Production on Avengers: Doomsday has officially wrapped, but Marvel fans don't have to wait for a trailer to get their first taste of what's coming. Thanks to a wrap gift shared online by SFX and makeup artist Gi Ponci Mua, we may already have our clearest look yet at the film's enormous roster of heroes and villains.
The gift bag, styled like a collage of character portraits, reveals a line-up that spans the MCU's legacy and its future. The Fantastic Four appear with new suits while Thor is back to his Avengers: Infinity War-era short hair. The X-Men are finally getting comic-accurate looks with Cyclops in his classic blue-and-yellow outfit with red visor, Beast in full fur, Nightcrawler in his traditional uniform, and Mystique in her iconic white costume.
Apart from that, fans also spotted updated designs for Namor, who is now sporting a black vest and M'Baku accompanying him. Other returning faces include Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Sam Wilson as Captain America, Shang-Chi, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Loki, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent, Gambit, Ghost, and looming over them all is Doctor Doom, marking his first proper appearance in the MCU.
A surprising addition seems to be Franklin Richards, who seems to have grown now, though some speculate it could be Valeria Richards. Either way, we already know Franklin will be an important part of Avengers: Doomsday, as he is seen with Doctor Doom in the post-credits scene from The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
