MCU Characters That are Coming Back
Chris Hemsworth is back as Thor, the only original Avenger in this saga.
Anthony Mackie is back as Captain America, the new Sam Wilson, continuing his journey after taking the shield.
Tom Hiddleston returns as the God of Mischief himself, Loki.
Sebastian Stan plays Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, the old friend of Sam Wilson.
Paul Rudd is back again as Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man-lending a unique comic dimension mixed with heroism to the character.
Simu Liu is holding the mantle once again for Shang-Chi while continuing his journey in the MCU.
New Kids on the Block and Crossovers
Pedro Pascal is entering the MCU as Reed Richards or Mr. Fantastic; thus, the Fantastic Four are being initiated into the cinematic world.
Kirby lands Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, thus adding another member of the Fantastic Four. Patrick Stewart returns as Professor X, with Ian McKellen as Magneto; this would also integrate the legendary X-Men into the MCU.
The surprising statement was that Robert Downey Jr. returns to the MCU, not as Tony Stark but as the potent counterpoint-doctor Doom. This casting utilizes the multiverse idea to allow Downey to play a different character in the MCU.
Avengers: Doomsday will be directed by the Russo brothers, who have worked on previous Avengers films. The screenplay has been written by Michael Waldron, who has worked on Loki, reputedly to have a storyline tied intricately to the multiverse.
This ambitious ensemble aims to bridge back its success in the Infinity Saga era, pairing legacy characters and new heroes, thereby broaden the narrative horizon of the MCU.
