Marvel Studios has officially revealed the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
The star-studded lineup features familiar MCU heroes, legendary X-Men characters, and new faces from the Fantastic Four. However, one notable absence has sparked speculation—Tom Holland was not included in the cast announcement.
During an extensive five-hour live-stream event, Marvel introduced the film’s major stars. The presentation began with Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as Thor and concluded with Robert Downey Jr., who will portray Victor Von Doom.
Other confirmed cast members include Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic.
Holland, who has portrayed Peter Parker since Captain America: Civil War (2016), has previously hinted at stepping away from the role. Despite this, Spider-Man 4 is reportedly in development, with Stranger Things star Sadie Sink rumored to be joining the cast. This has led to speculation that Spider-Man 4 could serve as Holland’s farewell to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Adding to the uncertainty, rumors suggest Marvel is planning to introduce Miles Morales in a live-action debut. This potential shift could mark a new chapter in Spider-Man’s cinematic journey, possibly explaining Holland’s exclusion from Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel Studios has yet to address Holland’s absence from the cast lineup, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates on his future within the franchise. As the release date approaches, speculation continues to grow regarding Spider-Man’s role in the next phase of the MCU.
While Tom Holland’s absence from Avengers: Doomsday raises questions, his future as Spider-Man remains uncertain. With Spider-Man 4 in development and speculation about Miles Morales entering the MCU, Marvel may be preparing for a major shift. Until an official announcement is made, fans can only wait to see what’s next for the web-slinger.
