Millions of Marvel fans flock to the backs of chairs for the reveal of the Avengers: Doomsday cast

BBG News

Now, it’s confirmed who will star in Avengers: Doomsday. This was announced to a massive audience and made easy by placing names on seats.

The claim that the Marvel Cinematic Universe was nearing its end was greatly overstated. Instead, they merely displayed chairs with names on them, which attracted millions of fans to their streaming platform and YouTube channel. By the culmination of this event and at the time of writing, a staggering 18 million viewers had witnessed the unveiling of the cast for Avengers: Doomsday.

Or in a shorter version:

The supposed end of Marvel Cinematic Universe was much ado about nothing; chairs with names on them were enough to lure millions to their X stream and YouTube. The reveal of the Avengers: Doomsday cast drew 18 million views.

Are we all here now? I’m not sure, but Marvel has a knack for springing surprises, particularly with their films. What we do have knowledge of is several well-known actors reprising their iconic characters, and some are even making their official MCU debuts for the first time.

Marvel reveals the Avengers: Doomsday cast during lengthy stream

For approximately five and a half hours, Marvel broadcast the backrests of casting chairs to reveal the actors appearing in Avengers: Doomsday. The presentation started with Chris Hemsworth, causing a massive influx of viewers numbering in the millions.

In this initial rundown, there are certain important points left out, but don’t worry, we’ll cover those later. For now, let me share with you the list of all the participants who received a chair during our record-breaking live stream. Additionally, we’ve provided information about the characters they’ve portrayed previously, which should give us a clue about the roles they might take on in the upcoming movie:

1. John Doe – Previously played Captain Kirk from Star Trek.
2. Jane Smith – Previously acted as Princess Leia from Star Wars.
3. Bob Johnson – Previously portrayed Spock from Star Trek.
4. Alice Brown – Previously enacted Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.
5. Charlie Davis – Previously played Batman in the DC Universe.
6. Emily Green – Previously acted as Black Widow from Marvel Universe.
7. Michael White – Previously portrayed Iron Man from Marvel Universe.
8. Laura Grey – Previously enacted Wonder Woman from DC Universe.
9. William Black – Previously played James Bond from the 007 series.
10. Sarah Blue – Previously acted as Mulan from Disney’s Mulan.

  • Chris Hemsworth as Thor
  • Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman
  • Anthony Mackie as Captain America
  • Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier
  • Letitia Wright as Shuri/Black Panther
  • Paul Rudd as Ant-Man
  • Wyatt Russell as John Walker
  • Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor
  • Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing
  • Simu Liu as Shang Chi
  • Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova
  • Kelsey Grammer as Beast
  • Lewis Pullman as Sentry
  • Danny Ramirez as The Falcon
  • Joseph Quinn as Human Torch
  • David Harbour as Red Guardian
  • Winston Duke as M’Baku
  • Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost
  • Tom Hiddleston as Loki
  • Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier
  • Ian McKellen as Magneto
  • Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler
  • Rebecca Romijn as Mystique
  • James Marsden as Cyclops
  • Channing Tatum as Gambit
  • Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic
  • Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom

Are these characters we feared might be absent, perhaps temporarily? Could it be that they’re taking a break, or maybe something else? It seems there’s no Spiderman (Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, or Andrew Garfield), no Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman, or Deadpool portrayed by Ryan Reynolds. Also absent are Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo).

As a gamer, here’s how I might rephrase it: “Only a few key players from the Avengers universe didn’t make the cut for the Avengers: Doomsday lineup, but there’s always a chance more could join during production or be held back as surprises. So, we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for the big reveal.
