SPOILER ALERT: Some spoilers for ‘Thunderbolts*’ and possibly ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ below.

Back in April, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced at Robert Downey Jr.).”

That’s quite a promise! But now that ‘Anthony Mackie) has filed a copyright claim against the team for the rights to the name and is putting together his own group of Avengers.

Marvel has recently announced that Wilson will assemble his Avengers off screen, so the real question is who will be on his team in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’? Luckily, Marvel has also released many of the names of ‘Doomsday’s cast in a recent video stunt, which could, by process of elimination, give us a basic idea of who will be on Wilson’s team.

With other new and returning cast yet to be announced, Moviefone is breaking down the cast list to guess who could be on Sam Wilson’s Avengers team.

The ‘Thunderbolts’ are now the ‘New Avengers’

The end of the ‘Thunderbolts*’ sees Lewis Pullman) are the New Avengers.

With Pugh, Stan, Russell, John-Kamen, Harbour, and Pullman all confirmed to return for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, it is now clear that they will be referred to as the New Avengers and not the Thunderbolts, nor will they be of the team Sam Wilson is recruiting. In fact, it was also recently revealed that the ‘Thunderbolts*’ end-credit scene setting up the Fantastic Four’s Joe Russo.

Which ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ characters could be on Sam Wilson’s Avengers team?

Now that we know the Thunderbolts are the New Avengers, and assuming none of them will crossover to Sam’s new team, it’s not hard to have an idea who might be recruited by the new Captain America for his Avengers team.

We can also eliminate the cast of ‘Channing Tatum's Gambit could crossover, since he was not an "original" X-men from the previous films, but I think he will most likely be on the Mutants' side, especially because the character has no ties to the Avengers in the comics.

As a founding member of the original Avengers, it makes sense that Captain America: Brave New World’, so it's safe to say that you can expect to see him fighting as a member of Sam's new team in 'Doomsday'.

Besides Steve Rogers (Letitia Wright) helping to create his Captain America suit and wings. Now that she is the new Black Panther, I also assume she will be on the new team as well.

Actor Winston Duke has been confirmed to return for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ as M’Baku, and while it is possible for him to be recruited for Sam’s team along with Shuri, Feige’s CinemaCon comment mentions "Wakandans fighting against Doctor Doom", which makes me think he will be leading the Wakandans and not ing Sam’s team.

Having been introduced in ‘Mark Ruffalo), making his inclusion almost a forgone conclusion.

Of the announced cast, that just leaves Loki’, I’m guessing he won’t be a member of Sam’s team and instead saved for a different role in the movie.

Who could be on Sam Wilson’s Avengers team that has not been announced yet for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?

There have been rumors that Wong, who is now the Sorcerer Supreme in Doctor Strange’s absence, could appear in the movie. Rumors have also swirled around the eventual return of Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner/Hulk, and with their inclusion in the ‘Shang-Chi’ end credit scene, if they are added to the cast, all three characters could align themselves with Sam Wilson and his new team of Avengers.

There have also been rumors of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’. But, with Wong being the new Sorcerer Supreme, I doubt Strange and Clea will Sam’s team, and more likely, just like Loki, would have a different role in the plot of the film.

Finally, there have also been rumors about Avengers: Secret Wars’.

And with Renner’s recent ission that he declined returning for ‘Hawkeye’ season 2 due to having his salary cut in half by Marvel, his return to the franchise is completely up in the air. Even if he does return, Renner could be playing a multiverse version of his character and therefore not be ing Sam’s new team.

When will ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ be in theaters?

Marvel is planning to have ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ on screens on May 1st, 2026, followed by ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ on May 7th, 2027.
