On March 26, Marvel Studios surprised fans by going live and revealing the confirmed cast members of Avengers: Doomsday. This time, they did roll call in a unique way— featuring empty chairs inked with the MCU actors' names, set to appear in the upcoming movie. They built up anticipation and hype as they revealed each name every 15 minutes, ensuring fans remained glued to their screens. The live stream lasted for 5+ hours, becoming the biggest Marvel stream ever, and bagged 275M digital views, per Deadline.
