The reported cast list reads like a dream for MCU enthusiasts. It combines legacy characters, recent favorites, and even rumored additions. Among the highlights are Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans possibly returning as Nomad/Steve Rogers, and Anthony Mackie leading as Sam Wilson/Captain America.

Moreover, Scarlet Witch’s return could open doors to explore her redemption arc or delve further into her immense, often unstable powers. Additionally, joining Olsen are Tom Holland’s Spider-man, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. However, it’s important to note that Marvel has not officially confirmed anything yet.
What Role Could The Scarlet Witch Play In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?
Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch has undergone one of the most compelling character evolutions in the MCU. From her introduction in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron‘ as a grieving Sokovian with vendettas, to becoming a powerful Avenger, and ultimately a tragic antagonist in ‘Multiverse of Madness‘, Wanda’s journey has captivated fans.
