Actor in Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel has published an official 15-title Disney+ watchlist for Avengers: Doomsday ahead of its December 18 release, but notable absences include X-Men: Days of Future Past and the entire Iron Man trilogy. The list contradicts the Russo brothers' claims that the film starts from "phase zero" with no homework required, as returning characters like Captain America, Doctor Strange, Professor X, and Magneto all demand prior knowledge.
Marvel Studios dominated Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with a cascade of major announcements including Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider, Black Panther 3 dated for December 2028, and a massive ensemble cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. The panel also confirmed Deadpool's return and debuted new Spider-Man: Brand New Day footage.
