We now know the cast for Avengers: Doomsday, streamed to millions of viewers and done so simply with names on chairs.
The demise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was greatly exaggerated. They literally just showed the backs of chairs with names on them. And that drew millions of fans to their X stream and on YouTube. By the end of it, and at the time of writing, 18 million people viewed the reveal of the Avengers: Doomsday cast.
Now, is that everyone? Who knows? Marvel is full of surprises, especially when it comes to their movies. We do know more than a couple dozen of stars who will return to their famous roles, some even joining the official MCU for the first time.

Marvel reveals the Avengers: Doomsday cast during lengthy stream
For nearly five-and-a-half hours, Marvel streamed the backs of casting chairs to show who will be on the screen in Avengers: Doomsday. It began with Chris Hemsworth, and at that point, viewers piled in by the millions.
There are some notable omissions, which we'll get to. But first, here the list of everyone that got a chair during the internet-breaking stream. We've also included who they've played in the past, which we can assume will be the character they play in the movie:
- Chris Hemsworth as Thor
- Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman
- Anthony Mackie as Captain America
- Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier
- Letitia Wright as Shuri/Black Panther
- Paul Rudd as Ant-Man
- Wyatt Russell as John Walker
- Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing
- Simu Liu as Shang Chi
- Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova
- Kelsey Grammer as Beast
- Lewis Pullman as Sentry
- Danny Ramirez as The Falcon
- Joseph Quinn as Human Torch
- David Harbour as Red Guardian
- Winston Duke as M'Baku
- Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost
- Tom Hiddleston as Loki
- Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier
- Ian McKellen as Magneto
- Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler
- Rebecca Romijn as Mystique
- James Marsden as Cyclops
- Channing Tatum as Gambit
- Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic
- Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom
Back to those that we're afraid are missing. Could it be for good or for now? There is no Spider-Man, Tom, Tobey, or Andrew. No Hugh Jackman as Wolverine or Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. No Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, or Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner.
And that's just to name only a small handful of the actors and characters that were not included in the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal. Again, they very well could announce more during production, or keep them a surprise. We'll have to wait and see.
