Avengers: Doomsday boasts a massive cast, but it seems at least three familiar faces may not be among those assembling in theaters this December.<\/p>\n
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show in the UK,\u00a0Idris Elba (Thor: Love and Thunder), Wunmi Mosaku (Loki) and Martin Freeman (Black Panther) all denied that they’ll appear in the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The host put it to them that “everyone” is in Avengers: Doomsday, prompting Freeman to respond,\u00a0“Apparently, not. Not everyone’s [in it].”\u00a0Mosaku chimed in to jokingly declare, “Rude!” before Elba reminded Norton, “My character died, Graham.”<\/p>\n
Of the three,\u00a0Mosaku not reprising her role as\u00a0Hunter B-15 is the biggest surprise. The character is a pivotal part of the Time Variance Authority (TVA)\u00a0and played a key supporting role in Deadpool & Wolverine. Still, we’d bet on her having something to do in Avengers: Doomsday, especially as she doesn’t actually deny her return here.<\/p>\n
As for Elba’s Heimdall, he’s very much dead and currently residing in Valhalla. The hero\u00a0arguably isn’t needed for this story, unless the plan is to visit an alternate reality Asgard. The actor and character were always underutilised in the MCU, so it would be preferable for that not to\u00a0happen yet again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, the last time we saw Freeman as Everett Ross, he was waking up in the Skrull base in Secret Invasion after being replaced. Given the largely negative response to that series, it’s not a plot point Avengers: Doomsday should waste time on (though we do hope to see Ross in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 3).<\/p>\n
