On the morning of March 26th, Marvel began a live stream on the company’s X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption “Take a seat.” Over the course of the next five hours, the company has used the clip to reveal a slew of actors who are part of the cast of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film.

Over the course of the day, director chairs appeared for a slew of current and former Marvel stars — both from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and previous properties that were produced under the Fox banner — confirming their participation in the film.

The stream concluded with Robert Downey Jr. — who is returning to the MCU not as Tony Stark but rather as a version of Victor Von Doom AKA Doctor Doom who is rumored to debut in this summer’s Fantastic Four: First Steps — appearing in person. It’s unclear if the Fox actors will be portraying their original characters, MCU versions of those characters, or other Multiversal variants.
