Hey, Marvel fans! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been glued to every scrap of news about Avengers: Doomsday, the next big MCU blowout hitting theaters on May 1, 2026. The buzz is unreal, and thanks to a recent video breakdown by New Rockstars , we’ve got a hot list of rumored cast members that’s got me hyped—and maybe a little overwhelmed. So, let’s dive into this star-studded lineup, figure out who’s who, and why this movie might just break the multiverse (and our minds) wide open. Plus, I’ve thrown in a handy table below with pics and roles to keep it all straight!
The Big Return: Robert Downey Jr. as… Doctor Doom?
Okay, let’s kick things off with the bombshell that’s still got my jaw on the floor. Robert Downey Jr., the guy who made Iron Man a legend, is reportedly back—not as Tony Stark, but as Doctor Doom. I mean, what?! After his tear-jerker exit in Endgame, seeing RDJ as the villain pulling multiversal strings is wild. He’s gonna be the big bad, and I can’t wait to see him rock that green cloak and mask.
Chris Evans: Captain America or Something Else?
Next up, Chris Evans might be dusting off the shield—or maybe not. The rumors say he’s back, possibly as Steve Rogers, or even a twist like Nomad or Hydra Cap. I loved his Cap era—those biceps and that heart of gold—so picturing him facing off with RDJ’s Doom? Total chills.
Tom Holland: Spider-Man Swings In
No shock here—Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is swinging into the mix. After No Way Home left Peter all alone, I’ve been itching to see how he fits into this chaos. He’s gotta be cracking jokes while dodging multiversal mayhem, right? Classic Spidey.
Benedict Cumberbatch: Doctor Strange, the Multiverse Maestro
Speaking of mayhem, Benedict Cumberbatch is back as Doctor Strange. After Multiverse of Madness, he’s the guy trying to keep this crazy timeline from imploding—or maybe causing it, who knows? I’m pumped for him to square off with Doom—two brainiacs in a magical slugfest.
Anthony Mackie: Captain America Takes Flight
Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, our new Cap, is rumored to join the fight, too. I loved watching him soar in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and with Captain America: Brave New World dropping in 2025, he’s primed to shine in Doomsday. Can’t wait to see his wings in action!
The Fantastic Four: A Fresh Face for the MCU
Here’s where it gets juicy—the Fantastic Four are crashing the party! Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing) are all reportedly in. Their flick hits July 25, 2025, so they’ll roll right into Doomsday. Doom’s their arch-enemy, so this is gonna be epic.
Thunderbolts and More: The Anti-Hero Squad
The Thunderbolts crew is another big piece of this puzzle. Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine are all rumored to show up after their May 2025 film. They’re like the MCU’s rough-around-the-edges squad—will they help or hinder?
Even More Heroes? The List Keeps Growing
Hold onto your popcorn, because it doesn’t stop there. Chris Hemsworth might swing Mjolnir as Thor again—imagine that thunder in this mess! Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man, Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, and David Harbour’s Red Guardian are also on the rumor mill. It’s like the MCU’s throwing a massive reunion party.

What’s It All Mean?
So, what’s the deal with this massive cast? Avengers: Doomsday looks like a multiversal free-for-all, with RDJ’s Doom stirring the pot and heroes from every corner—newbies like the Fantastic Four, vets like Thor, and wildcards like the Thunderbolts—teaming up to stop him. The video hints at a mix of Civil War tension and Endgame stakes, but with a grounded twist. I’m already imagining Spider-Man geeking out over Reed Richards or Bucky throwing shade at John Walker.
For me, the fun’s in the chaos—how will all these egos fit on one screen? Will RDJ’s Doom outsmart everyone? I’ve got a million questions, and May 2026 can’t come fast enough.
