Pratt, who\u2019s best known in the Marvel universe as Star-Lord, is expected to return for the next big Avengers flick. But during the live stream revealing the cast, his name\u2014and even his actor\u2019s chair\u2014was nowhere to be seen, leaving fans scratching their heads and speculating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"889\">When asked about it, Pratt took it in stride with a bit of humor. The <em data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"586\">Garfield<\/em> and <em data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"616\">Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> star joked, \u201cI don\u2019t know! I think it was, like, far off.\u201d Then, while chatting with <em data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"712\">Collider<\/em>, he added, \u201cThey must have cut away from it. I don\u2019t know what happened. I don\u2019t know. It was there. I\u2019m sure it was there.\u201d Basically, he seemed as surprised as everyone else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1342\">Marvel later tried to smooth things over, saying that several other key cast members will be credited in the film even though they weren\u2019t part of the live reveal. Pratt wasn\u2019t the only one missing\u2014Tom Holland\u2019s name was also left out. Turns out, that\u2019s because <em data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1180\">Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> drops around the same time as <em data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1231\">Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>, and Marvel confirmed Spider-Man won\u2019t be in <em data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1292\">Brand New Day<\/em>\u2014likely due to timeline overlaps or story reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1591\">In other casting news that got fans hyped, several <em data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1402\">X-Men<\/em> legends are officially joining <em data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1444\">Doomsday<\/em>. That includes Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammer\u2014all returning to their iconic roles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1828\">The upcoming Avengers film is also stacked with returning heroes and fresh faces: Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and many more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"2057\">But the biggest twist? Robert Downey Jr. is making a dramatic comeback to the MCU\u2014not as Iron Man, but as the villainous Dr. Victor Von Doom. Yeah, you read that right. The beloved Tony Stark actor is flipping to the dark side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2414\">As for Pratt, he\u2019s already worked with the Russo Brothers (who are directing <em data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2146\">Doomsday<\/em>) on their recent film <em data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2189\">The Electric State<\/em>, where he starred alongside <em data-start=\"2218\" data-end=\"2235\">Stranger Things<\/em> star Millie Bobby Brown. So while his official confirmation for <em data-start=\"2300\" data-end=\"2320\">Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> might\u2019ve been delayed\u2014or mysteriously skipped\u2014he\u2019s clearly still very much in Marvel\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Pratt recently spoke out about being left out of the big Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement\u2014and fans definitely noticed.
