The cast of Avengers: Doomsday is still largely a mystery. While fans now know that Robert Downey Jr. is making his highly anticipated return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, the rest of the lineup has not been revealed yet. Recently, Ana de Armas- long considered a dream pick by fans to join the universe- became the subject of casting rumors for Doomsday. Naturally, fans went wild, imagining all the possibilities.

According to insider Daniel Richtman, Ana de Armas is rumored to be in talks for a role in Avengers: Doomsday. But no one knows what role it might be. This little nugget of information dropped right after reports of Chris Evans potentially rejoining the MCU surfaced, again, in an unspecified role. Speaking of Evans, he once praised his Ghosted co-star for her MCU-level stunts. In an interview with ComicBook, Evans shared his admiration for de Armas, with whom he previously worked on Knives Out and The Gray Man.

Describing the quickly rising star as someone who throws herself into everything completely, Evans compared her stunt work to the kind of action audiences expect from Marvel’s Black Widow. With a knack for action-packed roles and the physicality they demand, it is totally reasonable for fans to picture both de Armas and Evans stepping into the shoes of an MCU heroes in Avengers: Doomsday.

Fans are beyond excited for Ana de Armas’ role in Avengers: Doomsday

In the short time Ana de Armas has been in Hollywood, she has already shown she can handle all kinds of roles. But surprisingly, she still has not made her mark in a Marvel or DC movie- something that is getting rarer by the day. But fans are not waiting around for the studios to cast her. They are already imagining her in all sorts of roles in the MCU, and some of these suggestions are pretty fun.

In fact, many fans have said they do not even care which role she plays—they are buying tickets the second she is announced.

Ana de Armas has not just been a fan favorite for Marvel; she is also a top pick for the DC universe. But the actress herself is not rushing to become a full-time action star yet. Last year, she hinted that Ballerina might be her last action role for a while, as she wants to dive into more character-focused work. While it totally makes sense that she wants to explore different kinds of roles, it is also hard to ignore the fact that de Armas has the kind of natural charisma that is perfect for an MCU role.
