Is Spider-Man in Avengers: Doomsday?
Currently, Tom Holland is not officially listed among the Avengers: Doomsday cast, and the trailer offers no confirmation that Spider-Man will appear. So for now, fans will have to keep their Spidey senses in check.
Holland’s next appearance as Peter Parker is in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled to arrive in US theaters on July 31, ahead of Avengers: Doomsday. The fourth installment in Sony and Marvel Studios’ franchise is expected to take Spider-Man in a more mature, street-level direction.
Spider-Man’s absence from Doomsday may also have a practical explanation. Avengers: Doomsday began shooting in April 2025 and continued until September, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day was also shooting over the summer. With Holland directing the latter project, appearing in both films in a significant capacity may have been a scheduling headache. However, Marvel has not officially confirmed that filming schedules are the reason for Spider-Man’s apparent absence, according to Bam Smack Pow.
The full cast of Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel cast reveal includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Letitia Wright as Black-Pantheringrach, Elektronik as “Black-Pantheringrach”, Richards, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, Channing Tatum as Gambit, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, David Harbor as Red Guardian, Danny Ramirez, Winston-Duke, Hannah and several others.
The Russos return to direct Avengers: Doomsday from a script by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely, marking their first MCU film since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. The film became the second-highest-grossing film of all time, while the four Avengers films released so far have collectively earned more than $7.7 billion at the global box office, according to Deadline.
Now, with Doctor Doom officially in the building and half the Marvel universe apparently invited to the party, the question remains: is Spider-Man actually staying home, or is Marvel just saving the web-slinger for a surprise too late?
