Los Angeles, California - Avengers, assemble! Marvel Studios has begun unveiling the ensemble cast for its upcoming movie, Avengers: Doomsday.
During a live stream on Wednesday, Marvel revealed the actors slated to appear in the next Avengers film ahead of the big feature starting production next month in London.
