Marvel Studios Is Reportedly Hiding Secret Avengers: Doomsday Character Reveals

by

Okay, so I’ve been hearing a *lot* about the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday*, and it sounds like Marvel is keeping a whole bunch of characters under wraps. Remember that big presentation they did back in March? It became pretty clear then that not *everyone* we expected would be in the movie. What’s really interesting is they left out some actors who were practically guaranteed to return – I’m talking about Chris Evans as Captain America, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, and a few others. It’s a smart move to keep some surprises, but it definitely raised a few eyebrows at the time!

Filming for *Doomsday* has been underway for half a year and is reportedly nearing completion, with some additional filming planned later. While there were rumors of a large cast – potentially even bigger than the 27 actors already announced – there hasn’t been much official news or leaks since production started in the U.K. Fans haven’t yet seen Robert Downey Jr. in his new Marvel Cinematic Universe role, but recent promotional artwork for Doctor Doom might offer a first look at his villain costume for *Avengers 5*.

So, I was listening to the latest Cosmic Circus Q&A, and rumor mill master Alex Perez dropped a fascinating tidbit. Apparently, *Avengers: Doomsday* is keeping some characters under wraps! When asked about the full cast announcement for the 2026 film, he strongly hinted that there are some ‘secret’ players we haven’t heard about yet. It sounds like Marvel’s playing its cards close to the chest, and we can expect some surprises when the full lineup is finally revealed.

The source said they don’t know exactly when the complete cast list will be announced, but they’d guess around December 18, 2026. They also mentioned that even if there’s another cast announcement, Marvel Studios plans to keep some character details hidden until the movie comes out.

While hinting at surprise characters and actors in *Avengers: Doomsday*, Perez mentioned that some will be “brand new, returning favorites, and characters taking over from previous heroes.”

I’m not sure. The best time to find out is probably when the movie is released, because Marvel still likes to surprise fans with some characters, even after revealing some beforehand. These hidden characters could be brand new, returning favorites, or taking on established roles.

Perez also shared his reasoning for keeping some of the characters from *Doomsday* a secret – he wants to avoid a prolonged period of speculation about whether or not they’ll appear.

Absolutely. We want to keep the identities of those involved a secret until *Doomsday* is released. If I were to hint at who’s involved, we’d spend the next year with everyone wondering whether or not it would actually happen.

However, Perez suggested we shouldn’t get too excited about these surprise characters. He pointed out that most of the unconfirmed characters were actually just rumors he or other insiders had shared previously.

However, most of the characters that haven’t been officially revealed have been mentioned in rumors shared by myself, other gaming news sources, or content creators on YouTube.

Marvel Studios has officially announced a cast of 27 actors for *Avengers: Doomsday*, with Robert Downey Jr. playing the main villain, Doctor Doom. The film, a major event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga, is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2026.

What Surprises are Avengers: Doomsday’s Cast Holding?

Alez Perez has hinted that Marvel Studios is keeping some surprises up its sleeve for *Avengers: Doomsday*, including both familiar characters from previous Marvel films and completely new ones we haven’t seen yet. It sounds like they’re bringing back heroes from the past while also introducing fresh faces.

Recent reports suggest Ryan Gosling could appear as Ghost Rider in the next *Avengers* movie, but it depends on his availability given his commitments to *Star Wars: Starfighter*.

In addition, Marvel Studios is said to be searching for a new Black Panther, potentially called T’Challa II. This new actor could first appear in an upcoming, large-scale multiverse film, leading to a starring role in *Black Panther 3* as part of Phase 7 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Currently, there’s no official news about another announcement of cast members, and Marvel may choose to reveal them with trailers or closer to the movie’s release. However, a recent report claimed to list all 61 actors who will be in *Avengers 5*, which is more than twice the number of actors Marvel has already confirmed.

Following popular movies like *Deadpool & Wolverine* and *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, fans are already speculating about exciting cameos – especially the potential return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. However, it’s worth remembering that some characters might be held back for the *Secret Wars* movie.
