New information about the filming of “Avengers: Doctor Doom” suggests that the film’s cast could be even bigger than announced. With additional filming underway, speculation is growing that directors Joe and Anthony Russo are adding cameos to the film. The movement behind the scenes was intensified after Jeremy Renner, Gavião Arqueiro’s performer, published an image of his uniform, fueling fans’ curiosity about possible surprising returns.
Characters who may reappear in the new Avengers film
The Marvel fan community is paying attention to every sign, with the internet abuzz with debate about who else could join the already robust roster of heroes and villains. Many expect familiar faces from the Multiverse Saga and even central figures from previous phases of the MCU to make an appearance.
- Hawkeye (Clint Barton)
- Hulk (Bruce Banner)
- Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)
- Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)
- Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange)
- Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
- War Machine (James Rhodes)
Clint Barton: The enigmatic return of Hawkeye
Actor Jeremy Renner recently published an image of his Hawkeye uniform, accompanied by the character’s musical theme. The publication, without any further explanation, generated intense discussion, especially because it appeared during the period in which new reports about additional participation in the film began to circulate. While it may not mean anything, many see this as a strong hint considering Clint Barton is one of the original Avengers. It would be unusual to bring together so many veterans without including one of the team’s founding members.
Bruce Banner: The possible presence of the Hulk in new chapters
Another original Avenger who, officially, is not on the list of confirmed actors is the Hulk. However, persistent rumors mention that Mark Ruffalo had participated in the recent filming of “Avengers: Doctor Doom”. This information, although not confirmed by Marvel, indicates that Bruce Banner still has enough plots and character arcs to justify his presence in the narrative. If Doctor Doom challenges multiple universes simultaneously, the Hulk’s strength would certainly be a valuable asset.
Wanda Maximoff: Scarlet Witch and rumors of her appearance
The Scarlet Witch’s situation is complex, with Elizabeth Olsen having stated on several occasions that she did not participate in the recording of “Avengers: Doctor Doom”. Despite this, new rumors insist on putting Wanda in the film, with mentions even of her stunt double. Officially, there are no confirmations, but the character, who plays a central role in stories involving the Multiverse and powers capable of reconfiguring reality, is a strong candidate for an unexpected return, especially considering her ability to emerge when many consider her out of the picture.
Carol Danvers: Captain Marvel and the surprises promised by the directors
The absence of Carol Danvers from the initially announced cast was also noticed by fans. When asked about the absence of characters such as Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch, the Russo brothers, directors of the film, avoided giving details, but confirmed the existence of “surprises” in the plot. After playing a crucial role in “Avengers: Endgame”, Captain Marvel has enough power to be a key player in the confrontation against a threat of Doctor Doom’s caliber, making her appearance highly anticipated.
Stephen Strange: Doctor Strange and his undeniable importance in the Multiverse
It seems unlikely that a multiversal crisis of such proportions would happen without Stephen Strange’s involvement. Doctor Strange was one of the most relevant characters in the Multiverse Saga, and his last adventure ended precisely with the events of an incursion between universes. Although Benedict Cumberbatch is not in the officially revealed cast, the actor himself has already joked about his possible participation. His presence would be a relief to the logic of the plot, as his absence would, in itself, be a great surprise.
Peter Parker: Spider-Man and the dramatic reunion with Doctor Doom
Peter Parker, who debuted in the MCU in “Captain America: Civil War” and participated in the last two Avengers films, was also not announced in “Avengers: Doctor Doom”. However, his complex relationship with Tony Stark could add a deep dramatic layer to a meeting with Doctor Doom, if he retains Robert Downey Jr’s face. The sight of Peter confronting his former mentor in his greatest enemy is a moment that Marvel knows is highly desired by viewers, with the potential for intense emotions.
James Rhodes: War Machine and the dilemma of the villain with a familiar face
James Rhodes, War Machine, would perhaps be one of the characters most impacted by Doctor Doom’s appearance. Rhodey spent years alongside Tony Stark, present since the beginning of the MCU. Placing him against a villain with the face of his best friend would create a huge dramatic opportunity for the plot. Don Cheadle, however, is not confirmed, and the latest information suggests that his return may not happen anytime soon. It would be a significant loss to the narrative, as no one else would deserve to question why Doctor Doom looks like Tony Stark.
Speculation continues to rage as Marvel maintains mystery over the full cast. The strategy of keeping surprises for the public is a hallmark of the studio, and “Avengers: Doctor Doom” promises to maintain this tradition.
