AVENGERS DOOMSDAY ANNOUNCEMENT BREAKDOWN: Avengers vs X-Men Confirmed!

Welcome back to New Rockstars. I'm Eric. Boss. In breaking news, Marvel Studios. just announced their official cast for. Avengers Doomsday, or at least a lot of. them in an insane nearly 5-hour live. stream on their YouTube channel that we. followed over on the Breakroom channel. Go check out our reactions to all of. those. But here is just a summary and a. breakdown of everyone we know that will. be in this movie and what we can take. away from that in terms of what this. mystery plot will be. And basically, what we're looking at, folks, is an. Avengers versus X-Men conflict. and I. can't wait. Also available now on.

Audible is the latest in the Hunger. Games series, Sunrise on the Reaping by. Suzanne Collins. Yellowstone's Jefferson. White narrates. And I can't wait to hear. him bring Hitch Evernati's origin story. to life. Before I get into this, if you. really want to support New Rockstars, grab one of these new mask same task. pillows or one of the many great nerdy. gift options on our merch store, nerd. riot.shop. Like we got these Lumen mugs. if you love severance. So many great. ways to support New Rockstars in the. break room. All right, here's what we. learned from these set chairs in this. video. The first set chair we saw was.

for Chris Hemsworth, of course, Thor. We. knew Thor would be part of this movie. after we last saw him in Thor Love and. Thunder because he had a cameo in. Deadpool and Wolverine on the TVA screen. crying. And I assume we will learn why. Thor was crying. Next, Vanessa Kirby as. Sue Storm, the invisible woman of the. Fantastic 4. Anthony Mackey as Captain. America Sam Wilson, last seen in Captain. America: Brave New World. Sebastian Stan. as Bucky Barnes, formerly the Winter. Soldier, and recently an elected. congressman as of the events of the. Thunderbolts movie. Leticia Wright as. Sheri, sister to Tchala and the current. Black Panther after the events of Black.

Panther Wakanda forever. Paul Rudd as. Ant-Man Scott Lang, whom we last saw. fighting Kang the Conqueror and Ant-Man. the Wasp Quantum Mania, and he had a. tiny little chair because he's a sweet. little baby who just needs help. distracting Kang. Wyatt Russell as John. Walker, US agent, a super soldier from. the Falcon the Winter Soldier and also. part of the Thunderbolts lineup. Tanoshua Mahia as Neymar, leader of the. undersea kingdom of Talocan, rival. nation to Wakanda from Black Panther. Wakanda for Forever, who had a memorable. lump in that movie. Evan Masakra as Ben. Grim, the thing of the Fantastic 4.

Simulu as Shani from Shani and the. Legend of the 10 Rings. Florence Pew as. Yolena Bova, a former Black Widow agent. of the Red Room, who will also be in. Thunderbolts. Kelsey Grimmer as Hank. McCoy, the mutant beast, who originally. played the character in X-Men: The Last. Stand and In Days of Future Bast and. returned relatively recently in the. post-redit scene of 2023's The Marbvels. in an alternate X-Men universe with. Maria Rambo, Binary, and Monica Rambo. Photon. Lewis Pullman as Bob Reynolds, Sentry, a supercharged super soldier in. the upcoming Thunderbolts film. Danny. Ramirez as Waqin Torres, Falcon, a US.

Air Force officer who has teamed up with. Sam Wilson in Captain America: Brave New. World. Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, the. Human Torch of the Fantastic 4. David. Harbor as Lexi Shustikov, Red Guardian, a Russian super soldier from the Black. Widow film and part of the Thunderbolts. lineup. Winston Duke as Imbaku, leader. of the Jabari Mountain Tribe of Wakanda, last seen in Black Panther Wakanda for. Forever. Hannah John Cayman as Ava Star, Ghost, the phase shifting villain from. Ant-Man and the Wasp, who's also part of. the Thunderbolts lineup. Tom Hiddston as. Loki, who has had many variants across. the multiverse, and we are pretty.

confident will be the variant L1130, the. God of Stories, who in the Loki finale. overthrew the Kang variant He who. remains. so that God of Stories Loki. could sit at the center of all time. basically in the trunk of the Idrasil. time tree observing all the events. across the sacred timeline. Next, Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles. Xavier, leader of the X-Men, who of. course played Professor X across most of. the X-Men films and recently appeared in. the alternate 838 universe as a member. of the Illuminati and Doctor Strange in. the Multiverse of Madness and of course. killed by the Scarlet Witch. Next, oh my.

god, Ian Mckllen as Eric Lyncher, Magneto, the metal manipulating villain. from the Fox X-Men films, last seen in. 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past and. still believed to be alive in some. universe, either Deadpool's universe 105. or Beast's universe from the Marvels, might be the same universe. This of the. lineup was the first actor announced who. had not been seen prior in an MCU film. And it's just insane that this. 85-year-old legend is coming back. Of. course, we know Hugh Jackman will be. doing this till he's 90. Next, Alan. as Kurt Vogner, Nightcrawler,

the teleporting mutant, who appeared. only in 2003's X2 X-Men United, part of. one of the most memorable Marvel movie. scenes ever. And of course, Alan. a legend of stage and screen, and is having a big star moment as the. host of the US version, The Traitors. Next, Rebecca Roma as Raven Darkholm, Mystique, the shape-shifting mutant from. the Fox X-Men films. Last seen as a. cameo in X-Men First Class, as an older. form of the version of Raven played by. Jennifer Lawrence. and that rebooted. cast. Next, James Marsden as Scott.

Summer Cyclops from the Fox X-Men films. Still alive in the revised 2024 timeline. at the end of Days of the Future Past. when the timeline retconed what was his. death in X-Men: The Last Stand. Next, Channing Tatum as Remy Leau Gambit, the. explosive projectile flinging mutant who. made a name for himself in Deadpool and. Wolverine and had a missable cameo with. a deleted scene showing a sling ring. portal opening and glowing upon his face. offcreen. And then our hero and villain, Pedro Pascal, as Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic 4 and Robert.

Downey Jr. as an alternate universe. Victor von Doom. The stream ended with. the studios elephant doors opening and. Downey struting in, sitting in the final. set chair and shushing us as if to say. quiet on set because the final card said. Avengers Doomsday is now in production. as the movie is currently shooting over. in London. So Marvel announced all this. through a YouTube live stream that. showed these set shares of these actors. names one by one every 12 minutes or so. accompanied by audio of their characters. theme music from their past Marvel. films. And it sounds like the Avengers. music that plays in this might be a new. version from Alan Sylvestri that is.

specific for Avengers Doomsday. Now. you'll notice not included in this. lineup who we have seen in MCU movies. and we thought would be part of this. movie. Tom Holland, Peter Parker. Spider-Man, we assumed would be in this. cast, but if he's not in Doomsday, it. allows the movie that's coming after. Doomsday, Spider-Man 4, to be a street. level story line before the multiversal. crises kick in. And after Spider-Man No. Way Home was such a multiverse movie, it'd be kind of fun to see Peter Parker. as just a street level hero teaming up. with people like Daredevil taking on. villains like Wilson Fiss. Also not. included in this lineup, Benedict.

Cumberbatch, Dr. Strange. Of course, last seen as what was the precursor to. all these events, Dr. Strange in the. Multiverse of Madness. Now, Benedict. Cumberbatch said he will be in this film. after he initially said that he would. not be at Sundance. So, we feel. confident that a future update will. include him. Also not included, Elizabeth Olsen, want to maxim off the. Scarlet Witch. Now, Elizabeth Olsson. claimed this week that she will not be. in Doomsday or Secret Wars, but you. know, we don't believe her. Ryan. Reynolds as Wade Wilson Deadpool not. included in this lineup. Neither was. Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner Hulk or. Jeremy Rener as Hawkeye or Scarlett. Johansson as Natasha Romanov or Chris.

Evans as Steve Rogers. But Chris Evans. was confirmed to be playing some role in. this movie along with Haley Atwell. Hugh. Jackman as James Logan Howlett aka. Wolverine not included. Benedict Wong as. Wong, the current sorcerer supreme of. the 616 universe, not included. Chris. Pratt as Star-Lord Peter Quill, last. seen on Earth at the end of Guardians of. the Galaxy Volume 3, not included here. Neither were any of the Guardians of the. Galaxy, who we saw in volume 3. Deny. Gerra as Aoy, former leader of the. Dormal of Wakanda, now part of the. Midnight Angels in Wakanda Forever. Not. here. Neither was Tiona Paris as Monica.

Rambo Photon, who we saw with Beast in. the Marvel. Iman Vani as Camala Khan, Miss Marvel, last seen in the Marvel, not included here, but we think she. might show up at Daredevil. And Samuel. L. Jackson as Nick Fury, last scene in. the Marvels and Secret Invasion, not. included. Also not included were others. who we thought might show up based off. of some of the names we were getting. Halle Barry as Aurora Monroe Storm from. the Fox X-Men films not included. Neither was Tom Kansson as Gene Gray or. Anna Pacquin as Rogue or you know Toby. Magcguire as Peter Parker Spider-Man or. Andrew Garfield as that version of Peter. Parker Spider-Man. I don't think the.

chairs we saw in this announcement. represent the full cast. I think we will. get another announcement of additional. names that could come this summer at. Comic- Con. So here's what we can. determine from this announcement. Avengers Doomsday is going to be a big. X-Men movie. And I think we can consider. this plot to be an Avengers versus X-Men. story. The 616 universe versus the 10005. universe. The 616 Avengers including Sam. Wilson, Captain America, Walking Tourist. Falcon, Shanqi, Ant-Man, Shuri, Mbaku, Neymar, and the Thunderbolts versus the. 10005 X-Men, including Professor X,

Magneto, Cyclops, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Beast. The. question is, where do the Fantastic 4. line up there? Are they a neutral middle. ground, or do they align with the 616. heroes? Because I think watching these. heroes fight, we are not meant to pick a. side. They want us deciding which heroes. we want to win this. It's clear that. these Avengers versus X-Men have been. pitted against each other by Dr. Doom. Because Petra Pascal and Robert Downey. Jr. listed last, I think suggests that. these are our hero versus villain of the. story. It's going to be a Reed Richards. versus Dr. Doom conflict. We know.

Fantastic 4s will begin their story in. an alternate universe, but that universe. will probably get destroyed by the end. of that movie and they will cross over. into the 616 universe. The Russo. brothers have said that their version of. Dr. Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. will be a flawed hero the way Thanos. was. And really casting him was their. big idea for this movie. They confirmed. that they will adapt both the 1985. Beyond version of Secret Wars and the. 2015 Jonathan Hickman Secret Wars, but. doing their own version of the story. Deadpool and Wolverine had an Easter egg. of Hickman Secret Wars number five that. showed God Emperor Doom on the cover. Owen Reese, Molecule Man, is a big part.

of that 2015 story line. He's a trigger. being who's in every universe that Dr. Doom is trying to locate, a being that. triggers that universe's destruction. It. seems like Marvel Studios though is. replacing that idea with the concept of. anchor beings that was established in. Deadpool and Wolverine. Hearing that. Wakanda and Neymar and the Fantastic 4. are going to be a big part of this movie. makes me feel like we might open the. story similarly to Jonathan Hickman's. opening to Time Runs Out that has the. Illuminati and Black Panther witnessing. an incursion over the 616 universe. Now, the Captain America 4 director Julius. Ona hinted that Marvel Studios at one. point had a plan to introduce the 616.

Illuminati in Captain America 4. and I. made a video speculating who that lineup. could be and how that lineup could get. slaughtered in this movie. I still think. that's possible. Now, there was some. recent concept art that leaked. Big. spoiler warning here. However, the Russo. brothers confirmed that it is okay for. us to look at this art and speculate. about it openly because they say it's. not official art for their movie, just. hypothetical concept art. But this art. includes depictions of God Emperor's. Doom Kingdom in his throne room with. Sheriff Doctor Strange at his side. Also, a Mud Kingdom Hulk village and. what looks like a new Black Panther.

potentially. But I think Doomsday and. Secret Wars will show Dr. Doom turning. the void into his multi- kingdom battle. world that we saw in the 2015 Secret. Wars that includes just a fascinating. Fortnite style map of realms, including. even a divided Manhattan. All we've. really confirmed about Robert Downey. Jr.'s version of Dr. Doom is the phrase. new mask task, which suggests that they. intentionally cast this actor who played. the MCU Infinity Saga frontman Tony. Stark as just a variant villain. The. task, it seems, will be to put a suit of. armor around a world or a universe. I.

pitched a possible intro to this film. inspired by the opening act montage of. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which I. think is a movie that inspired casting. Robert Downey Jr. in this villainous. role. An opening that could show Dr. Doom as just a desperate genius. scientist from a doomed universe who. searches the multiverse and moves across. various doomed worlds to try to save his. own. And I think part of his plan will. be to pit the 616 Avengers against the. 10005 X-Men. And if you've been watching. New Rockstars lately, you know I'm. obsessed with this theory that the. Statue of Liberty will be the key to it. all because the Statue of Liberty has. shown up in every one of these Marvel.

movies, including that original 2000. X-Men film. And we know it's going to. show up in Fantastic 4: First Steps and. played a big role in Spider-Man No Way. Home. Now, I'm not sure if this. announcement confirms it, but the. mystery X-Men universe that we saw Beast. in in that postredit scene of the. Marvels could be a liveaction version of. the animated X-Men universe, or maybe. it's just that same one universe from. the Fox X-Men films and from Deadpool. and Wolverine. But Tom Hston returning. is a very big deal. It tells us that the. sacred timeline visuals from the Loki. series and just the setting of the TVA. and the void will be the logical. mechanism and the setting of how these.

universes connect and collide. Since the. TVA and Deadpool and Wolverine could. observe both the events on the 616. universe, what they call the sacred. timeline and the separate Fox X-Men. 10005 universe. We know that there is. one shared TVA in the multiverse and one. void in the multiverse. And Loki's. current status as a god of stories will. be the connective tissue to it all. I. actually think Dr. Doom is going to burn. down the etheril time tree and God of. Stories Loki is going to grasp whatever. strands of the secret timeline he can to. try to save parts of that universe. Now. Jonathan Major as Kang was.

unsurprisingly not listed as the studio. moved away from the actor and really the. Kang character after Major's legal. troubles with the release of Major's. film magazine Dreams. There has been. some attempts by the actor and his press. team to revive his career. But you know. some audio the actor admitting that he. assaulted his ex-girlfriend made his. Marvel return even less likely. I think. Avengers Doomsday could feature the. deaths of most of these X-Men characters. were announced so that Secret Wars could. open a door for a new mutant kingdom. within Battle World to be introduced. that includes a new recasted lineup of. the X-Men and these will be the X-Men.

who will be the stars of the Mutant Saga. Beyond Secret Wars. Now, obviously, we're going to be making a ton of videos. about this information in the weeks. ahead.
