'Avengers: Doomsday' Casting News and the State of the MCU

Podcast Episode 22

I’ve been wanting to get back to podcasting semi-regularly for some time now. Then the Avengers: Doomsday casting dropped yesterday and I had to talk about it. So I recorded myself talking to myself for your enjoyment.

I’m planning on doing another pod soon about the state of Star Wars, which is an ongoing concern.

The announced cast for Doomsday:

  • Chris Hemsworth as Thor

  • Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm / Invisible Woman

  • Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Captain America

  • Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier

  • Letitia Wright as Shuri / Black Panther

  • Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man

  • Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent

  • Tenoch Huerta Mejia as Namor

  • Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm / The Thing

  • Simu Liu as Shang-Chi

  • Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova

  • Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Hank McCoy / Beast

  • Lewis Pullman as Bob / Sentry

  • Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres / Falcon

  • Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch

  • David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian

  • Winston Duke as M'Baku

  • Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost

  • Tom Hiddleston as Loki

  • Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier

  • Ian McKellen as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto

  • Alan Cumming as Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler

  • Rebecca Romijn as Mystique

  • James Marsden as Scott Summers / Cyclops

  • Channing Tatum as Remy LeBeau / Gambit

  • Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic

  • Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom / Doctor Doom

Bestill my nerdy heart.

Balancing out my enthusiasm for the cast is my doubts about the rushed nature of the film and the short-term mentality of casting RDJ as Doctor Doom.
