Fresh rumors surrounding ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ are giving Marvel fans plenty to talk about. A team lineup that was leaked at the Shanghai Expo has started to circulate online, providing what may be the film’s cast for the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
The rumored cast list has already generated a lot of discussion. To add to it, another member of the New Avengers may be killed off for good in the movie.
A Star-Studded Avengers Lineup Emerges
The Avengers team for ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ is made up of Steve Rogers, Thor, Loki, Captain America, Falcon, Ant-Man, Shang-Chi, Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, John Walker, and Red Guardian.

It’s a fascinating cast of heroes and newer characters. Veterans like Thor and Loki would be there with years of experience. And characters like Shang-Chi and Yelena would carry the torch for the next generation of the MCU.
The presence of John Walker and Red Guardian also indicates that Marvel is willing to go the extra mile to form an Avengers lineup that is more unconventional than what they’ve used in the past. The cast is still unconfirmed. However, it’s becoming one of the biggest Marvel fans’ talking points ahead of the movie.
Could Bucky Barnes Be Facing His Final Battle?
A bigger issue is another rumour about one of the New Avengers who is destined to die in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. Bucky Barnes, Sentry, Yelena Belova, John Walker, Ghost, and Red Guardian are reportedly part of the current New Avengers lineup.

That’s made Bucky Barnes a popular choice for many fans. The speculation is due in part because Sebastian Stan is said to be joining ‘The Batman Part II’, which has some questioning whether his stint at Marvel is coming to an end.
An actor appearing in several franchises doesn’t automatically mean that they’re leaving a franchise. However, it has certainly led to many theories being circulated on the internet. Bucky would be among the MCU’s most consistent character arcs to be over.
He’s been one of Marvel’s most compelling stories, from his tragic transformation to the Winter Soldier to his hard-fought redemption and eventual return as a hero. If these reports are true, then ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ could be giving audiences a heart-wrenching farewell, until Marvel Studios officially confirms otherwise.
