Rumors have already suggested that Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine is set to appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. However, a new report has shared some not great news on that front.
What do we know about Hugh Jackman’s status for Avengers: Doomsday?
According to noted insider My Time to Shine in a recent post, there will be no second “chair reveal” for Avengers: Doomsday to announce even more roles. The reason for this, the insider said, is that the first round of names shown in the infamous reveal were all the main stars of the movie.
Anyone else, outside of the reported Chris Evans, who is said to star in the movie as well, will be a cameo role or smaller appearance. When a fan asked if this meant that Jackman will just have a cameo, the insider confirmed he would have either a “cameo or a small role.”

While this might be bad news to some, it does seem to at least confirm that Jackman will be in the movie in some capacity. With Avengers: Secret Wars on the horizon after Doomsday, it’s also possible Jackman’s appearance in Doomsday, no matter how small, could set him up for a bigger appearance in the next film.
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 are confirmed to appear in Doomsday.
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.
