The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always kept fans on the edge of their seats when it comes to returning heroes and new threats. One character with a particularly passionate following is Captain Marvel. Recently, speculation has surged about Brie Larson’s return as Carol Danvers, especially as Avengers: Doomsday ramps up production and casting rumors abound.
When the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement dropped, fans noticed one major omission: Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel was nowhere to be seen. In a franchise known for its surprise reveals, this sparked immediate theories. According to Comicbookmovie.com, Larson’s appearance at Comic Con Liverpool this November has only fueled speculation. Many believe she’ll be in the UK to film scenes for either Avengers: Doomsday or Marvel’s next epic, Secret Wars.
The Avengers: Doomsday cast list continues to evolve, with rumors swirling about a massive lineup of characters—some returning, others stepping up for the first time. While nothing is confirmed for Captain Marvel yet, history shows Marvel Studios loves saving surprises for the big screen.
Brie Larson herself is fanning the flames. After wrapping up her stage run in the UK, she hinted at a "new chapter" in an Instagram post. This timing aligns perfectly with the start of filming for Avengers: Doomsday, making fans hopeful for her MCU comeback as Carol Danvers. According to GAMINGbible, Larson’s cryptic message about upcoming news has left Marvel fans abuzz, eagerly awaiting a second wave of cast announcements.
Despite mixed reactions to her previous appearances, Captain Marvel remains one of the franchise’s most powerful and important heroes. The prospect of her joining the fight against Doctor Doom has ignited discussions across social media and fan forums. Even Marvel’s official communication has hinted that not every cast member has been revealed yet, increasing hope for more Captain Marvel-related surprises.
The last time we saw Captain Marvel, she teamed up with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan in The Marvels, setting up new stories and possible Young Avengers crossovers. Though The Marvels struggled at the box office compared to the billion-plus run of the first Captain Marvel film, Carol Danvers still commands a huge following—and the MCU isn’t likely to retire such a major hero without fanfare.
Industry insiders speculate that Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars could serve as a soft reboot for Marvel’s cinematic universe, possibly reshuffling key characters. Whether Captain Marvel emerges as a central figure or takes on a supporting role, her legacy is secure for now. As more cast announcements and teasers drop, fans will be watching Brie Larson’s every move.
