Overview

• A Shanghai projection event promoting Avengers: Doomsday left out more than half a dozen established hero groups and characters.
• Reported absences include the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Marvels trio, several Young Avengers figures, Doctor Strange, Shang‑Chi, Wanda Maximoff and the Eternals.
• The Thunderbolts were also missing from the display, though prior reporting says they are expected to be part of the film.
• Spider‑Man’s involvement remains unresolved due to Sony’s control of the character’s film rights, which would require separate agreements.
• Marvel continues to frame the Phase 6 entry around Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, with production ongoing and marketing unfolding through staged teases.
