If Doomsday is really about the Multiverse, it wouldn’t be surprising if Loki has a major role in the upcoming movie due to what he did at the end of Loki Season 2. He was last seen by fans sacrificing himself by becoming the God of Stories for the sake of saving the multiverse.
Avengers: Doomsday is being directed by Avengers: Endgame filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo from a screenplay written by Stephen McFeely. The latest installment will feature the return of Marvel vets Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, with Chris Evans rumored to appear. However, this time, the Oppenheimer actor will be playing a completely different role in the form of Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom. The ensemble cast will also include Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul Rudd, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Letitia Wright, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, and Danny Ramirez.
The fifth installment will also feature the return of X-Men stars Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit. Following the movie’s viral casting announcement video, Feige previously confirmed they haven’t really revealed the entire cast yet, teasing more casting announcements in the future.
