A fan-favorite MCU character won’t appear in Avengers: Doomsday, at least according to the star playing them.

What fan-favorite MCU star won’t be in Avengers: Doomsday?

Speaking to Brandon Davis while at New York Comic Con, Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox once again confirmed that, despite rumors, he would not be appearing in the highly anticipated Avengers movie. Specifically, Cox said his full focus is on the world of Daredevil as of now.

“No, I’m just concentrating on DD right now,” Cox said when asked. Cox was also asked about the possibility earlier this year and denied it. While fans thought he might be playing coy at the time, it seems like Cox is very serious about not being in the movie.

While Cox won’t be in the movie, the cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is going to be massive regardless. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.

More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman’s Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Winston Duke‘s M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen‘s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki.

Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart‘s Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18, 2026.
