In a lengthy livestream today, Marvel Studios and Disney announced confirmed cast members for the upcoming Avengers film, Avengers: Doomsday. Kind of like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the film is set to essentially be a two-part affair along with Avengers: Secret Wars.
Anthony and Joe Russo, the directors of four of the most successful Marvel movies and the studio’s highest-grossing directors, will helm both Avengers: Doomsday in May 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027. MCU vet Stephen McFeely is behind the scripts for the films.
“Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves,” said The Russo Brothers in a statement at the time.
The last big announcement for the Avengers: Doomsday film came at San Diego Comic-Con back in July when it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr. would return to the MCU as the character, but this time playing Doctor Doom.

More names are expected, and there will of course be surprised
Though this is unique for Marvel to reveal such a cast list right now, they will absolutely have more surprises up their sleeve, so expect more additional cast members, both returning and new, to be unveiled as time goes on, with some not even being revealed until the film is out.
As The Hollywood Reporter noted, both Chris Evans and Tom Holland are expected to appear in one of the two-part Avengers films Steve Rogers / Captain America and Peter Parker / Spider-Man, respectively. These two are likely just a sliver of the full list of other cast members that will go beyond the confirmed list.
