The news that Avengers: Doomsday starts filming and that we got 27 actors revealed in a live stream instead of San Diego Comic-Con is insane. When the stream ended Marvel Studios replied to a reaction from RDJ under an Instagram post that “there is always room for more…”.
In December it was reported by TheWrap that Chris Evans will return for Avengers: Doomsday, probably playing a different character. Evans denies those reports.
Who do you think is missing in this cast and what or your theories?
