Avengers: Doomsday continues its marketing push, sending Marvel’s First Family to Africa.
I don’t know how Avengers: Doomsday is going to handle its massive, unwieldy cast, and it’s all but certain many characters will be making glorified cameos (I’d put money on the X-Men’s screen time being extremely limited. But it’s a safe bet that the Fantastic Four is going to play a big part, seeing as Doctor Doom is originally an FF villain. And here’s our first look, featuring a fun little meet cute between the Thing and King M’Baku. Take a look:
The Avengers: Doomsday Fantastic Four Teaser
What’s the plot?
Who can say? Doctor Doom invades, and the Avengers assemble. Along with everyone else in the MCU they could get in front of a greenscreen for a couple of days. At a guess, Doom is after everyone’s kids, which would certainly motivate many retired heroes to squeeze into their costumes again.
Who’s in it?
Oh, look, pretty much everyone. Almost everyone’s an Avenger these days, but let’s try and break it up by sub-franchise, shall we? In a rough sort of way, so don’t @ me. Strap in:
From The Fantastic Four:
- Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic.
- Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman.
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, the ever lovin’ blue eyed Thing.
- Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch.
- Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, because he is an FF villain, dammit. Also, Mendo should have played him.
From Captain America:
- Chris Evans as Captain America.
- Anthony Mackie as Captain America 2.0.
- Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, although we could slot him into the Thunderbolts too.
- Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter.
- Danny Ramirez as the Falcon.
From Black Panther:
- Letitia Wright as Black Panther.
- Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor.
- Winston Duke as M’Baku.
From Thor:
- Chris Hemsworth as Thor.
- Tom Hiddleston as Loki.
From The Thunderbolts:
- Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova.
- Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent.
- Lewis Pullman as Sentry.
- David Harbour Red Guardian.
- Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost.
From The X-Men:
- Patrick Stewart as Professor X.
- Ian McKellen as Magneto.
- Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler.
- Rebecca Romijn as Mystique.
- James Marsden as Cyclops.
- Channing Tatum as Gambit.
- Kelsey Grammer as the Beast.
Various and Sundry:
- Paul Rudd as Ant-Man.
- Simu Liu as Shang-Chi.
- Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange.
- Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.
- Tom Holland as Spider-Man.
With more to be announced of course. There are rumours that Ryan Reynolds will show up as Deadpool, and there’s definitely a non-zero chance that Hugh Jackman will strap on the claws again – he looks pretty ripped in Song Sung Blue.
When’s it out?
Avengers: Doomsday hits cinemas on December 17, 2026. Bit of time to go, then.
What’s the vibe?
Uh, mysterious, I guess? Let’s reserve judgement until we get a full trailer.
