The wait is over! The Avengers are reassembling six years after "Avengers: Endgame" became one of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time.

Marvel Studios made the announcement after nearly five-and-a-half-hour livestream ahead of the feature going into production in London sometime in April.

Notable names missing from the roll call included Tom Holland (Spider-Man) and Chris Evans (Captain America), the latter of whom is expected to appear at least one of the two-part movies.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cast announced included Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Danny Ramirez (The Falcon) and Winston Duke (M’Baku).

The cast of Marvel’s upcoming May release anti-hero team movie Thunderbolts* was also represented, with Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), and Lewis Pullman (a character at this time simply known as Bob) also getting chairs in the soundstage, as the live-stream showed.

Also included in the cast are X-Men actors Patrick Stewart (Prof. X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), who kicked off the modern era of superhero movies with 2000’s X-Men, the film Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige cut his teeth on as an assistant.

They will be joined by X2: X-Men United‘s Alan Cuming (Nightcrawler) and Kelsey Grammer (Beast), who starred in X-Men: The Last Stand for 20th Century Fox and had a cameo in The Marvels. Channing Tatum, who once was attached to a Gambit movie that never happened, will also appear in Doomsday after making his debut in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Members of the Fantastic Four are also in the cast, including Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (The Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) and Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch).

The Hollywood Reporter, quoting its sources, say that even with 26 actors announced, Marvel wasn’t done with revealing the entire cast, although when and how another unveiling will occur was unclear.

Marvel officially announced "Avengers: Doomsday" to much excitement at San Diego Comic-Con in July. 

The surprise reveal included Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the MCU after his retirement from the role of Iron Man in "Endgame." 

This move brought Downey, Marvel's most bankable star, back together with the Russo Brothers, Marvel's most successful directors. 

The brothers had also stepped away from the MCU following "Endgame," the Hollywood Reporter also said.
