Pedro Pascal’s Avengers: Doomsday Role Clarified for MCU Movie

Pedro Pascal’s role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday has been clarified, revealing what Reed Richard’s status in the film is set to be.

What will Pedro Pascal’s role be in Avengers: Doomsday?

According to a new report from Variety on the status of several future Marvel Studios projects, Pascal‘s status in Doomsday is not that of a full-fledged star. The report notes that Pascal is not the “centerpiece” of the movie, although he still will play an “integral role” in the movie.

This seems to lend credence to recent reports that noted Pascal’s Richards would not be the lead of any newly formed Avengers group in Doomsday. Although he likely will play a large role as one of the new heroes in the MCU, Richards seemingly won’t be the one leading the new Avengers against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in Avengers: Doomsday’s cast. The movie is led by Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, but also includes 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 slated to release in theaters on December 18, 2026.
