After starring as Daredevil on the Netflix series, Cox reprised his role in , , and

Marvel has not confirmed Cox’s appearance in Doomsday. However, Cox’s Daredevil will headline Daredevil: Born Again, a Disney+ show premiering in March 2025. Having Cox appear in Doomsday fresh off Born Again makes sense in the MCU.

Per usual, Marvel remains extremely tight-lipped about the next two Avengers films: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Joe and Anthony Russo are returning from their Marvel hiatus to direct the two Avengers movies. After portraying Iron Man for over a decade, Robert Downey Jr. will play the primary antagonist, Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom.

The Fantastic Four — Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing — are going to be in Doomsday. Other notable additions to the Doomsday cast are Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell, with the latter playing Agent Carter. After playing Captain America, Evans’ character in Doomsday remains under wraps.

Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on May 1, 2026.
