**Los Angeles, CA** – Following Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday” casting announcement, several actors have taken to social media to express their excitement and confirm their involvement. The announcement has sent ripples through the MCU fanbase, revealing a blend of new and returning faces.
Joseph Quinn, set to debut as the Human Torch in “Fantastic Four: First Steps” this summer, expressed his delight at joining the MCU, hinting at a potential crossover with his “Warfare” co-star, Will Poulter (Adam Warlock from “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”). Poulter enthusiastically echoed Quinn’s sentiments, expressing his hope for a future team-up between the Fantastic Four and Warlock.
The news also confirmed the return of several original X-Men actors. Rebecca Romijn confirmed her return as Mystique with a cryptic social media post, while James Marsden (Cyclops) and Channing Tatum (Gambit) shared the Marvel Studios announcement with enthusiastic hashtags. Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X) also reposted the announcement, adding to the excitement. Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) has also previously acknowledged his involvement.
While Marvel Studios will reboot the X-Men franchise after “Avengers: Secret Wars,” the exact composition of the new team remains unclear. The possibility of a mix of both new and returning actors has generated considerable speculation, with the aging of some original cast members prompting discussions about the franchise’s future. Hugh Jackman, however, remains an exception given his ageless portrayal in “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
“Avengers: Doomsday” is slated for release in May 2026, followed by “Avengers: Secret Wars” in May 2027. The casting announcements have already ignited fervent anticipation among fans, setting the stage for what promises to be a monumental chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
