Theory about the unannounced characters for Avengers: Doomsday

We currently have 28 known characters for Avengers: Doomsday, the 27 chairs announced on the 27th of March, 2025, and Franklin Richards, played by a currently unknown child actor or actress. I don't think that we will get a second line of chairs, I do however think that we will get a handful more actors announced for Doomsday.

I believe that they will announce Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Teyonah Parris (Maria Rambeau), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Evangeline Lilly\* (Wasp), and Sophia Di Martino (Sylvie). I also believe that this will happen at SDCC 2026, because it's five months before the big event movie, and they need some big news.

I believe that anyone else such as Famke Janssen\*\* (Jean Grey), Halle Berry\*\* (Storm), Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), will be in the movie, but as a surprise, because they really need to keep some surprises for the movie itself.

I also think the Young Avengers/Champions Actors, Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel), Hailee Steinfeld (Kate Bishop/Hawkeye), Joe Locke (Wiccan), Ruaridh Mollica (Speed), Kathryn Newton (Stature), and possibly some others will be in Avengers: Secret Wars, but not Doomsday.

\*Enough money can make anyone come out of retirement

\*\*They might say they're not in the movie, but bringing back the Fox X-Men without Jean Grey and Storm is just wrong.

the chairs cast is all the main cast, anyone unannounced is a tiny part or cameo

None of the remaining characters will be announced ahead of time in a special way

Defiant-Band45732025-12-07 08:55

That is nonsense. Many of the names announced will have small roles. Some characters are still needed to fill plot holes.

Single-Pianist-22112025-12-07 09:20

Nope, all the announced characters are the main cast. They’ve all been featured in all promotional materials thus far and are the only ones featured on the bag given as a present to the crew.

anonymous7532025-12-07 16:19

I'm not saying you're wrong but I also don't see how you can state this so matter-of-factly as an outsider. Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield were in No Way Home and were missing from all promotional material and even edited out of the trailer. Same with Spider-Man in Civil War.

Single-Pianist-22112025-12-07 23:00

Because I’ve been following this all year and literally every single piece of evidence has just made this more and more and more likely to be the case. I would say we’re at like 99.9% certainty now

Defiant-Band45732025-12-07 17:40

They may want to keep some characters under the vest. for different reasons. For example, Vision Quest could be the last project released before Doomsday. They may want people to tune in to see if Wanda shows up. If the rumors are true then it will; be revealed than Wanda is alive.

Single-Pianist-22112025-12-07 22:56

Nope, they’ve made it very clear they’re not making people do D+ homework anymore

Defiant-Band45732025-12-08 00:37

Yep. They have to finish up the story. If they didn't want to do that then they wouldn't do Vision Quest at all. If they followed that scene up with Wanda being with Doom, that would create a buzz.

Single-Pianist-22112025-12-08 00:40

Wanda is not in Doomsday, they’re stuck doing Vision Quest because they committed to it a long time ago and have no choice…it’s not gonna tie into Doomsday

Defiant-Band45732025-12-08 15:08

Obviously it is going to tie into Doomsday because it will likely be the last project before Doomsday. As for Wanda, it remains to be seen.

Single-Pianist-22112025-12-08 15:29

Nope. It was originally supposed to be released *after* Doomsday

And Wanda is almost certainly (like 99%) not in doomsday

Defiant-Band45732025-12-08 16:37

It is being released BEFORE Doomsday. They are not going to ignore Doomsday.

It is more like 50-50 given that Marvel has constantly teased her return.

TrainingSevere15942025-12-30 16:26

They said there are more characters to come

ModernBass2025-12-07 08:37

Maria Rambeau definitely

Captain Marvel and Ms.Marvel, maybeeee

Hulk, I doubt it. I bet the ending or end credit to the Spider-Man movie will lead directly into Secret Wars. I just don't think any characters in that movie will be in Doomsday

Stature, maybe

Speed, Wiccan, and Vision...maybe....I really don't know. I would lean probably no.

Most of the other kids supes, probably not.

However, one that you didn't mention but I think will be is Wonder Man. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we see a little of the formation of Sam's Avengers within part of the show.

marvelcomics222025-12-07 09:05

Best guess is that we won't see the Young Avengers until Secret Wars, but why would Brand New Day set up Secret Wars, but not Doomsday? That's like Black Panther setting uo Endgame instead of Infinity War. And, I don't think Wonder Man is going to be in Avengers: Doomsday

ModernBass2025-12-07 09:09

Because neither spiderman nor hulk were announced initially. And that's just, really odd. Why wouldn't you announce Spider Man and an KG Avenger to help build hype from the begining?

I know it comes before Doomsday, but regardless I think Brand New Day will be the equivalent of what Ant Man and The Wasp was to infinity war and endgame

Conspiranoid2025-12-07 14:09

>Why wouldn't you announce Spider Man and an KG Avenger to help build hype from the begining?

Announcing them wouldn't build any hype, because we're all expecting them.

Them not being announced is definitely creating more buzz.

ModernBass2025-12-07 20:54

It really isn't...they're pretty expected characters. If they are later announced, people would probably just shrug and go "oh cool". It's honestly only "buzz" for us obsessed fans on reddit.

Now, if they waited to announce Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellon until the first trailer, THAT would create hype and buzz.

Which is actually why I wouldn't be surprised if Toby Maguire is in this movie and they're saving him as the hype reveal closer towards release date.

ClassifiedID342025-12-30 08:04

Also keep in mind that Spiderman Beyond the Spiderverse is released between Doomsday and Secret Wars. Prolly why they didn't delay it by one year. Imagine 2 spiderman movies in one year (oversaturation)

Burgoonius2025-12-08 02:59

Regarding your comment about no one from Spider-Man being in Doomsday I believe it was confirmed that Yelena will be in Spider-Man

ModernBass2025-12-08 03:01

Maybe that's the end credit scene 🤷

Burgoonius2025-12-08 03:02

True

ToxethOGrady2025-12-07 08:39

You're setting yourself up for disappointment they've announced who's going to be in it. Doomsday is already stuffed to the rafters with characters anything more would just be confusing or gratuitous.

taquitosmixtape2025-12-07 12:51

It really should have been two avengers movies imo, I don’t know theories on the plot but it seems over stuffed with actors and I worry it’ll move far too fast and not breathe enough to be a good pace

StarChaser18792025-12-09 05:44

It is two avengers movies, avengers secret wars is the next one

taquitosmixtape2025-12-09 13:07

You know what I meant, we went how many years with an avengers movie? It feels like they’re cramming 2 movies into doomsday and then secret wars right a year behind it

HenryOnYt12025-12-07 17:30

They literally said that the chairs cast is not the full cast and already hinted more characters there’s definitely more.

SeekerVash2025-12-07 19:49

That was three box office flops ago.

Disney is now going to be tightly containing the budgets for these movies, they aren't going to make a 500 million budgeted Avengers when most of the last two years of movies could barely crack 400m total box office.

There's no more characters, the list is the list.

HenryOnYt12025-12-07 22:01

But Kevin Feige already said there is more characters and that the Doomsday list is not the final cast, his words not mine, the literal producer of the movie said it, and there's contracts and deals just because recent movies didn't do so well is not like they are not going to be like "we lost money so you are no longer in the movie"

SeekerVash2025-12-07 22:04

You're going to be very, very, disappointed when the movie releases.

HenryOnYt12025-12-07 22:06

For believing there will be more characters after many people working on the movie said there will be more characters?

HenryOnYt12025-12-07 22:09

Maybe don't tell people to be disappointed for expecting something that's already said to happen?

hauntingduck2025-12-07 21:45

Yes, there will police officer number 2, random woman number 1-5, etc. bit every character is a named character but of course other characters will be in the movie

0LoveAnonymous02025-12-07 21:35

Wait, I thought Marvel said more to come? Or was I dreaming?

multi-972025-12-07 21:48

Rdj said it too on Instagram after the chair reveal

HenryOnYt12025-12-07 22:04

Yeah, they said that and also Kevin Feige said it.

Defiant-Band45732025-12-08 00:02

Most of the characters will not fit into it in a meaningful way. They will be in the battle scenes and have a line or two here and there. There are certain characters that you will need to move the story forward.

Why do the avengers go to the x-men universe? To pay off the Marvels end sequence. You will need Monica and Carol for that.

\`How does Doom get his god-like powers? He has to defeat avengers, x-men, f4 and the TVA. Then in Secret Wars, he has to be able to make people forget their former lives. That would include Strange and maybe Wanda.

FortniteMusic_YT2025-12-07 08:46

What about spiderman?

RoliePolieOlie__2025-12-07 08:47

Tobey

RedHammer14412025-12-07 16:54

Feel like Tobey will either be at the very end or not until secret wars. Same with Chris Evans.

Material-Elephant1882025-12-07 09:22

most of these feel pretty likely, yeah

moo_shoe2025-12-07 13:21

I'm not sure they'll announce her with huge fanfare and I don't know if she'll get back in the suit but I 100% think Pepper Potts will turn up in these movies.

DeganUAB2025-12-07 15:18

Why would Franklin be played by a child actress?

marvelcomics222025-12-07 15:35

Why not? It was a child 'actress' used in First Steps, and gender doesn't matter when it comes to a toddler.

DeganUAB2025-12-07 15:38

Maybe a baby which he was in the movie but a toddler cannot be interchanged between the sexes with no differences. Also wasn’t he played by a boy in the end of the credits scene that was shot for doomsday?

marvelcomics222025-12-07 16:36

It was the post credit scene, and the actor in that was not credited, so we have no idea who it was, nor what their gender is.

remerdy12025-12-07 15:52

Im betting Deadpool & Wolverine will be the post credit scene

Probably then waking up in Battleworld

Jedi_Master832025-12-07 18:08

Absolutely likely to happen. Getting recruited to join in the fight.

CaptHayfever2025-12-07 17:35

The amount of groveling that Feige would have to do to get Halle Berry to play Storm again is unimaginable.

Like, Alan Cumming hated his makeup process, but he still liked playing the character, & he only had to do the makeup for one movie. That's an easy sell for Doomsday; "we streamlined the makeup process", great, he's in.
Berry did *four* X-Men movies & hated what they did with her character in **all** of them, especially the one that she literally got *conned* into making.

Secret_Bet_21262025-12-08 00:08

Maaaaybe. Big maaaybe, Hugh could get her back.

In 1 interview, one of the things she wondered is how come nobody was loving on Storm. Then she & Hugh came up with the backstory that Logan x Storm hooked up & had a thing on the DL until Jean messed it up. - or rather Logan's feelings for Jean ruined it cuz Storm was not down for Logan having them both.

And Logan in D&W lost all his X-Men. Meaning no Jean. So bring back Storm, give her some actual badass material to work with, plus finally sailing the Stormverine ship that she has stated multiple times to be a thing far as her & Jackman are concerned, and she might return 1 last time to end her run on a high note despite the mediocre journey FOX gave her.

In one interview, Hugh was asked what X-Men character would he have wanted to go on the journey with him in Logan, and before the question was even finished, he blurted out Halle Berry Storm. A different interview with Alison Hammond, she asks if he is truly done playing Wolverine after Logan. He says he is finished unless she'll be his Storm. Mans is all about that Logan x Storm action. So he won't say no to possibly trying to call up Halle & get her back 1 last time. Lol

Wishful thinking though.

ShadesOfTheDead2025-12-08 04:24

Halle actually said she would want to return, iirc. But apparently she just doesn’t want to work with RDJ again.

I don’t recall her saying she hated her appearance in DOFP.

high_everyone2025-12-07 21:17

I will be a wee bit let down if Doctor Strange isn’t in the end of Doomsday. He’s not as morally bound by risking the life and death of others and he’s done heel turns before leading up to Secret Wars in the comics.

multi-972025-12-07 21:51

Sophia posted a banana to her Instagram. Out of context, that means fuck all, but she did the same thing when she started filming for Loki.

(Just makes so much narrative sense for Sylvie to be in this too, and there has been leaks revealing the TVA set)
So, I believe you are right that she will be in it. Whether it's a big role or not, I have no idea. But Sophia herself said not to believe the rumours online

marvelcomics222025-12-08 03:49

Well, Andrew Garfield said he wasn't in No Way Home.

Wonderful_One18352025-12-08 01:08

Armandonerd2025-12-08 02:27

I hope Kang is in it.

Jkohlg2025-12-08 03:10

Have you seen Famke lately? She has literally changed her entire face, idk they’ll add her but if they do it’ll require some major editing. Not to be weird or mean, but I was just talking about her last night because I’m rewatching the old X-men movies and she looks starkly different.

alexiakinkylina2025-12-08 17:09

And… and… and… Wanda? 🥺

Unusual-Mall-78102025-12-12 01:27

You forgot Maria Rambeau and her mother's variant who was shown in the Marvels's post credit scene

atomcrafter2025-12-14 09:58

Doomsday and Secret Wars are paired, just like Infinity War and Endgame. There will be a similar cast shake-up in between.

Sally Field as the Flying Nun.

forevertrueblue2025-12-28 03:08

Aunt May was the Flying Nun all along?

Nervous-Argument-9002025-12-22 20:52

Iman Vellani are coming back, if you Google her, Avengers Secret wars show as upcoming movie.
