Marvel Studios may have just pulled off the strangest — and most successful — stunt in superhero marketing history. In a five-hour-plus livestream event that unfolded on Wednesday, the studio very slowly unveiled the cast of Avengers: Doomsday one painful chair at a time.

With the promise of an all-star cast led by Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and Infinity War and Endgame’s creative team back in action, the fifth Avengers movie could bring back much of the franchise’s lost spark.

Fans noticed that the newest trailer for Marvel's Thunderbolts* removes Taskmaster from a scene, leading to speculation the character dies.

Two Marvel "Avengers" movies grossed $2 billion or more worldwide. Could the 2026 "Avengers: Doomsday" be a third?

The question of whether or not Paltrow will return is particularly interesting considering the surprising direction the brothers Anthony and Joe Russo have chosen to go with Doctor Doom. The fact that they're casting Downey as the iconic Marvel villain begs the question of how Pepper Potts could be explained as not showing up somehow.

Gwyneth Paltrow is in shock at how many Marvel movies she's appeared in. The actor plays Pepper Potts in the MCU, and has shown up in seven Marvel films so far: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, The Avengers, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

Amnesia Assemble. Gwyneth Paltrow was in disbelief learning that she’s played Pepper Potts in seven Marvel movies during a new video interview with Vanity Fair where she watched clips from her most notable roles.

Doomsday could be revealed, as Marvel is teasing an announcement with Thor star Chris Hemsworth and Captain America star Anthony Mackie. The Marvel Studios X, formerly Twitter, account went live at 11 am EST on March 26,
