Sam Wilson's Captain America to lead Avengers roster in Doomsday
Marvel has put Sam Wilson's Captain America at the head of the Avengers roster for Avengers: Doomsday, with Channing Tatum returning as Gambit and Xochitl Gomez's possible role still unconfirmed.
Marvel's upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is set to be led by Sam Wilson's Captain America, according to a report that frames the film's roster as officially confirmed. The full list of returning and new Avengers is not spelled out in the material available, so readers should treat the complete lineup as not yet fully public.
Among the names tied to the film, Channing Tatum is returning as Gambit. Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios' president, has promised that Gambit will be a fully rounded character this time. Tatum's first MCU appearance came in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine, where the X-Men mutant was mostly used for comic relief. His Doomsday role is described as more serious than that earlier outing.
Xochitl Gomez, who plays America Chavez in the MCU, has also been part of the conversation around the film. Her possible involvement in Doomsday is discussed in the report but is not confirmed. Gomez has described joining the franchise as « a gift and a curse, » and said that booking work afterward proved difficult.
Feige has also teased that Avengers: Doomsday will be a particularly dark entry in the MCU. The report adds that he has ruled out at least one fan theory about the film's story. Beyond those points, the details available so far remain limited, and the final casting and complete roster have not been confirmed in the material reviewed.
