an andrew garfield situation where he's lying to keep it a surprise. Still though that puts him in maybe at best, basically confirmed is a bit hopeful.
BenSolo_Cup2025-10-27 21:57
Haha thanks 😆 but Charlie has seemed pretty honest about his lack of involvement and I believe him, besides the daredevil corner of MCU is kinda its own thing I’m not sure how he could play a part in doomsday with everything else going on in that movie. Secret wars tho? We will see
Nendilo2025-10-27 21:18
Wanda is practically confirmed from leaks. Multiple versions, her original one plus one that works for Doom. Also, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson as evil variants.
ArmadilloOk14452025-10-27 21:24
Leaks can't be trusted most of the time

AAC08132025-10-27 21:58
Isn’t Tatiana pretty much confirmed to have severed ties with Disney?
SeekerVash2025-10-28 00:00
No, but she did go Scorched Earth over Kimmel and further work with Disney is unlikely. Further work period is a pretty open ended question given what she did.
SeekerVash2025-10-28 00:02
Most of your "practically confirmed" tier is almost certainly not in it. Wolverine and Wong are the only two with any chance.
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:35
Deadpool?.....
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 04:35
Doctor Strange?....
SeekerVash2025-10-28 12:24
Not going to be in Doomsday. An R rated character whose entire appeal is based on it being R rated doesn't work in PG13.
Plus the character is entirely based on comedy, which doesn't work in a dramatic narrative.
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 18:27
Did you forget that even in infinity war which was very dramatic, that it had comedic lines? Also not to mention we have gambit in doomsday, also deadpool could work in a pg-13 setting if done right, and you're implying he won't be in secret wars either.....
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 18:28
Once upon a deadpool proved that if deadpool is aware being in a pg-13 setting, it would work very well
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 18:39
If they refuse to have deadpool in neither movies despite being a very profitable character and only movie in phase 5 to reach 1 billion, only because he's an r rated character would be the stupidest decision on their end
SeekerVash2025-10-28 18:51
Um...once upon a Deadpool made 51m world wide and only 6m in the US. It proved it would not work at all.
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 19:34
Thats because its just a pg-13 re-release of deadpool 2?....
HenryOnYt12025-10-28 19:38
My point is, no way in hell marvel would refuse to have deadpool in either avengers movie, and if they could have gambit in the movie, i don't see why they wouldnt have deadpool.....
whitepangolin2025-10-28 00:03
The most surprising thing about this r/MarvelStudios post is that Daisy Johnson from Agents of Shield isn't there under "practically confirmed"
zlmb5_2025-10-28 12:27
that's such a weird ranking, you think daredevil has a better chance in appearing more than Valkyrie, sylvie, she hulk and Wanda and hulk ?
like be fr, the only partially confirmed characters are like doctor strange, captain marvel, and monica and maria rambeau(which you didn't include)
i wouldn't even say that spiderman is partially confirmed, and also captain carter (at the least the main what if one) and supreme strange > ! Are dead ! < , but piggy herself might appear, and also where is steve?
but me personally? i don't expect the eternals nor guardians the to appear, except for star lord , he was a survivor of the life raft in the secret wars comic so i would expect the same fate in the mcu, and he is also on earth? so it would kinda make seance to include him seance him and sam probably know each other
marvelcomics222025-10-28 12:49
I don't think that Daredevil, The Watcher, and Kang count as 'practically confirmed'
distilledwill2025-10-29 11:17
One of my favourite things in comics is when, for at least a little while, some seemingly "weak" character is suddenly the most powerful because of an unlikely set of circumstances.
So, I like that there are some top-bods in the Confirmed crew, but I would love it if, for whatever reason, its Mbaku or Ghost who end up saving the universe.

as unlikely as it would be watching any of the defenders (and also punisher) fight dr doom would be so godamm funny to me
