New Rockstars in the break room All right here's what we learned from these set chairs in this video The first set chair we saw was for Chris Hemsworth of course Thor We knew Thor would be part of this movie after we last saw him in Thor Love and Thunder because he had a cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine on the TVA screen crying And I assume we will learn why Thor was crying Next Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm the invisible woman of the Fantastic 4 Anthony Mackey as Captain America Sam Wilson last seen in Captain America:
Brave New World Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes formerly the Winter Soldier and recently an elected congressman as of the events of the Thunderbolts movie Leticia Wright as Sheri sister to Tchala and the current Black Panther after the events of Black Panther Wakanda forever Paul Rudd as Ant-Man Scott Lang whom we last saw fighting Kang the Conqueror and Ant-Man the Wasp Quantum Mania and he had a tiny little chair because he's a sweet little baby who just needs help distracting Kang Wyatt Russell as John Walker US agent a super soldier from the Falcon the Winter Soldier
and also part of the Thunderbolts lineup Tanoshua Mahia as Neymar leader of the undersea kingdom of Talocan rival nation to Wakanda from Black Panther Wakanda for Forever who had a memorable lump in that movie Evan Masakra as Ben Grim the thing of the Fantastic 4 Simulu as Shani from Shani and the Legend of the 10 Rings Florence Pew as Yolena Bova a former Black Widow agent of the Red Room who will also be in Thunderbolts Kelsey Grimmer as Hank McCoy the mutant beast who originally played the character in X-Men: The Last Stand and In Days
of Future Bast and returned relatively recently in the post-redit scene of 2023's The Marbvels in an alternate X-Men universe with Maria Rambo Binary and Monica Rambo Photon Lewis Pullman as Bob Reynolds Sentry a supercharged super soldier in the upcoming Thunderbolts film Danny Ramirez as Waqin Torres Falcon a US Air Force officer who has teamed up with Sam Wilson in Captain America: Brave New World Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm the Human Torch of the Fantastic 4 David Harbor as Lexi Shustikov Red Guardian a Russian super soldier from the Black Widow film and part of the Thunderbolts
lineup Winston Duke as Imbaku leader of the Jabari Mountain Tribe of Wakanda last seen in Black Panther Wakanda for Forever Hannah John Cayman as Ava Star Ghost the phase shifting villain from Ant-Man and the Wasp who's also part of the Thunderbolts lineup Tom Hiddston as Loki who has had many variants across the multiverse and we are pretty confident will be the variant L1130 the God of Stories who in the Loki finale overthrew the Kang variant He who remains so that God of Stories Loki could sit at the center of all time basically in the trunk
of the Idrasil time tree observing all the events across the sacred timeline Next Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier leader of the X-Men who of course played Professor X across most of the X-Men films and recently appeared in the alternate 838 universe as a member of the Illuminati and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and of course killed by the Scarlet Witch Next oh my god Ian Mckllen as Eric Lyncher Magneto the metal manipulating villain from the Fox X-Men films last seen in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past and still believed to be alive
in some universe either Deadpool's universe 105 or Beast's universe from the Marvels might be the same universe This of the lineup was the first actor announced who had not been seen prior in an MCU film And it's just insane that this 85-year-old legend is coming back Of course we know Hugh Jackman will be doing this till he's 90 Next Alan as Kurt Vogner Nightcrawler the teleporting mutant who appeared only in 2003's X2 X-Men United part of one of the most memorable Marvel movie scenes ever And of course Alan a legend of stage and screen and
is having a big star moment as the host of the US version The Traitors Next Rebecca Roma as Raven Darkholm Mystique the shape-shifting mutant from the Fox X-Men films Last seen as a cameo in X-Men First Class as an older form of the version of Raven played by Jennifer Lawrence and that rebooted cast Next James Marsden as Scott Summer Cyclops from the Fox X-Men films Still alive in the revised 2024 timeline at the end of Days of the Future Past when the timeline retconed what was his death in X-Men: The Last Stand Next Channing Tatum
as Remy Leau Gambit the explosive projectile flinging mutant who made a name for himself in Deadpool and Wolverine and had a missable cameo with a deleted scene showing a sling ring portal opening and glowing upon his face offcreen And then our hero and villain Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards Mr Fantastic of the Fantastic 4 and Robert Downey Jr as an alternate universe Victor von Doom The stream ended with the studios elephant doors opening and Downey struting in sitting in the final set chair and shushing us as if to say quiet on set because the final
card said Avengers Doomsday is now in production as the movie is currently shooting over in London So Marvel announced all this through a YouTube live stream that showed these set shares of these actors names one by one every 12 minutes or so accompanied by audio of their characters theme music from their past Marvel films And it sounds like the Avengers music that plays in this might be a new version from Alan Sylvestri that is specific for Avengers Doomsday Now you'll notice not included in this lineup who we have seen in MCU movies and we thought
would be part of this movie Tom Holland Peter Parker Spider-Man we assumed would be in this cast but if he's not in Doomsday it allows the movie that's coming after Doomsday Spider-Man 4 to be a street level story line before the multiversal crises kick in And after Spider-Man No Way Home was such a multiverse movie it'd be kind of fun to see Peter Parker as just a street level hero teaming up with people like Daredevil taking on villains like Wilson Fiss Also not included in this lineup Benedict Cumberbatch Dr Strange Of course last seen as
what was the precursor to all these events Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Now Benedict Cumberbatch said he will be in this film after he initially said that he would not be at Sundance So we feel confident that a future update will include him Also not included Elizabeth Olsen want to maxim off the Scarlet Witch Now Elizabeth Olsson claimed this week that she will not be in Doomsday or Secret Wars but you know we don't believe her Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson Deadpool not included in this lineup Neither was Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner
Hulk or Jeremy Rener as Hawkeye or Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanov or Chris Evans as Steve Rogers But Chris Evans was confirmed to be playing some role in this movie along with Haley Atwell Hugh Jackman as James Logan Howlett aka Wolverine not included Benedict Wong as Wong the current sorcerer supreme of the 616 universe not included Chris Pratt as Star-Lord Peter Quill last seen on Earth at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 not included here Neither were any of the Guardians of the Galaxy who we saw in volume 3 Deny Gerra as
Aoy former leader of the Dormal of Wakanda now part of the Midnight Angels in Wakanda Forever Not here Neither was Tiona Paris as Monica Rambo Photon who we saw with Beast in the Marvel Iman Vani as Camala Khan Miss Marvel last seen in the Marvel not included here but we think she might show up at Daredevil And Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury last scene in the Marvels and Secret Invasion not included Also not included were others who we thought might show up based off of some of the names we were getting Halle Barry as
Aurora Monroe Storm from the Fox X-Men films not included Neither was Tom Kansson as Gene Gray or Anna Pacquin as Rogue or you know Toby Magcguire as Peter Parker Spider-Man or Andrew Garfield as that version of Peter Parker Spider-Man I don't think the chairs we saw in this announcement represent the full cast I think we will get another announcement of additional names that could come this summer at Comic- Con So here's what we can determine from this announcement Avengers Doomsday is going to be a big X-Men movie And I think we can consider this plot
to be an Avengers versus X-Men story The 616 universe versus the 10005 universe The 616 Avengers including Sam Wilson Captain America Walking Tourist Falcon Shanqi Ant-Man Shuri Mbaku Neymar and the Thunderbolts versus the 10005 X-Men including Professor X Magneto Cyclops Mystique Nightcrawler Gambit and Beast The question is where do the Fantastic 4 line up there are they a neutral middle ground or do they align with the 616 heroes because I think watching these heroes fight we are not meant to pick a side They want us deciding which heroes we want to win this It's clear
that these Avengers versus X-Men have been pitted against each other by Dr Doom Because Petra Pascal and Robert Downey Jr listed last I think suggests that these are our hero versus villain of the story It's going to be a Reed Richards versus Dr Doom conflict We know Fantastic 4s will begin their story in an alternate universe but that universe will probably get destroyed by the end of that movie and they will cross over into the 616 universe The Russo brothers have said that their version of Dr Doom played by Robert Downey Jr will be a
flawed hero the way Thanos was And really casting him was their big idea for this movie They confirmed that they will adapt both the 1985 Beyond version of Secret Wars and the 2015 Jonathan Hickman Secret Wars but doing their own version of the story Deadpool and Wolverine had an Easter egg of Hickman Secret Wars number five that showed God Emperor Doom on the cover Owen Reese Molecule Man is a big part of that 2015 story line He's a trigger being who's in every universe that Dr Doom is trying to locate a being that triggers that
universe's destruction It seems like Marvel Studios though is replacing that idea with the concept of anchor beings that was established in Deadpool and Wolverine Hearing that Wakanda and Neymar and the Fantastic 4 are going to be a big part of this movie makes me feel like we might open the story similarly to Jonathan Hickman's opening to Time Runs Out that has the Illuminati and Black Panther witnessing an incursion over the 616 universe Now the Captain America 4 director Julius Ona hinted that Marvel Studios at one point had a plan to introduce the 616 Illuminati in
Captain America 4 and I made a video speculating who that lineup could be and how that lineup could get slaughtered in this movie I still think that's possible Now there was some recent concept art that leaked Big spoiler warning here However the Russo brothers confirmed that it is okay for us to look at this art and speculate about it openly because they say it's not official art for their movie just hypothetical concept art But this art includes depictions of God Emperor's Doom Kingdom in his throne room with Sheriff Doctor Strange at his side Also a
Mud Kingdom Hulk village and what looks like a new Black Panther potentially But I think Doomsday and Secret Wars will show Dr Doom turning the void into his multi- kingdom battle world that we saw in the 2015 Secret Wars that includes just a fascinating Fortnite style map of realms including even a divided Manhattan All we've really confirmed about Robert Downey Jr.'s version of Dr Doom is the phrase new mask task which suggests that they intentionally cast this actor who played the MCU Infinity Saga frontman Tony Stark as just a variant villain The task it seems
will be to put a suit of armor around a world or a universe I pitched a possible intro to this film inspired by the opening act montage of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer which I think is a movie that inspired casting Robert Downey Jr in this villainous role An opening that could show Dr Doom as just a desperate genius scientist from a doomed universe who searches the multiverse and moves across various doomed worlds to try to save his own And I think part of his plan will be to pit the 616 Avengers against the 10005 X-Men And
if you've been watching New Rockstars lately you know I'm obsessed with this theory that the Statue of Liberty will be the key to it all because the Statue of Liberty has shown up in every one of these Marvel movies including that original 2000 X-Men film And we know it's going to show up in Fantastic 4: First Steps and played a big role in Spider-Man No Way Home Now I'm not sure if this announcement confirms it but the mystery X-Men universe that we saw Beast in in that postredit scene of the Marvels could be a liveaction
version of the animated X-Men universe or maybe it's just that same one universe from the Fox X-Men films and from Deadpool and Wolverine But Tom Hston returning is a very big deal It tells us that the sacred timeline visuals from the Loki series and just the setting of the TVA and the void will be the logical mechanism and the setting of how these universes connect and collide Since the TVA and Deadpool and Wolverine could observe both the events on the 616 universe what they call the sacred timeline and the separate Fox X-Men 10005 universe We
know that there is one shared TVA in the multiverse and one void in the multiverse And Loki's current status as a god of stories will be the connective tissue to it all I actually think Dr Doom is going to burn down the etheril time tree and God of Stories Loki is going to grasp whatever strands of the secret timeline he can to try to save parts of that universe Now Jonathan Major as Kang was unsurprisingly not listed as the studio moved away from the actor and really the Kang character after Major's legal troubles with the
release of Major's film magazine Dreams There has been some attempts by the actor and his press team to revive his career But you know some audio the actor admitting that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend made his Marvel return even less likely I think Avengers Doomsday could feature the deaths of most of these X-Men characters were announced so that Secret Wars could open a door for a new mutant kingdom within Battle World to be introduced that includes a new recasted lineup of the X-Men and these will be the X-Men who will be the stars of the Mutant
Saga Beyond Secret Wars Now obviously we're going to be making a ton of videos about this information in the weeks ahead Please watch our live stream reactions on the breakroom That was such a fun way to spend our day Comment down below with your thoughts Follow me Eddie Avost and subscribe to all the channels in the New Yorkers network for breakdowns and news coverage of everything you love Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time Bye
