'avengers: Doomsday' Cast Includes Hemsworth's Thor, Mackie's Cap, Fantastic Four And Original X-men
Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Anthony Mackie's Captain America , Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, Paul Rudd's Ant-Man and Tom Hiddleston's Loki are all back in the Avengers ensemble, where they'll be joined by several of cinema's original X-Men.
The five veterans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are in the cast of 2026's "Avengers: Doomsday," Marvel announced in a series of social media videos that the company rolled out slowly on Wednesday.
Patrick Stewart, 84, who played Professor X in the Fox's early 2000s "X-Men" films, and 85-year-old Ian McKellen, who played his arch-nemesis Magneto, are also in the "Doomsday" cast as Disney and Marvel seek to take advantage of the acquisition of Fox's movie library. Kelsey Grammer, who played Hank "Beast" McCoy, was also announced, as was Rebecca "Mystique" Romijn, James "Cyclops" Marsden and Alan "Nightcrawler" Cumming.
Their characters were taken on by younger actors in the 2010s "X-Men" series reboot, and their inclusion is sure to cause serious fan speculation about the direction and timelines of "Avengers: Doomsday."
The more senior superheroes will be joined by more recent additions, including some who have yet to make their MCU debuts.
