Marvel is about to make a major announcement about the MCU, and I think we're going to get an official Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal

Marvel is about to make a big announcement about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), according to a live feed that's, well, gone live on its social media platforms.

Yesterday (March 25), there were tentative rumors that the comic book giant would make a huge announcement today (March 26) at 11AM ET. And, as if by magic, a live video appeared on the studio's YouTube channel, plus the likes of X/Twitter, at that exact time.

The live feed began with an out-of-focus individual (Marvel chief Kevin Feige, is that you?) walking into frame to place a chair bearing Chris Hemsworth's name on it. Unsurprisingly, that's sent MCU fans into a frenzy over a possible Thor 5 reveal.

Fun though it would be to get confirmation that another Thor movie is on the way, though, that's not the big announcement I'd expect Marvel to make, especially one that's devoting an entire live feed to.

18 minutes later, another chair bearing the name of Vanessa Kirby, who'll play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, was slotted next to Hemsworth's. Moments later, a piece of music slowly started to kick in. And, 23 minutes into the live feed, the Avengers' iconic MCU theme began. One minute later, a third chair adorned with Anthony Mackie, aka the latest actor to play Captain America, was brought in.

That, my friends, can only mean one thing: we're about to get a full cast reveal for the next two Avengers movies – those, of course, being Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

More and more cast reveals are going to be made regarding the aforementioned Marvel Phase 6 projects in the coming minutes and hours. So, stay tuned to TechRadar for more details as and when I have it!
