Marvel Studios Plans Avengers: Doomsday With Multiverse Integration, Some Fan Favorites Excluded

Marvel Studios is gearing up for Avengers: Doomsday, an unprecedented superhero crossover featuring the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and potentially the Young Avengers, with over 25 characters confirmed. However, key heroes like Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch reportedly won't appear in this film but will play major roles in Avengers: Secret Wars instead, with speculation about other versions of Spider-Man possibly featured. Actor David Dastmalchian, known for his roles as Veb and Kurt in the Ant-Man franchise, has expressed eagerness to return for Avengers: Doomsday, emphasizing that Veb's linguistic skills are essential for a multiverse storyline involving the Fantastic Four. Dastmalchian also suggested his character Kurt could assist with technology at Avengers HQ, and he hopes Marvel will incorporate more unconventional, 'horror and weird' characters into future MCU projects. These insights underline Marvel's expanding multiverse saga and its potential to integrate lesser-known, supporting characters into major ensemble films. While official confirmations are pending, these developments indicate a broadening of the MCU's narrative scope and character roster.
