The official cast below is the list published on Disney Movies and Marvel's movie page, checked on November 13, 2026. Role names in the second column come from Disney Movies photo captions, Marvel's "Everything to Know" article, or Fandango's official listing.

Two additional names appear on Marvel's "Everything to Know" article but are not on the official Disney Movies or Marvel movie-page cast list: Hayley Atwell (listed there as Peggy Carter) and Alex Livinalli (listed there as Attuma). Until those names appear on the official movie-page list, treat them as reported / not on the official listing.

How long is Avengers: Doomsday?

Disney Movies does not publish a runtime on the official film page. Theater and trade sources have used about 165 minutes (2 hours 45 minutes) as the figure for ticket sales. The Hollywood Reporter reported that length when premium tickets were prepared for sale, and noted that the final cut was unlikely to be locked that far in advance, though the runtime could only change by a small margin once showtimes were being sold. There is no official figure for the runtime without credits, so this page does not invent one.

Where can I watch the official trailer?

Marvel released the official trailer in July 2026, alongside Infinity Vision ticket sales. Watch it on the Marvel Entertainment YouTube channel:
