Avengers: Doomsday is poised to deliver the most ambitious crossover since the title team dissolved in Avengers: Endgame, but Marvel’s got a funny way of rolling out the cast this go-round. In March, the studio announced the first wave of actors in an unorthodox (and very long) livestream, unveiling 26 names while omitting actors that felt crucial to the film. Marvel has been relatively quiet since, and with Doomsday in the thick of production, that radio silence makes some sense. But fans are still wondering when the full cast for Doomsday will be announced, and the same can be said for some of the actors left off the list.
Sources close to production claim that Marvel hasn’t finished revealing Doomsday’s cast members. That means the studio could still announce the return of characters like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, or — perhaps most crucially — Deadpool and Wolverine. The latter pair seems instrumental to a movie about the multiverse, as their team-up in last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine paved the way for Doomsday in several ways. It doesn’t make much sense to do this team-up without them, and Ryan Reynolds, who’s played Deadpool since 2016, seems to agree.
