Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be the biggest MCU movie ever (until Secret Wars comes along, at least), and that means we can expect to see a lot of characters.
Will the Young Avengers be among them? Leaked concept art has suggested that's the case, but Hawkeye star Hailee Steinfeld chose her words carefully when she was recently asked about being part of the massive ensemble.
"I'm gonna have to say that, I can't say anything," the actor who lends her voice to Spider-Gwen in the animated Spider-Verse franchise teased.
Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming, meanwhile, has described Avengers: Doomsday as a "superhero orgy," adding, "There's so many people in it! I feel so bad for the person who had to schedule the film. There’s like 30 of the biggest actors in the world [in the film]."
Cumming recently finished shooting his scenes as the teleporting mutant, suggesting he'll be part of a huge action sequence involving the X-Men.
At yesterday's Destination D23 event, a short sizzle video was shown to attendees featuring a message from the Russo Brothers—who said Avengers: Doomsday is "bigger than anything we've done before"—and an appearance from Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd.
Addressing fans, he said, "We’re surrounded by jaw-dropping sets and some truly incredible talent, many of who you just saw teased in that great video. Bringing this story to the big screen means the world to us, and we couldn’t do it without your support."
Scooper Daniel Richtman has since chimed in to say that Scott Lang will have an "important" role in the blockbuster. That's admittedly vague, but we're sure it will give you all something to speculate about on this slow Labor Day weekend.
Ant-Man was hugely important to Avengers: Endgame's plot, as he was the one who told Earth's Mightiest Heroes about the Quantum Realm. His latest movie, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, saw Scott seemingly doom the Multiverse to another war after Kang's defeat, though it's likely that plot point will be abandoned now that the focus has shifted to Doctor Doom.
