Agent, Red Guardian, and Taskmaster.

Given that Vanessa Kirby is already in the line-up of chairs, all signs are pointing that way.

He recently revealed thathe’d been thinking a whole lot about the Thanus theory.

In fact, Avengers 5 was originally called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

Another expected name has joined the line-up too as Wyatt Russell is the next chair to be announced.

At the end of Wakanda Forever, Namor was defeated by Shuri and her team.

However, we’ll have to wait and see whether this alliance holds going into Avengers: Doomsday.

One thing is for sure he’ll be seeing Shuri again.

Just what are the Russos cooking up?

Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s chair in Avengers Doomsday cast announcement

He’s one of the few remaining original Avengers in the MCU and his return is certainly interesting.

However, might Avengers: Doomsday be the end of the road for him?

“Hemsworth told Vanity Fair.

“I feel like it probably warrants that.

I feel like it’d probably be the finale.

But that’s not based on anything anyone’s told me or any sort of plans.”

Kirby has already been announced for the Avengers: Doomsday cast, could Pascal and Quinn be coming soon?

This could be the connective tissue needed to link up theseMarvel Phase 6movies.

Fantastic Four is out on July 25.

All will be revealed then…

Shang-Chi finally returns!

Simu Liu has been confirmed as the next name in the Avengers: Doomsday line-up.

It’s not the long-delayed Shang-Chi 2, but, look, we’ll take it.

“I don’t think anything’s been impacted,“Liu told ScreenRant.

“I think we’re all… Pugh joins Wyatt Russell and Sebastian Stan, who have also been confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday too.

Joseph Quinn

However, while unsurprising, Pugh is always a great addition to any cast.

In fact, Stan previously said that she’s the best part of the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie too.

Okay, now it’s getting interesting.

David Harbour

Kelsey Grammer is the next name announced for the Avengers: Doomsday cast list.

Yes, we’re getting full-on X-Men in the MCU after some post-credits teasing and brief mentions so far.

Quinn is perhaps best known as Eddie Munsen from Stranger Things season 4, which launched him into superstardom.

Looks like another member of theThunderboltsis joining us on this, should we say, marvelous journey.

David Harbour is set to reprise his role as Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian in Avengers: Doomsday.

Alexei is the father of both Natasha and Yelena.

Tom Hiddleston

With Shuri, Namor, and M’Baku all returning, I’d say we’re in pretty good hands.

Patrick Stewart

Can you hear us screaming from here?

The screaming hasn’t stopped.

All is right in the world.

Ian McKellen

All is right in the world.

This is exciting stuff.

They play a perfect, adversarial pair.

Alan Cumming

Will more Fox-owned pre-MCU characters be announced next?

And will they become canon to the MCU?

Or are we entering another wild multiverse situation?

Rebecca Romijn

Only time will tell.

Whoa, yet again.

They’ll either be a multiversal or main fixture in the MCU, or they’ll be killed off.

James Marsden

We’re hoping for the former rather than the latter.

Are Channing Tatum’s Gambit dreams coming true…again?

It sure looks that way.

Channing Tatum

We’ll keep our eyes peeled for the rest of the announcements.

The beloved actor is set to make his MCU debut as Reed Richards aka Mr.

Fantastic inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps.
