Yes, nerds and nerdettes, Marvel is finally assembling its new super team, and the hype is real! The new Avengers movie is coming, and the studio has already confirmed 28 stars who will make up the cast.
There are new people, there are regulars, there are people who have come back from the dead (in the cinematic sense, of course) and even some surprises that we are still processing.
If you want to know who these names are, where they have already appeared in the MCU and what to expect from each of them, check out this complete guide!
The guys who held the fort post-Thanos are still going strong:
Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson / Captain America) – Now officially the new Cap, leading with shield and attitude.
Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) – The most powerful woman in the MCU? She’s back.
Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) – The Sorcerer Supreme still has a lot of magic to do.
Letitia Wright (Shuri/Black Panther) – He inherited the mantle and has been representing Wakanda with intelligence and strength.
Tom Holland (Spider-Man) – Our friendly neighborhood guy is on the list, even with the multiverses messing everything up.
Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) – Still green, still awesome, and still a fan favorite.
The new generation that arrived in the last stages is also confirmed:
Hailee Steinfeld (Kate Bishop) – The charismatic archer who won over the audience in Hawkeye.
Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) – Nerd, fangirl and now Avenger. Representation is on!
Xochitl Gomez (America Chavez) – The young woman with punches that open portals between realities.
Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova) – The new Black Widow, with much more sarcasm and intensity.
Tenoch Huerta (Namor) – He arrived with a bang in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and now he dives deep into the team.
These guys aren't the most explosive in fights, but without them the team won't move forward:
Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) – The most down-to-earth hero. He has humor, heart and quantum technology.
Evangeline Lilly (Wasp) – Loyal partner and sharp strategist.
Kathryn Newton (Cassie Lang) – The daughter grew up and wants to save the world with her father.
Because the MCU isn't just the Earth that spins:
Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) – Queen of New Asgard and powerful warrior.
Simu Liu (Shang-Chi) – Martial arts, mystical rings and charisma to spare.
Pom Klementieff (Mantis) – The cutest empath in the galaxy.
Karen Gillan (Nebula) – From villain to total badass anti-heroine.
Dave Bautista (Drax) – He still doesn't understand metaphors, but he understands fighting.
Now, here are the news and returns that caused a stir:
Pedro Pascal (character not yet revealed) – Yes, the darling of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us has joined the party!
John Krasinski (possible return as Reed Richards) – Will it go now?
Megan Thee Stallion (yes, SHE) – After a comic appearance in She-Hulk, rumors indicate that he returns in a more solid form.
Giancarlo Esposito (role still under wraps) – The villain everyone loves to hate is coming to the MCU!
Harrison Ford (Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross) – He took over General Ross’s post and comes with political weight.
Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) – The man who never dies remains on the radar.
With this diverse, powerful cast and explosive chemistry, everything indicates that Marvel wants to deliver a new epic chapter, mixing the legacy of the old Avengers with the strength of the new generation.
The bets range from the formation of the New Avengers to interdimensional confrontations involving Kang, the villain of the next phases of the MCU.
And with so many renowned actors gathered together, you can expect iconic scenes, sharp jokes and lots of cosmic action.
The new Avengers movie hasn't even arrived yet, but the cast is already worthy of applause. Marvel seems to be betting everything on a mix of nostalgia and innovation — and fans only have to gain from it.
Now it's time to hold back the hype, update Disney+ and prepare for the MCU marathon, because the new Avengers promises to be huge!
