Avengers: Doomsday's cast has a stacked lineup of 60 MCU actors who could propel its story to new heights, which includes the likes of Anthony Mackie, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh. 

Avengers 5's cast is already making headlines due to the overwhelming number of actors that will be featured in the crossover movie. Interestingly, Avengers: Doomsday has 10 actors over 50 years old, and it will not just highlight characters from the 616-MCU since it will include characters from the wider Multiverse as well. 

Every Rumored & Confirmed Actor in Avengers: Doomsday Cast

Based on a report from Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic, the following are the rumored cast members who will appear in Avengers: Doomsday

Rumored/Reported:

Mark Ruffalo - Bruce Banner

While he is not part of the official cast announcement of Avengers: Doomsday during the Marvel Studios livestream, Mark Ruffalo is rumored to reprise his role as Bruce Banner in the fifth installment of the Avengers movie. 

Benedict Wong - Wong

Although it is still rumored, as the MCU's current Sorcerer Supreme, it is a no-brainer that Wong (played by Benedict Wong) will return to help fight the Multiversal threat in Avengers: Doomsday

Brie Larson - Carol Danvers

Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is another Avenger rumored to return in Avengers: Doomsday. Carol Danvers' looming comeback makes sense since she has unfinished business bringing Monica Rambeau home after being trapped in a different universe. 

Don Cheadle - James Rhodes
