Avengers: Doomsday is shaping as much as be one of many MCU’s greatest crossover occasions. That mentioned, a number of main heroes stay lacking regardless of its giant forged of heroes who’ve been confirmed so far.
Forward of an official trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, which is anticipated by the top of the 12 months, there are nonetheless some key heroes who’ve but to be confirmed as part of the MCU’s fifth main crossover film. With that in thoughts, listed below are 10 of the most important unconfirmed heroes we wish to see in Avengers: Doomsday, ranked from least to most necessary.
Star-Lord
Star Lord’s return to Earth on the finish of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 completely set the stage for Peter Quill to return and be a part of the Avengers of their subsequent massive disaster. Having left the Guardians to reconnect along with his grandfather, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s post-credits scene ends with the promise that “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.“
General, Quill’s cosmic expertise and grounded humanity might make him a helpful hero in a multiversal disaster. Even with out the remainder of the Guardians, Peter Quill might actually have a significant function in Avengers: Doomsday, and it could be very enjoyable to see Chris Pratt’s character reconnecting with heroes he first encountered in Avengers: Infinity Battle and Endgame.
Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) stays one of many MCU’s extra heavy hitters with a fairly spectacular powerset. Carol Danvers additionally possesses some robust cosmic information and will simply turn out to be a pure chief, making her fairly helpful throughout universe-level threats, as we noticed in Avengers: Endgame.
Likewise, Carol’s private connection to Monica Rambeau (who’s additionally on this record) would add further layers of emotional depth, paying off their story in 2023’s The Marvels. Given the presumed stakes of Doomsday, Carol’s absence as a robust Avenger could also be arduous to justify, even when her function isn’t central.
Kate Bishop’s Hawkeye
Kate Bishop’s Hawkeye represents the center of the MCU’s subsequent period and a brand new technology of heroes able to taking up the mantles of main legacy heroes (like Clint Barton).
Performed by Hailee Steinfeld, Bishop’s sharp instincts, spectacular abilities as an archer, and at all times entertaining character might simply assist make her a extra grounded presence in Doomsday and its multiverse-ending stakes.
Likewise, we final noticed Kate Bishop and Ms. Marvel teaming as much as assemble a brand new crew of Younger Avengers, which might be very thrilling to really see sooner or later within the MCU’s future (even when it would not find yourself taking place in Doomsday).
Scarlet Witch
Whereas Wanda Maximoff’s destiny arguably stays unresolved after 2022’s Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity, her connection to multiversal instability is simple.
Performed by Elizabeth Olsen, Wanda’s chaos magic and emotional complexity simply make her one of many MCU’s most compelling characters, and one of the crucial deserving to make a return to the cinematic universe.
Bringing Wanda into Avengers: Doomsday might permit for some much-needed redemption and closure, particularly as her household’s story has continued in initiatives like Agatha All Alongside and shortly in VisionQuest. The Scarlet Witch’s MCU return might additionally assist quantify the magical powers of Robert Downey Jr.’s Physician Doom if the 2 had been to conflict sooner or later within the upcoming crossover.
Hulk
Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is each a powerhouse and one of many MCU’s prime scientific minds as Bruce Banner. Though he hasn’t participated in a large-scale battle since Endgame, The Hulk is anticipated to look in 2026’s Spider-Man: Model New Day releasing forward of Doomsday.
Mixed with the rumors that the fourth Spider-Man film will see him reverting to the extra conventional Savage Hulk versus Good Hulk, Doomsday may very well be the right alternative for Banner to reassert his significance as a founding Avenger. Likewise, Hulk’s uncooked energy and Banner’s spectacular mind might each be very important in serving to to confront multiversal collapse.
Moon Knight
You possibly can’t go fallacious with Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight, and it is an absolute travesty that we nonetheless solely have one season of the Fist of Khonshu’s MCU present. So far as Avengers: Doomsday is anxious, Moon Knight’s supernatural edge might provide one thing new that the Avengers haven’t actually had earlier than, with Marc Spector being the dwelling avatar of an Egyptian moon god.
Likewise, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley would after all present layers of psychological richness, whereas Khonshu’s involvement would permit divine-level stakes to intersect with Doomsday’s multiversal battle. General, Moon Knight’s inclusion will surely assist deepen the supernatural basis the MCU has been slowly setting up.
Wolverine
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is by far one of the crucial iconic live-action X-Males, having entered the MCU’s Multiverse Saga through his look in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Contemplating that Doomsday can also be set to characteristic a number of returning X-Males actors from the unique Fox movies, bringing Jackman again to reunite with a number of mutant heroes looks as if a no brainer.
Wolverine’s presence as a ferocious veteran would make him good for a multiversal battle in Avengers: Doomsday. There’s additionally the potential that the MCU’s ongoing narrative about multiversal anchor beings may very well be continued by way of Jackman’s Wolverine as properly.
Spider-Man
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is concurrently a core emotional anchor of the MCU’s extra grounded storytelling, whereas additionally having prior expertise with multiversal mayhem as seen in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Method Residence.
After the third Spider-Man film, Peter Parker actually understands the dangers of multiversal interference greater than most heroes. With the fourth Spider-Man film releasing in July of subsequent 12 months earlier than Doomsday, maybe Model New Day will assist arrange the occasions of the fifth Avengers film (and Peter Parker’s involvement as a central Avenger).
By all accounts, it could actually really feel odd if Spider-Man wasn’t featured within the subsequent Avengers film, contemplating simply how in style he’s in contrast in relation to different confirmed MCU heroes. Likewise, it might be the right alternative to spotlight his ongoing progress, as Doomsday might actually place Spider-Man as a central chief throughout no matter multiversal crises are thrown the heroes’ manner.
Monica Rambeau’s Photon
Whereas she won’t be the most important MCU hero of all time, Monica Rambeau’s Photon (Teyonah Parris) nonetheless seems like a essential determine for Avengers: Doomsday’s narrative in relation to the remainder of the Multiverse Saga seen up to now.
In spite of everything, Monica’s disappearance into an alternate universe on the finish of The Marvels linked her on to the X-Males and the multiversal ties between realities (encountering Kelsey Grammar’s Beast, who has been confirmed for Doomsday).
It undoubtedly looks as if her involvement could be essential when it comes to unifying the MCU’s heroes of Earth-616 with no matter actuality Doomsday’s confirmed roster of X-Males heroes will likely be hailing from.
Physician Unusual
Physician Unusual is arguably the only most necessary unconfirmed hero for Avengers: Doomsday. No character understands the multiverse higher than the Grasp of the Mystic Arts, nor has extra direct expertise with the idea of incursions, the only greatest throughline menace in the whole Multiverse Saga so far.
Greater than possible, Physician Unusual’s absence would undoubtedly weaken the whole Multiverse Saga narrative as a complete. His experience, management, and narrative centrality concerning the higher multiverse at work make him important for Doomsday.
Physician Unusual can also be going to be necessary for establishing 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars (particularly if the film adapts the 2015 comics occasion, the place Physician Unusual aided Doom when he created Battleworld from the shattered multiverse’s numerous fragments).
Avengers: Doomsday is about to launch in theaters on December 18th, 2026 from Marvel Studios.
