For much of her career, Ana de Armas has stayed away from big franchise roles. That has obviously changed with her showing up in No Time to Die, and her upcoming role in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. But if this new rumor from Daniel Richtman is true, Armas is due for her biggest studio franchise movie by a wide margin.
The report says Ana de Armas is in talks for a mystery role in Avengers: Doomsday. The upcoming MCU event is shaping up to have a massive ensemble of returning superheroes and villains, but also plenty of new faces of which Armas would be one.
This begs the question of who Armas could be playing? Will she be standing side-by-side with Robert Downey Jr. who is playing Doctor Doom? Maybe a version of Valeria von Doom? With Chris Evans rumored to play the Nomad version of Steve Rogers, maybe a villain such as Diamondback? Or Viper?
It’s unlikely that we’ll ever know the full cast of Avengers: Doomsday or its follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars, until the very last moment. Adding Armas would be a Hell of a coup for Marvel who will definitely want to keep her around for the long haul.
Avengers: Doomsday opens May 1st 2026, followed by Secret Wars on May 7th 2027.
