Marvel has officially unveiled Sam Wilson’s Avengers team for Avengers: Doomsday, featuring an electrifying lineup of Thor, Loki, Shang-Chi, Falcon, and Ant-Man.

Sam Wilson’s Official Avengers: Doomsday Team
Sam Wilson / Captain America (Anthony Mackie)
The new shield bearer leads with tactical brilliance and unyielding moral compass, inheriting Steve Rogers’ legacy while forging his own path.
Thor (Chris Hemsworth)
The God of Thunder returns with Stormbreaker, bringing Asgardian might and newfound wisdom from his Love and Thunder journey.
Loki (Tom Hiddleston)
The God of Mischief, now multiversal overseer, joins as wildcard ally with timeline manipulation powers against Doom’s dimensional schemes.
Shang-Chi (Simu Liu)
The Master of the Ten Rings delivers unmatched martial arts and mystical ring weaponry, representing Marvel’s growing international heroes.
Ant-Man / Giant-Man (Paul Rudd)
Scott Lang’s size-shifting genius provides tactical flexibility, quantum expertise, and comic relief for the high-stakes battle.
Team Strategy & Dynamics
Sam Wilson’s leadership unites god-level power (Thor), multiversal cunning (Loki), martial precision (Shang-Chi), and scientific innovation (Ant-Man). Thor anchors frontline assaults, Loki counters Doom’s sorcery, Shang-Chi handles elite combatants, Ant-Man infiltrates, and Captain America coordinates the impossible.
The lineup balances experience (Thor, Loki’s redemption arc) with fresh energy (Shang-Chi, Sam), creating dynamic tensions perfect for Russo Brothers’ ensemble mastery. Loki’s uneasy alliance with Asgard’s king adds narrative fireworks.
Directors & Production Details
Anthony and Joe Russo return to direct Avengers: Doomsday after helming Infinity War and Endgame. The $450M+ production shoots across Atlanta, London, and New Zealand, featuring unprecedented VFX scale for Doom’s Latveria and multiversal rifts. Writers Michael Waldron and Malcolm Spellman blend Captain America: Brave New World arcs with Phase 6 stakes.
Release Date & MCU Phase 6 Launch
Avengers: Doomsday premieres May 1, 2026, kicking off Marvel Phase 6 and setting up Secret Wars. Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom leads Latverian forces including Fantastic Four villains, forcing Sam Wilson’s team into desperate alliances across realities.
This Avengers lineup represents Marvel’s bold evolution – international diversity, legacy characters mentoring new heroes, gods and mortals united. Sam Wilson’s squad faces MCU’s greatest threat yet in what promises to be the decade’s defining superhero spectacle.
