    Letitia Wright and Wyatt Russell there too (Black Panther and US Agent). It's on Youtube at the below link. Not sure if it'll embed since it's an on-going live video. 1hr 15 minutes, and only seven names revealed so far. Absolutely needless.

    If there is some surprise actor announcement I reckon we are about 4 hours away from it at this rate.

    Yeah. They're just showing seats with actors names on the back. Every 10-15 minutes, they reveal a new seat.

    Lewis Pullman is playing Sentry in Thunderbolts. Selsey Grammer also suggests we'll see the X-Men in some form, he played Beast and showed up in the post-credits of The Marvels.

    yea, i enjoyed that…

    i'd love to see McAvoy and fassbender name on the seats.

    I just read Lewis Pullman who was Bob in TopGun Maverick, is Bill Pullmans son.

    I don't know if this reveal is clever or stupid. Stupid for fans, sure. It's annoying as hell. But from a publicity point of view it's generating new tweets and discussions every few minutes over a long period of time.

    I get the point of it, but man it's just really annoying at the same time.

    Alan Cumming and Rebecca Romijn too (aka Nightcrawler and Mystique).

    Really getting the whole band back together. I'm sure half these people will be in about 2 scenes max or just full CGI during fight scenes, but still, it'll be a bit of fun at least seeing all the old faces (literally).

    Jesus. Theme park or cinema, this is the level of marketing that Marvel knocked out of the park for Endgame.

    Some level of confidence shown in the Thunderbolts to throw all of them into this, regardless of screen time. Screen time is screen time and they'll need every minute of it.

    FF isn't surprising, their own film should be a penalty kick.

    I thought the OG X-Men would have been saved for Secret Wars.

    it's looking like x-men vs Avengers Vs Thunderbolts..

    was that a comic?

    i know x-men vs Avengers is… it's next on my list

    James Marsden back as Cyclops.

    With Tatum's Gambit just announced, Jackman and Reynolds can't be far away. Will Dafne Keen be added?

    Wonder will Halle Berry/Famke Jansen get the nod over Sophie Turner/Alex Shipp? They seem to be favouring the OG's.

    I'd personally like Anya Taylor-Joy to return as Magik a recent gem of a casting.

    This will be bigger cast than Cap's "Avengers Assemble"

    I don't think so. I think there was an AXE event in the comics, which was Avengers V X-Men V Eternals. I'd say at this stage a few of them might end up in this movie too, even if it's just to kill them off.

    The Eternals wanted to exterminate mutants because of the Krakoan ressurection protocols.

    Be very hard to do without having established Krakoa.

    I'm guessing it will be similar to Infinity War in that the teams will be kept mostly separate while they deal with the damage Doom is doing across the multiverse.

    They definitely wouldn't adapt the actual story from the comics, same with not directly adapting the Age of Ultron, Infinity Gauntlet, Ragnarok etc stories. I don't think they'd go down that road from this film anyway, maybe more of a Secret Wars thing. This film is likely more going to be about establishing the stakes and maybe Dr.Doom manipulating things in the background.

    Huh, I just went to check the video to see who was coming in after Pedro Pascal, and managed to catch the end. Last chair is RDJ. He walked in, sat in the chair, went "Ssshhh", gestured to the other chairs, then walked out. Video is over (after more than 5 hours!).

    Yeah it's much more likely to be Secret Wars as a baseline. I still think that Krakoa might be used to reveal mutants easily into the MCU without re-treading origins.

    Some big-hitters missing from the lineup. No Dr.Strange, Spider-Man, Hulk, Cap.Marvel, Wong, She-Hulk, Rhodey, Nick Fury, Deadwood, Wolverine or Guardians of the Galaxy. Again, you'd have to assume they'll be in Secret Wars.

    I think it'll be more a case of the X-Men being from a different universe (as hinted in The Marvels (actually, no Lashana Lynch or Teyonah Parris in the credits even though they were last seen with Beast)), and Secret Wars somehow merges all universes together.

    That cast is a bit of a letdown overall.
