Despite five hours of streamed casting announcements, there are still several characters and actors fans are surprised wont be in Avengers: Doomsday. (Read the full Avengers: Doomsday cast roster.) Some we knew about such as Elizabeth Olsens Scarlet Witch and Benedict Cumberbatchs Doctor Strange but the following omissions are notable given the cosmic cross-over nature of whats shaping up to be an Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four cinematic extravaganza.The Most Surprising Avengers and Marvel Characters Not Announced for DoomsdayMissing AvengersNo Spider-Man (not that anyone can remember who Peter Parker is now, mind you), no Hulk, no Hawkeye, no Nick Fury, no Rhodey (the real one we found out about in Secret Invasion). Not even Pepper Potts or Happy Hogan to tag along for old times sake. And while Captain Carter was reportedly in the mix at one point, Hayley Atwell wasnt among those announced today.X-Men X-CeptionsNo Hugh Jackman/Wolverine, no Halle Berry/Storm, no Famke Janssen/Jean Grey, no Anna Paquin/Rogue, no Ryan Reynolds/Deadpool. Ditto Colossus, Iceman, or any of the First Class incarnations of the X-Men. Oh, and no New Mutants either (remember them???).Asgard, Where Art Thou?While Chris Hemsworths Thor was the first announced cast member of this particular Avengers lineup, none of his fellow Asgardians whom he split from at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder seem to be involved save for the Loki Variant. So no Valkyrie, Korg, Miek or Lady Sif. Maybe his adopted daughter Love will show up though? And well see if Zeus or Hercules ever do catch up with Thor despite what was teased in the Love and Thunder post-credits scene.Guardians of the GalaxyStar-Lords return has been previously teased at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, so his inclusion in the Avengers ranks for Doomsday seemed likely. But alas neither Star-Lord nor any of the new Guardians lineup introduced in Vol. 3 Rocket, Groot, Kraglin, Cosmo, Adam, Phyla, and Blurp are part of this movie.Who Will Be the New Avengers in the MCU?The MarvelsCaptain Marvels importance in Endgame would have suggested that, as one of the most powerful Avengers, she would be in Doomsday. But with The Marvels tanking at the box office, none of those characters Ms. Marvel, Spectrum, Binary, or even Nick Fury were announced for Doomsday. This is all the more curious as we know Binary ended up in the X-Men universe with Kelsey Grammers Beast, who will be in the movie. In fact, theres a noticeable lack of female cast members overall in Avengers: DoomsdayMissing the MagicWhile Benedict Cumberbatch did say his Doctor Strange will be in Secret Wars but not Doomsday, its weird that such a cosmic event wouldnt see the MCUs reigning Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, show up. (We can assume Doc Strange and Charlize Therons Clea are off galavanting on some other plane as the events of Doomsday play out.) No Scarlet Witch or Agatha Harkness either.Disney Plus MinusTheres a decided lack of Disney+ show characters in Avengers: Doomsday. So no Daredevil, Punisher, Vision, Sylvie, Moon Knight, Echo, She-Hulk, Werewolf by Night, Agent Mobius or the TVA.Quantumania Fallout?Given the dismal box office and critical results of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it shouldnt be too surprising that Marvel is putting those characters, with the exception of Paul Rudds Scott Lang, on the sidelines for this installment. So no Hank Pym or Janet Van Dyne. And Evangeline Lilly previously announced that she was stepping away from acting so that might be another key reason why Wasp is sitting this one out.Eternals Are Not ForeverNot a one. Not even Harry Styles as Eros! This is probably not surprising since the film disappointed at the box office, but given the movies cliffhanger ending with Arishem and the fact that Captain America: Brave New World addressed the giant dead Celestial in the ocean, maybe well see Sersi, Kingo, Sprite (or not since she was made human in the end), Phastos, Makkari, Druig, and Thena show up in Avengers: Secret Wars instead.The Young AvengersThe MCU has been teasing a Young Avengers lineup for a few years now Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Skaar, Eli Bradley, possibly Iron Lad and TChallas son but not one of them is in Doomsday.Blade Didnt Make the CutThis shouldnt be surprising since they still havent shot the Blade movie with Mahershala Ali despite teasing him in Eternals. And while Channing Tatums Gambit (somehow) managed to survive to fight in Doomsday, Wesley Snipes Blade perished in Deadpool & Wolverine.There are a gazillion characters in the MCU but the aforementioned were the ones whose absence from the ranks of Avengers: Doomsday we found most noteworthy. Sound off in the comments about which omissions surprised or bummed you out the most.
