The Russo Brothers and Marvel Studios have made it a point to highlight the multitude of Marvel favorites making their return<\/a> in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, whether that be the Fox era X-Men, Thor, Shuri, The Thing<\/a>, or Steve Rogers, just to name a few. One group of characters, however, has surprisingly gone without being mentioned to this point, but one of the MCU\u2019s talented directors has revealed the status of those characters and if they will return in Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n

Some of the names missing from the current Avengers: Doomsday roster list are characters who can be found in The Marvels, which includes Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), and Monida Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). Nia DaCosta worked with all three on The Marvels, and in an interview with Deadline<\/a> regarding her newest film (H\/T Collider<\/a>), 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, DaCosta said, \u201cI was just visiting the Avengers set last summer, which was really fun, catching up with the producers, seeing the Russos, and some of my friends were in the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now obviously DaCosta has more friends on the Avengers: Doomsday set than just Larson, Vellani, and Parris, but they are certainly some of her friends, and this would indicate that at least a number of the trio are involved in the film. It would be frankly odd if the movie didn\u2019t utilize some of its biggest powerhouses and fan-favorite characters in arguably its biggest movie ever, but DaCosta\u2019s comments make us feel a bit better about their changes of being featured.<\/p>\n

Nia DaCosta Addresses Reception of The Marvels<\/p>\n

In the same interview, DaCosta also addressed the unexpected reception to The Marvels, and what led to the comments above is that despite \u201chow everything went\u201d with the box office, she took some great things from the project, including wonderful relationships. \u201cSo it was really nice, despite how everything went with the box office and the reviews, knowing that the relationships are so good. I look back and everyone tried their best and everyone was trying to do the right thing, and it is what it is.,\u201d DaCosta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so interesting, because the Marvel machine had so much chatter around it,\u201d DaCosta said. \u201cBut when I look back on it, everyone tried their best. Everyone was trying to make a great film\u2026 and I will say I\u2019m really happy to have those relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Marvels came at a very curious time in the MCU\u2019s lifespan, as 2023 was truly a year of highs and lows. The Marvels was the sequel to the billion-dollar earner Captain Marvel, so there were substantial expectations, but it ended up bringing in just over $206 million worldwide. Since then, Ms. Marvel has been seen in Marvel Zombies, but other than that, all three characters have been missing in action. Hopefully, DaCosta\u2019s comments mean that at least one or two of them are making a return in Doomsday, and fingers crossed it ends up being all three.<\/p>\n
