Six years after Avengers: Endgame became one of the biggest movies of all time, the Avengers are finally assembling again.

Marvel Studios is in the midst of revealing its cast for Avengers: Doomsday on a livestream. The move comes ahead of the feature going into production in London next month.

The cast announced so far include Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Vanessa Kirby (The Invisible Woman), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) and Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), and Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova).

Tenoch Huerta Mejía, who played the Submariner in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, was the first true surprise of the casting event. There were questions over his return to Marvel after he was accused of sexual misconduct in June 2023, claims he denied and “false and completely unsubstantiated.” He dropped out of a Netflix movie amid the media storm, and later appeared as a guest at Marvel’s Echo premiere event, suggesting he and the studio were on good terms.

Marvel first announced Avengers: Doomsday to fanfare at San Diego Comic-Con in July, with the surprise reveal that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU after retiring the role of Iron Man with Endgame. The move reunited Downey, Marvel’s most bankable star, with the Russo Bros., Marvel’s most bankable directors, who likewise had departed the MCU after Endgame.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige first pitched Downey on the idea of returning as Doom, while Downey himself convinced the Russo Bros. to return to the fold after spending the last half decade working in the world of streaming movies. The pair opted to return after their frequent screenwriter collaborator Stephen McFeely pitched them his take.

Doomsday has a release date of May 1, 2026, while followup Avengers: Secret Wars is on the calendar for May 7, 2027.
