Yesterday morning Marvel Studios went live on a multi-hour livestream focused on stage chairs revealing the entire cast of next year’s “Avengers: Doomsday”
The video went on for over five hours, with nearly thirty chairs.

The chairs confirm the return of The Fantastic Four, some classic X-Men, the Thunderbolts and Captain America’s new Avengers team.
BUT: while this is a big list, they aren’t done yet. As there was leaked art from the film confirming other characters, and there are some from call sheets and other sources confirming more characters.
Even Marvel themselves have teased more.
SO, WHO ELSE?
To start, Benedict Cumberbatch is nowhere to be seen, but can be inferred from the ending of the last installment of Doctor Strange 2 he will show up. (The actor himself has also confirmed this. And the concept art.)
Deadline confirmed Chris Evans will return for the film, but sources still don’t know the role.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is pretty much a guarantee.
The Young Avengers/Champions will also get to let loose with Iman Vellani, Hailee Steinfeld, Xochi Gomez and more.
Mark Ruffalo and Tatiana Maslany will return as Bruce Banner and his cousin Jennifer Walters, as per leaked art.
Additionally, Paul Bettany, Benedict Wong and Chris Pratt were in that art as well.
Ana de Armas and Hayley Atwell were also seen in a London call sheet.
WHAT CAN WE LEARN?
Not much. We have a lot of superheroes confirmed, but a incomplete Avengers roster and a X-Men roster of Professor X, Cyclops, Gambit and Nightcrawler? Jean Grey, Storm and Wolverine are surely on their way to finish out that 97′-esque roster.
We’ll just have to see.
Also Ana de Armas I would bet on playing Doom’s mother, who is Doom’s main motivation most times in why he does what he does.
