So … the X-Men join the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although it remains to be seen exactly how. Marvel Studios went live with a live stream on Wednesday at 11 a.m. Instagram And YouTube This was finally unveiled as a casting announcement for 2026 Avengers: DoomsdayThe continuation of the MCU franchise of the Russo brothers. There were many well-known names in the mix, but the biggest surprise was the return of Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and several other known names from the X-Men films of the 2000s.
The livestream opened with Chris Hemsworth's name on a director of the canvas director. The official account of the studio on X posted the stream Without context except the word “announcement” and the text “take a seat”. The stream lasted five and a half hours, with the camera swiveling to reveal other chairs with other familiar names in intervals of around 12 minutes, each of which was accompanied by a stab with themed music from a relevant Marvel film. The stream ended at 4:30 p.m. Edt after unveiling Robert Downey Jr., who was sitting on the last chair in a long row.
This initially mysterious slow-burst composition revealed the first key line-up for the upcoming event film by Marvel Studios Avengers: DoomsdayWith Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and so many avenats and X-Men as Marvel, can contract and accompany CRAM on the screen.

But no, none of them appeared on the tour.
For a large part of the livestream run, the true charm was the rough live chat and the course of the memes on social media when Marvel fans tried to exceed each other for hours in order to express their impatience for the electricity in order to continue. The reaction of the fans to Marvel's methodology was predictable between excitement, frustration, interest and vocal apathy, with something like a party atmosphere among people who live in chat.
But with this complete line -up we now enter the phase in which fans deal with the selection and theorize how exactly this film will look because these specific people come together, and all Marvel characters who are still alive and actively in the MCU have been excluded from this special crossover. Exception to the theoretization will continue until 2026, when Avengers: Doomsday is planned for publication.
