Every X-Men Member Confirmed To Appear In Avengers: Doomsday (So Far)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for a massive clash in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, bringing together heroes from different corners of its multiverse. The inclusion of X-Men characters from the Fox era is a thrilling development, promising a mix of nostalgia and fresh action.
I’m excited to see these mutants step into the MCU spotlight alongside the Avengers. Here’s a rundown of every X-Men member confirmed so far for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ (2026), each with their unique powers and history.
Charles Xavier / Professor X
Patrick Stewart returns as Charles Xavier, the telepathic founder of the X-Men, a role he first played in ‘X-Men’ (2000). The character, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, leads mutants with his vision of harmony, often clashing with his friend-turned-rival Magneto.
His calm wisdom and wheelchair-bound presence anchor the team. I can’t wait to see how his mind-reading shapes the battle against Doctor Doom.
Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto
Ian McKellen reprises Magneto, the magnetic-field-manipulating mutant, from ‘X-Men’ (2000). A Holocaust survivor, his distrust of humanity fuels his complex rivalry with Xavier, making him a standout in the Fox films.
His ability to bend metal with a thought is always a spectacle. I’m eager to see if he’s friend or foe to the Avengers in this multiverse showdown.
Scott Summers / Cyclops
James Marsden is back as Cyclops, the X-Men’s field leader with optic energy blasts, first seen in ‘X-Men’ (2000). His disciplined nature often puts him at odds with other mutants, but his loyalty to Xavier’s dream is unwavering.
His red beams pack a punch, and I’m curious how he’ll lead in a film packed with heavy hitters. Marsden’s return feels like a nod to the classic X-Men era.
Raven Darkhölme / Mystique
Rebecca Romijn returns as Mystique, the shape-shifting mutant from ‘X-Men’ (2000). Her blue-skinned, agile character, known for espionage and combat, often blurs the line between hero and villain in the Fox films.
Her ability to mimic anyone adds intrigue to any scene. I’m excited to see how her sneaky tactics play out in the MCU’s chaotic multiverse.
Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler
Alan Cumming reprises Nightcrawler, the teleporting mutant with a demonic look, from ‘X2: X-Men United’ (2003). His circus background and deep faith make him a unique figure, beloved for his heart and acrobatic flair.
His bamfing teleportation is a visual treat, and I’m thrilled to see him dodge and weave in this massive team-up. Cumming’s energy should steal some scenes.
Hank McCoy / Beast
Kelsey Grammer returns as Beast, the brilliant, blue-furred mutant from ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ (2006). A scientist and diplomat, his strength and intellect make him a key X-Men member, recently seen in ‘The Marvels’ (2023).
His mix of brains and brawn is always compelling. I’m looking forward to seeing how his calm reasoning holds up against Doom’s schemes.
Remy LeBeau / Gambit
Channing Tatum joins as Gambit, the card-charging Cajun from ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ (2024). Known for his charm and kinetic energy powers, he’s a fan-favorite mutant who nearly had his own Fox film before Disney’s acquisition.
His explosive card tricks bring a fun edge to the team. I’m hyped to see Tatum’s roguish take light up the screen in this epic clash.
Laura / X-23
Dafne Keen is reportedly returning as X-23, the young Wolverine clone from ‘Logan’ (2017). Her fierce claws and healing factor make her a pint-sized powerhouse, carrying Logan’s legacy in the Fox universe.
Her raw intensity adds a gritty vibe to the X-Men lineup. I’m excited to see how her youthful energy mixes with the MCU’s veteran heroes.
