Marvel Studios made a big splash today by unveiling their star-studded cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Earlier this morning, they hosted a live stream where a lineup of chairs were gradually revealed, showcasing the actors who will be joining forces in the eagerly awaited ensemble movie. Some of these revelations hint at the return of characters connected to Thunderbolts. Although the Thunderbolts team-up has yet to reach cinemas, certain members have already been confirmed for a comeback when the Avengers go head-to-head with Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. The stage is now set for a thrilling showdown that could shape the destiny of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The latest news about actors from the Thunderbolts team appearing in Avengers: Doomsday has made it evident that this film, directed by Jake Schreirer, serves as a precursor to the Russo Brothers’ upcoming crossover. Earlier Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) installments lacked connection, fueling worries about the franchise’s direction. However, with confirmation that Thunderbolts events will impact characters set to battle Doctor Doom next year, these concerns can be alleviated.
Who Will Return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?
Marvel Studios has revealed that “Avengers: Doomsday” will bring back David Harbour as Red Guardian, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes. It’s hinted that these characters might be the ones to make it through the next Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster. Although some characters from “Thunderbolts” may survive this movie, their roles in the Avengers’ upcoming mission are yet to be determined. Keep in mind, many of these characters are perceived as villains within the MCU’s public eye.
In the near future, the Thunderbolts, a collective of powerful individuals from various corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), will band together to confront an impending, unspecified danger. This team, under the guidance of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine – portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus – who heads the Central Intelligence Agency, has long harbored ambitions to spearhead her own Avengers squad. To that end, she’s even acquired the old Avengers Tower.
Despite the challenges they may face during their inaugural mission, the Thunderbolts must prepare themselves for a showdown with the most formidable villain the Multiverse has ever known.
In addition to those associated with the Thunderbolts, other characters set to reappear in “Avengers: Doomsday” are Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Letitia Wright as Shuri, and Anthony Mackie as Captain America. Scott Lang was last seen during the happenings of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania“. The upcoming sequel is slated to introduce a significant antagonist for the series’ Multiverse Saga, but unforeseen circumstances led Marvel Studios to shift focus towards the portrayal of Doctor Doom by Robert Downey Jr. The latest Captain America has been making waves on both the big screen and box office following the premiere of “Captain America: Brave New World“.

How Can Thunderbolts Lead Directly Into ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?
Brave New World,” it doesn’t guarantee a ready-to-go team when the need arises against an imminent, unstoppable danger.
In terms of their potential, the Thunderbolts might become an extremely formidable group. If a malevolent force seeks to annihilate the universe, any augmented person could be invaluable, disregarding their history. The predicament faced by the Thunderbolts may mirror that of the Suicide Squad in the DC Extended Universe. Should the government capture Yelena and her comrades, they could be compelled to confront Doctor Doom regardless of their sentiments towards the task. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), every available individual will be essential for protection as Doctor Doom might turn out to be more perilous than Thanos, played by Josh Brolin.
In the final reveal for the plotline of “Avengers: Doomsday,” the Thunderbolts will introduce Sentry as their wildcard character. Details about Lewis Pullman’s portrayal of the character are scant, but we do know he’ll reappear in the Russo Brothers’ upcoming crossover. If Sentry’s powers from the comics hold true, his aid might prove vital against Doctor Doom. The Thunderbolts will ultimately decide Sentry’s fate once he makes his debut: Will he end up incarcerated or injured? Or could his other persona, “The Void,” symbolize a significant aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Multiverse Saga in an unexpected way?
Viewers will learn more within a few weeks as the next Marvel Cinematic Universe film hits theaters; specifically, “Thunderbolts” is set to premiere on May 2nd, and “Avengers: Doomsday” follows on May 1st, 2026.
