Avengers Vet Possibly Unveils Doomsday's Return

Fans around the world recently gathered during a five-hour livestream that revealed which of our favorite heroes and villains are going to appear in Avengers: Doomsday . Fortunately, there was something for everyone's liking. Beloved fan-favorites such as Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes will steal the spotlight yet again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , while veterans such as Ian McKellen's Magneto are bound to make the comeback of a lifetime. But while there was a lot to unpack (with over 25 characters being announced), we couldn't help but miss those who didn't have a chair with their name on it.

Characters like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine did not appear in the first announcement, despite fans’ hopes they would unite with the other Avengers. However, there's good news for those eagerly awaiting their inclusion. At CinemaCon 2025, Kevin Feige announced that the full roster has still not been unveiled. It remains unclear which specific characters are yet to be revealed. Although it's typical to keep some twists secret up until the film debuts, we could potentially catch an early peek at what's coming our way sooner rather than later.

Brie Larson might have hinted at her role as Captain Marvel in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie.

It's time to soar higher, further, and faster. In an Instagram story, Brie Larson might've teased her return as Carol Danvers in Avengers: Doomsday , which has only recently begun shooting in the UK. Optimistically speaking, she mentioned that further details will be shared on Thursday, indicating that we won’t have to wait too much longer for definitive information.

It's now time to turn the page — we'll delve deeper into this on Thursday.

Initially, it doesn’t seem like Brie Larson’s brief remark hints at a return to the Marvel franchise. Nevertheless, considering additional details provides clarity. To begin with, insider account Marvel Guy unveiled that the latter portion of the Avengers: Doomsday The casting announcement might also take place on Thursday, aligning with the date Brie has been hinting at. Additionally, industry insider Jeff Sneider reportedly revealed the remaining heroes Set to make an appearance in the film, and Captain Marvel is among those included.

Moreover, we shouldn't overlook that the previous time viewers encountered Captain Marvel, she joined forces with Miss Marvel, who will make an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday as revealed by leaked concept art Moreover, Monica Rambeau was also involved. The Marvels Team up, and we can presume she’ll also have a part in the film since she’s stuck in the same alternate dimension where the X-Men originate. Considering this, it wouldn’t make much sense for both Kamala and Monica to help out Earth's Mightiest Heroes without Captain Marvel being present at all.

But why would Marvel announce the second part of the crossover's cast this Thursday, even when the first part was unveiled not so long ago? Well, it all might come down to the timing of which certain deals were closed. As reported by reliable insider Daniel Ritchman , Halle Berry was close to finalizing a deal to appear in Avengers: Doomsday days after the initial cast announcement. So there's a chance that the House of Mouse couldn't legally announce that some characters will show up in the movie yet, even when they indeed are in the script. So now that a whole extra month has passed, there's a chance more stars have finally signed their contract and will be flying to the UK just in time for shooting.

Captain Marvel is one of Earth's greatest defenders against the unknown. She's considered one of the MCU's most powerful heroes, right alongside the likes of the Scarlet Witch and now Bob from the Thunderbolts. With that in mind, it would be strange if other characters who have fought alongside her (like Thor) didn't even think about calling her once Doom arrives and the situation is more dire than ever. Besides, the cosmic heroine has proved that she cares about the dangers in outer space, and wouldn't you know it, but it was recently revealed that the MCU is facing a "huge space crisis".

No matter which way we see it, all signs indicate that Captain Marvel will appear in Avengers: Doomsday , and we wouldn’t have it any different. Luckily, it won’t be much longer until Brie Larson sheds light on what the mystery entails, and if it has any connection to Marvel or not.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on May 1, 2026.
