The film might not be released until May 1, 2026, but Marvel Studios is already starting to prepare for filming. Considering the scale of Avengers: Doomsday, plenty of work must be done, especially with such a large cast.
The movie is expected to feature all manner of characters from the MCU, including some interesting cameos via the multiverse. Robert Downey Jr. has already been confirmed to be returning in order to play Doctor Doom, but he’s not the only original Avengers actor who is set to be involved in Avengers: Doomsday.

Avengers Doomsday Should Feature This Forgotten MCU Star
Avengers: Doomsday is set to have a huge cast, and that should feature a forgotten MCU star.
That’s because Chris Hemsworth has reportedly been spotted in London ahead of Avengers: Doomsday filming, according to Comicbookmovie.com. The blockbuster MCU film is expected to begin filming in the United Kingdom, and Hemsworth is among several MCU actors who have now landed in England ahead of it, with Sebastian Stan and co-director Joe Russo having also been spotted in the area. Of course, there is a chance they could all be in the United Kingdom for various other projects, but the timing hints at them being around for the upcoming MCU project.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to have a massive cast of characters as Marvel Studios looks to wrap up the multiverse saga. Thor hasn’t been officially confirmed at this stage, but he is one of the original Avengers. Therefore, most fans will be heading into the movie under the presumption that he’s going to be involved in some capacity. Whether that ends up being a significant role or just a more minor appearance remains to be seen, but the iconic MCU hero should be showing up at some stage throughout the movie.
Adding Thor will provide plenty of legitimacy to whatever the Avengers lineup ends up looking like, which is a complete mystery at this stage. After the impact of Avengers: Endgame, it isn’t clear who currently is an Avenger, which hasn’t been the case in the past. However, having someone like Thor return to be part of the team will instantly allow moviegoers to settle in due to the familiarity of the character in that position. He also could have a connection to explore within the multiverse due to Loki’s involvement in it from the hit Disney Plus television show.
Regardless of what Thor’s role will be, he’s one of the most prominent characters in the MCU, and Hemsworth is one of the top stars that Marvel Studios has available to tap into. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that he would be involved in some capacity. Doing so will connect with audiences and capture attention in trailers or on movie posters, and that’s something that Marvel Studios will be aiming to achieve in the build-up to Avengers: Doomsday. Plus, having someone who is so deeply rooted in everything the Avengers have gone through will be a positive situation for the film. The fact Hemsworth is in town also proves that filming is set to commence soon, which will see the excitement surrounding the movie grow even more.
