Rogue

With Her Powers, She Is A Valuable Addition To The Avengers

• First appearance in a movie: X-Men

Although this heroine had a brief appearance at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Rogue took part in several X-Men teams that confronted Doctor Doom in Marvel comics. With past X-Men names confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, there is a chance for her return, since she would be a powerful opponent for the super-villain.

Considering Gambit’s presence in the film, they form one of the most beloved and strong couples in Marvel, and could arise as an unbeatable pair against Doom. Also, Rogue became an Avenger in recent Marvel comics, which might raise expectations of the heroine appearing in different hero teams across the MCU.

Deadpool

With The Right Motivations, He Would Be One Of The Avengers Greatest Allies

• First appearance in a movie: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

After the success of Deadpool & Wolverine and the anti-hero’s work with groups like the X-Men, Wade Wilson might be one of the most surprising additions to Avengers: Doomsday. With a more violent style and sharp humor, the mercenary could provide a fresh tone for the Avengers, and also spark classic comic-book moments, including those with the Thunderbolts.

Further fueling hopes for the anti-hero’s mention are confirmations of classic X-Men names, who have been part of Deadpool since his first film and reached a peak in the latest one. By adding fun and nostalgic dynamics with the mercenary, Wade has become one of the most anticipated figures to join new MCU films.

Scarlet Witch

Chaos Sorceress, She Is One Of The Most Powerful In Marvel

• First appearance in a movie: Avengers: Captain America and The Winter Soldier

Even though Scarlet Witch’s fate has remained uncertain since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, she would still be one of the most important heroines who could appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Wanda had not revealed her full powers when she battled the Mad Titan in Avengers: Endgame, so she would be a challenger who could push Doctor Doom.

This possibility grows stronger because the character was shown alive in ATV comics, kept in a stasis chamber discovered by Gwen Stacy, which raises fan expectations about the heroine’s triumphant return to the MCU. With Billy introduced in Agatha Harkness, her return and reunion with her children would be incredible to see.

7

Moon Knight

Though Solitary, He Has Faced The Villain In Several Comics

• First appearance in a movie: Moon Knight

With one of the most acclaimed series from Marvel, Moon Knight is among the most formidable heroes of the Avengers. Even though he has not appeared in MCU films, his rich mythology and strong abilities could make him a unique opponent against Doom, given that he has faced the villain in the comics.

Despite the power gap, Moon Knight was determined to face the villain in Vengeance of the Moon Knight, even if he was underestimated. In Infinity Warps: Arachknight, they clash more directly, even in alternate forms, which is not impossible given the multiverse frequently explored in MCU films.

6

Wasp

With Strategy, She Would Be A Valuable Ally To The Avengers

• First appearance in a movie: Ant-Man

As one of the most vital members of the Avengers, The Wasp could be a key ally in Avengers: Doomsday. In the comics, she played a major role in Secret Wars, where the villain saw her as a worthy foe and captured her, sparking intriguing developments that might be adapted in the MCU.

She appeared in other Avengers films and had her story developed in Ant-Man, so there is nothing stopping her daughter, Hope, from taking her mantle and evolving the heroine for the new Avengers lineup in Doomsday. Known for leadership and strategy, she could be an essential heroine to face the villain in this fresh saga.

5

Wolverine

Based On The Comics, He Might Side With The Villain

• First appearance in a movie: X-Men

Leader of the X-Men in Marvel films, this hero is one of the most deserving to appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Logan’s legacy in the Marvel universe is huge, influencing its tales even after his passing, but he finds his spotlight among the X-Men, leading the team in several film rosters and standing as one of the most awaited faces for a comeback.

In the comics, Wolverine starred in many moments alongside Doctor Doom, where they formed intriguing and complex alliances, including a partnership in What If that ended with betrayal. With his impact on Marvel, he could add serious weight to Doom’s threat, which promises to be one of the hardest challenges the Avengers will face.

4

Hercules

The Demigod’s Strength Drew The Attention Of Marvel’s Biggest Villain

• First appearance in a movie: Thor: Love and Thunder

Appearing at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder, this hero could explore his mythology in the MCU. Seen as one of the strongest in Marvel, Hercules directly battled the villain and prevailed in the Marvel Two-In-One Annual, despite his foe’s attempts at manipulation, making the demigod a formidable rival for Doctor Doom.

This super-villain has shown interest in the hero many times in the comics, such as in The Incredible Hercules, where he watches the demigod defeat the gods on Olympus. He seeks those powers and threatens to seize them, a storyline that MCU films could adapt for epic battles between two figures who share a long history in Marvel.

3

Spider-Man

The Greatest Superhero Who Might Be In The New MCU Film

• First appearance in a movie: Avengers: Civil War

Even though his name is not confirmed, Spider-Man is one of the heroes who most deserves to be in Avengers: Doomsday. Given Peter Parker’s success and influence in the MCU, plus his past role among the Avengers, he is among the strongest and brightest heroes, able to face the super-villain directly thanks to his development in recent films.

This hero does not need to return as Peter Parker, since it could be the perfect time to introduce Miles Morales, which might raise fan anticipation for the MCU and match the scale of the last Spider-Man film. Not to mention his encounters with Doctor Doom in the comics, where he escaped the villain’s grip, as seen in Amazing Spider-Man, foiling the super-villain’s schemes.

2

Daredevil

This Hero Sets Up A Surprising Plot With The MCU’s New Villain

• First appearance in a movie: Daredevil

Daredevil got a new Disney series, but he could rightfully shine in Avengers: Doomsday. Even though he is one of the most grounded vigilantes in Marvel, Matt Murdock had memorable encounters with Doom in several comics, which could be tapped if the character were confirmed for the new Avengers film.

In Daredevil comics, Doom switches bodies with the hero to live as an ordinary man, while Matt uses the villain’s resources to fight crime in a fresh way, spotlighting their contrasts in a surprising story. He also battles the villain alongside Spider-Man in other issues.

1

Silver Surfer

The Greatest Superhero Who Might Be In The New MCU Film

• First appearance in a movie​​​​​​​: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Through memorable interactions with Doctor Doom in the comics, Silver Surfer is the hero who most deserves to appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Given his immense power, the villain exploited his cosmic abilities in The Fantastic Four comics, creating a conflict that future MCU films could develop into a layered and compelling story.

Silver Surfer is also among the most pivotal and powerful heroes in Marvel, able to support a new Avengers lineup and interact directly with the Fantastic Four cast, which is already confirmed. Given his past with Doom, he would be essential to the villain’s story in the film.
