Marvel Studios stunned fans by unveiling the complete cast of Avengers: Doomsday, one of the most anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), during a special live event on March 26, 2025, with a premiere scheduled for May 1, 2026. Led by Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic, the lineup brings together 24 actors, uniting the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Avengers in a multiversal battle against Doctor Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. The event, which revealed names on directors’ chairs every 15 minutes, confirmed the film’s production under the Russo brothers’ direction and highlighted the fusion of iconic franchises, a result of Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox. With an estimated budget exceeding 300 million dollars, the production aims to surpass the 2.79 billion dollars grossed by Avengers: Endgame, cementing its status as a milestone in the MCU’s Phase 6.

Among the confirmed names are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Human Torch, completing the Fantastic Four alongside Pascal. The X-Men arrive in full force with Channing Tatum as Gambit, James Marsden as Cyclops, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, and Kelsey Grammer as Beast, plus Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. The Avengers include Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Lewis Pullman as Sentry. This roster reflects Marvel’s ambition to craft an unprecedented cinematic event.

The full cast announcement, broadcast live, garnered millions of online views, with fans tracking each reveal. The film follows Fantastic Four: First Steps, set for July 2025, and Thunderbolts, slated for May 2025, laying the groundwork for the Multiverse Saga. The presence of stars like Pedro Pascal and Robert Downey Jr., combined with the return of classic X-Men names, underscores Marvel’s strategy of blending nostalgia with innovation, while the Russo brothers’ direction ensures a grandiose narrative for May 2026.

Cast unites icons from three franchises

Pedro Pascal, known for The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, takes on the role of Reed Richards, bringing his versatility to the Fantastic Four’s leader. Vanessa Kirby, as Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, as Ben Grimm, The Thing, and Joseph Quinn, as Johnny Storm, Human Torch, round out the team debuting in July 2025 and returning in Doomsday. The chemistry among these actors, eagerly awaited by fans, is expected to be a highlight of the clash with Doctor Doom.

The X-Men make a powerful entrance, featuring Channing Tatum as Gambit, who debuted in Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024—a film that grossed 1.3 billion dollars. James Marsden returns as Cyclops, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Ian McKellen as Magneto, all pillars of the Fox films that amassed over 6 billion dollars at the box office. Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, and Kelsey Grammer as Beast bolster the mutant lineup, while Hugh Jackman as Wolverine brings his star power after years headlining the X-Men franchise.

Avengers bring heft to the team

Chris Hemsworth, the MCU’s Thor since 2011, leads the Avengers alongside Tom Hiddleston, returning as Loki after two seasons of his Disney+ series. Anthony Mackie as Captain America and Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier form the dynamic duo from Falcon and the Winter Soldier, while Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Letitia Wright as Shuri, the Black Panther, represent the MCU’s evolution post-Endgame. Their presence ensures continuity for a franchise that has exceeded 30 billion dollars in global earnings.

Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Lewis Pullman as Sentry complete the Avengers and allies’ roster. These actors, many introduced in Phases 4 and 5, bring freshness to the cast, linking recent projects like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Black Widow, and Thunderbolts, set to premiere in May 2025.

Pedro Pascal vs. Robert Downey Jr.: the anticipated showdown

Pedro Pascal, as Reed Richards, will face off against Robert Downey Jr., who trades Tony Stark’s legacy for Doctor Doom, the central villain of Avengers: Doomsday. In the comics, the rivalry between Reed and Doom is defined by genius and tension, and the casting of these heavyweight actors promises to bring this dynamic to the screen in May 2026. Downey, whose tenure as Iron Man propelled the MCU since 2008, now takes on a darker role, while Pascal debuts as the Fantastic Four’s elastic strategist.

Downey’s shift to Doctor Doom, unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con in 2024, stunned fans, but his blockbuster experience makes him perfect for the Latverian villain. Pascal, meanwhile, carries a track record of intense roles, from Din Djarin to Joel Miller, and his debut in Fantastic Four: First Steps sets the stage for the clash. The battle between them could be the story’s core, delving into science, magic, and the multiverse’s collapse.

X-Men return in grand style

Channing Tatum as Gambit spearheads the X-Men’s comeback alongside James Marsden as Cyclops and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. The casting of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as Professor X and Magneto revives the iconic duo that shaped Fox’s films, while Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming, and Kelsey Grammer bring back Mystique, Nightcrawler, and Beast. These names, confirmed in the March 26, 2025 live event, tie fans to the X-Men’s past, which raked in billions over two decades.

The mutants’ integration into the MCU kicked off with appearances like Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, both in 2022. Avengers: Doomsday, however, marks their full-scale arrival, with Gambit, Wolverine, and Cyclops poised to interact with the Avengers and Fantastic Four in May 2026.

Avengers and newcomers in the multiversal fight

Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki bring the might of the original Avengers, while Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan solidify Captain America’s legacy. Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Letitia Wright as Shuri add levity and strength, linking the film to projects like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Wakanda Forever. These veterans ensure familiarity for MCU fans.
