The Marvel Cinematic Universe is entering its sixth phase, and one of the most critical films in this chapter will be Avengers: Doomsday. During a nearly five-and-a-half-hour livestream, Marvel announced the blockbuster’s cast – and there was no shortage of genuine surprises.

The Avengers have been scattered ever since the Multiverse Saga began, pretty much all going their separate ways after the Battle of Earth against Thanos (Josh Brolin), and it seems as though not many are returning to fight Doom. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is one of only three official Avengers confirmed to appear so far.
