Marvel took a pretty unusual approach to unveiling the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, and confirming that production is underway. After a series of chairs were revealed one by one on a five-hour livestream, we learned that the Thunderbolts* and the Fantastic Four would definitely be back, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever villain Namor would return, and several stars of Fox's X-Men movies would be making their MCU debut.
It was a lot to take in, but there was one smaller announcement that made me the most excited – the return of both Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. Hemsworth was the first name to be announced, confirming a much-welcome, if slightly surprising, comeback as Thor after the mixed reception to Thor: Love and Thunder. Then, hours later, a new chair revealed that Hiddleston would make an appearance as the God of Mischief after what we thought might be the end of him in Loki season 2.
