It was a really large day for followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and in addition doubtlessly a little bit of a boring one for many who determined to look at all five-plus hours of a livestream that boiled all the way down to slowly revealing names of actors on chairs. Be that as it could, the livestream in query revealed the huge solid of subsequent 12 months’s “Avengers: Doomsday.” Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, of “Infinity Battle” and “Endgame” fame, this film guarantees to be a giant, multiversal affair.

The solid contains actors from nearly each period of Marvel on the massive display screen, even earlier than the MCU was even a factor. That features lots of the “X-Males” stars of outdated. With a solid this large, it makes it all of the extra intriguing to look at the actors who weren’t a part of the announcement. Even though Marvel revealed an inventory of practically 30 names, a few of the lacking names caught out like a sore thumb.

Whereas we’re not going to enter deep-cut characters right here, nor are we going to speak a lot concerning the TV stuff for the needs of this publish, we’re going to take a look at main actors from the MCU films who apparently aren’t going to be in “Doomsday.” Or, on the very least, the actors who’re being saved a secret in the interim. Let’s dig in.

The MCU has been happening for 17 years now, courting again to the discharge of “Iron Man” in 2008, so there are many main characters on this universe at this level. With the multiverse changing into an element in recent times, virtually nothing is off the desk. (Living proof, Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU in “Doomsday” as Physician Doom, versus Iron Man.) This is an inventory of main gamers from years previous who weren’t included in at the moment’s announcement:

• Chris Evans – Captain America

• Benedict Cumberbatch – Physician Unusual

• Tom Holland – Spider-Man

• Tobey Maguire – Spider-Man

• Andrew Garfield – Spider-Man

• Hugh Jackman – Wolverine

• Ryan Reynolds – Deadpool

• Halle Berry – Storm

• Mark Ruffalo – Hulk

• Jeremy Renner – Hawkeye

• Evangeline Lilly – Wasp

• Gwyneth Paltrow – Pepper Potts

• Iman Vellani – Ms. Marvel

• Famke Janssen – Jean Gray

• Elisabeth Olsen – Scarlet Witch

• Brie Larson – Captain Marvel

• Don Cheadle – Rhodey

• Teyonah Parris – Monica Rambeau

Some would possibly level out that Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow wasn’t named within the casting announcement both. Nevertheless, Johansson not too long ago made it crystal clear that Black Widow is staying useless after the occasions of “Endgame.” Barring a serious shock right here, that appears to be the reality.

Except for that, a number of these names are large ones whom we would have anticipated to see within the subsequent “Avengers” film, however there’s in all probability a superb rationalization as to why they are not going to be a part of the proceedings. Renner’s Hawkeye was famously absent from “Infinity Battle,” solely to have a pivotal half in “Endgame.” So some stuff like that may very well be occurring right here, as “Avengers: Secret Wars” is because of arrive in 2027, one 12 months after “Doomsday.”

The Russo Brothers are directing each “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” which is able to carry the Multiverse Saga to a detailed. The idea is that subsequent 12 months’s “Avengers” film will tee up one thing even larger, which in all probability means a good larger solid. That is the place the likes of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury or Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk might come into play.

There are nonetheless lingering questions, although. Benedict Cumberbatch beforehand indicated he wasn’t going to be in “Doomsday,” solely to then later say that he truly was going to be within the film. So, is he being saved a secret? Or is Marvel holding him in reserve for “Secret Wars” in 2027? For now, we now have much more questions than solutions. There have been additionally reviews that Chris Evans was coming again for “Doomsday,” however the actor is reportedly “fortunately retired” from the MCU. We will see about that.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man looks like one other large omission, however the truth that “Spider-Man 4” is popping out between these two large “Avengers” films would possibly clarify his absence. With out digging into each single actor individually, what’s clear is that Marvel A) does not wish to make “Doomsday” too unwieldy by loading it down with too many stars, and B) needs to avoid wasting heroes for “Secret Wars.”

We’ll certainly study extra as filming progresses within the coming months. If Marvel Studios has taught us something, it is that surprises are going to be in retailer with these large occasion movies. So in the event that they had been keen to disclose practically 30 solid members to the general public, simply think about what they’re not telling us. 

“Avengers: Doomsday” is ready to hit theaters on Might 1, 2026.
