Avengers: Doomsday's full cast is out, Robert Downey Jr returns as villain

The much-anticipated movie Avengers: Doomsday marks the return of Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom is set to hit theatres on May 1 next year

There is good news and bad news for all the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans. Let's begin with the bad news: The much-anticipated movie Avengers: Doomsday has been delayed and is now scheduled to hit theatres on May 1, 2026. 

 

The good news is that the makers have announced the cast for the upcoming movie. The whole team includes stars from a mix of Marvel Cinematic Universe mainstays, 20th Century Fox’s now-defunct X-Men universe, and upcoming stars of Fantastic Four: First Steps. 

 

However, the cast will miss some key names from the Marvel Universes, i.e.,  Tom Holland (Spider-Man) and Chris Evans (Captain America). Still, Evans is set to appear in at least one of the two-part movies.

 

The highlight of Avengers: Doomsday's cast is the return of Robert Downey Jr as the villainous Doctor Doom.
