Ana de Armas (Ballerina, Blonde) is in talks with Marvel Studios for a role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
According to Daniel Richtman, in his new Patreon post, Marvel Studios is in discussions with de Armas for a role, which has not yet been disclosed. If de Armas signs the deal, it will mark her first MCU debut.
Following the report, fans on X (formerly Twitter) started guessing her role, with some saying she would be perfect as an evil variant of Black Widow. Once we receive an official update from Marvel Studios, we will share it with you.

When it comes to action movies, she played the Bond girl Paloma in the James Bond film No Time to Die (2021) and starred alongside Chris Evans in the Apple TV+ action-comedy film Ghosted (2023). She will next be seen in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, a spin-off of the John Wick franchise, where she plays the title role of an assassin. The film is scheduled to be released on June 6, 2025.
In Avengers: Doomsday, Robert Downey Jr. will play the role of Doctor Doom, Chris Evans as an Nomad, Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, Wyatt Russell as US Agent, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Wonder Man.
