Production for next May’s installment of the Avengers series began officially today (March 26th). To announce the cast of that film, Marvel did a live-stream that slowly revealed chairs one at a time of the names of those in the cast. A lot of the names were obvious, but some confirmed what many needs like me were hoping for. Let’s meet the cast.

The Obvious ones

• Robert Downey Jr
• Chris Hemsworth
• Paul Rudd
• Anthony Mackie
• Sebastian Stan
• Letitia Wright
• Simu Liu
• Danny Ramirez
• Tom Hiddleston

Thunderbolts* Spoilers

• Florence Pugh
• Wyatt Russell
• David Harbour
• Hannah John-Kamen
• Lewis Pullman

The Fantastic Four

• Vannesa Kirby
• Ebon Moss-Bachrach
• Joseph Quinn
• Pedro Pascal

Side Characters

• Winston Duke.
• Tenoch Huerta Meija (NAMOR!!!)

THE X-MEN!!!!!!

• Patrick Stewart
• Ian McKellan
• Alan Cumming
• Rebecca Romijn
• James Marsden
• Channing Tatum
• Kelsey Grammer

That is 25 names so far, and there is no certainly they are playing the same characters, just like RDJ is by playing Doom instead of Tony. One name we don’t see that has been heavily rumored is Chris Evans, and it is also puzzling that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman aren’t here too. Still, the OG X-Men being part of the cast is beyond awesome. With Doomsday leading right into Secret Wars the next year, this could be just as big as Infinity War and Endgame were if done right. Now it is the ever patient wait for the first trailer most likely this winter.
