The hype for Avengers: Doomsday officially began yesterday. Marvel Studios streamed a list of production chairs, revealing the cast of actors who will be in the production. Not only was the list more enormous than any superhero film we’ve seen, including Avengers: Endgame, but it’s almost double the size of the next closest film. As it is a multiversal film, the actors announced weren’t just familiar names from the MCU, but also heavily included actors from the Fox X-Men franchises. This film will be absolutely bonkers, and we’re listing every actor in the film so far, along with the role they’re playing, just in case their name doesn’t ring a bell.
Before we get to the naming of the characters, it’s worth mentioning that Avengers: Doomsday will be the first part of a two-part epic to close out the Multiverse Saga and move on to, presumably, the Mutant Saga and the incorporation of every other character they’ve since inherited from Fox. They will likely seed the new saga within these films, so it’s interesting to see how they handle some of the names returning to the fray. That said, it’s time to get to the list, and this is a long list, buckle up. Any characters coming from Fox will be noted.

Wrapping Up
This is 32 characters, that we know of, in one film. This film could be one of the worst films we have ever seen in the MCU or further proof that Joe and Anthony Russo are the Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes of the film industry. Given all that’s on the line, including the legacy of Robert Downey Jr. in the MCU, given that he left on the highest note possible, I’m inclined to believe the brothers are going to step up in conjunction with Kevin Feige to ensure this is one of the most polished and well received films they’ve ever made.
