Overview

In July 2026, Marvel used San Diego Comic‑Con to announce two major casting returns for its upcoming film *Avengers: Doomsday*. Actress Rebecca Romijn confirmed she will reprise Mystique, noting a more natural shooting experience and balancing the role with her work on *Star Trek: Strange New Worlds*. A week later, actor James Marsden revealed he will return as Cyclops, describing the costume as “super special” and stressing his long‑standing desire to revisit the character. Both announcements underscore Marvel’s strategy of weaving X‑Men characters into the broader Avengers cinematic universe ahead of the film’s planned December release.
