Marvel is clearly swinging for the fences with “Avengers: Doomsday.” The moment Robert Downey Jr. was revealed to be returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom, it instantly cemented this movie as one of Marvel’s biggest gambles. It’s obvious the studio is trying to recapture some of that “Infinity War” and “Endgame” magic, and while I don’t think we’ll ever truly recreate that era again, I have to admit… I’m excited.
Interestingly, Lewis Pullman recently pushed back on concerns that “Doomsday” would just become a giant cameo parade, insisting the Russo brothers want every character to matter. But at the same time, Alan Cumming revealed scripts reportedly used secret placeholder names to hide unannounced returning characters. So while it may not be completely packed wall-to-wall with surprise appearances, this is still Marvel we’re talking about, and there are almost certainly a few hidden cameos.
