During a five-hour live-stream event, Marvel introduced the film’s stars, beginning with Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and concluding with Robert Downey Jr., who will portray Victor Von Doom. The cast also includes Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), and Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic).
Holland, who has played Peter Parker since Captain America: Civil War (2016), has previously expressed interest in stepping away from the role. However, Spider-Man 4 is currently in development, with Sadie Sink rumored to join the cast. This has fueled speculation that Spider-Man 4 could mark Holland’s farewell to the MCU.
Rumors suggest Marvel may be preparing for the live-action introduction of Miles Morales, potentially signaling a major shift in Spider-Man’s legacy. While Marvel has not commented on Holland’s exclusion from Avengers: Doomsday, fans are eager for updates on his future within the franchise.
