Avengers: Doomsday Casting Announcement
IT’S HAPPENING. Marvel has kept us on the edge of our seats, let alone with our random guesses and far-fetched theories on all things pertaining the fifth Avengers movie. Well, we’re finally getting something. On Marvel’s YouTube channel, they posted a live video labeled: “ANNOUNCEMENT”, which isn’t much to go off of. But fans have pieced together that the big news is: Casting. Ok, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure that out if you’ve tuned in to the live broadcast. But, it’s MORE than just any old casting. It’s casting for Avengers: Doomsday. (* And cue internal freaking out *) Ok, I’m fine now. Anyways, I’m going to give you the 4-1-1 on what seems to be Marvel’s plan with this ”ANNOUNCEMENT”.
As we speak, millions of fans are staring at their screens as they wait eagerly for the next reveal. Based on my observations, every fifteen to twenty minutes, a new chair is carried up, with another actor’s name inscribed on the back. I will admit, this is hair-pullingly frustrating as I myself do not enjoy waiting hours for a simple cast list. But I will persevere. (So noble of me, I know.) In the mean time, as we wait for further news, I will be updating this post to include the confirmed cast members as more is revealed, as well as their roles (For those of them who are already known to play characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe). There is also a link to the video below, for those of you who are also eager to learn more.
