Internet reacts to missing MCU stars in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’—fans can’t believe Madame Web is part of the debate

As MCU revealed the much-awaited cast list of Avengers: Doomsday, fans cannot keep calm. However, the missing characters stirred some outrage among fans.

Fan favorites like Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Robert Downey Junior (Doctor Doom and NOT as Ironman) Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards from The Fantastic Four), are confirmed to appear in the movie. On the other hand, the missing list comprises some influential stars like Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Dakota Johnson (Madame Web), and Chris Evans (Captain America).

After the announcement, the Internet was taken aback. It turns out that Dakota Johnson has garnered quite a fanbase after her appearance as Madame Web in the 2024 movie. Although the movie did not exceed expectations, fans were looking forward to her being cast in Avengers: Doomsday. But again, many remarked that Johnson as Madame Web is not ‘one of the major stars’ in MCU.

In addition, many have questioned who will play Madame Web and how her presence will affect the plot or main story of the film. This issue has caused widespread discussion and debate on social media.
