Avengers: Doomsday’s initial cast list is missing some big names and/or heavy-hitters

Many, many heroes, actually.

Spider-Man

Arguably the biggest omission fromDoomsday’s initial cast reveal.

So, why not include Jansen and Berry as well?

Peter Parker seemed like a shoo-in for Avengers 5

The absence of these two green, mean machines, then, is also quite perplexing.

Speaking of which…

6.

She was fantastic in the hero’s self-titledDisney+series and stole the show in the much malignedThe Marvelsmovie.

It would’ve made sense, then, for Khan to be drafted into theDoomsdayfold.

Like Bishop, Khan is nowhere to be seen on the cast roster.

Indeed, he voiced an alternate reality’s Beast in The Marvels' post-credits scene.

Captain Marvel

Lastly onThe Marvelsfront, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel was notably absent as well.

Still, Captain Marvel is one of the most powerful superheroes within the MCU.

Benedict Cumberbatch has already gone on record to claim Doctor Strange won’t feature.

Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters were also absent from the original cast reveal

Marvel confirmed he’d return at some point after the events ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.

Daredevil

This is the long shot to end all long shots.

One of thebest Disney+ shows' sophomore outing is expected to be released sometime in 2026, too.

Justice for bow and arrow-wielding heroes!

But, hey, I live in hope of seeing Daredevil inAvengers 5all the same!

We were told Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord would appear in future MCU projects, so why notDoomsday?
