- Robert Downey Jr. shocks fans by returning as Doctor Doom, not Iron Man, teasing a villainous twist.
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever stars Winston Duke (M’Baku) and Captain America: Brave New World’s Danny Ramirez (Joaquin Torres) also return.
Surprise X-Men Comebacks
Marvel merges universes with mutant icons:
- Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Ian McKellen (Magneto) reunite despite prior on-screen deaths.
- Kelsey Grammer (Beast), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) reprise roles.

New Faces Joining the Fight

- Simu Liu (Shang-Chi) and Tenoch Huerta (Namor) expand the ensemble.
The Russos’ Marvel Return
Joe and Anthony Russo, who helmed Endgame and Infinity War, reunite with Marvel to direct Doomsday. The film aims to reset the MCU after Phase 4’s multiverse chaos, weaving together threads from The Marvels, Loki, and Doctor Strange 2.
Why This Cast Matters
Avengers: Doomsday marks the first full team reunion since 2019’s Endgame, which bid farewell to Iron Man, Captain America (Steve Rogers), and Black Widow. With Doctor Doom positioned as the saga’s next Thanos-level threat and multiverse crossovers escalating, Marvel is betting big on nostalgia and fresh stakes.
