Characters confirmed to show up in Avengers: Doomsday

Though Loki, Thor's daughter Love, America Chavez, Deadpool, Wolverine, Namor, Moon Knight, and many more are most likely on the roster, the Avengers lineup is still mainly unrevealed. With Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, and Dominique Thorne's Ironheart confirmed returning the Wakandan cast, this movie will clearly have a large ensemble cast, maybe the largest ever gathered for a Marvel picture.
Avengers: Doomsday's central story line will be what?
Along with Avengers: Secret Wars, Doomsday is supposed to be the climax of the Multiverse Saga. The film is supposed to combine all the scattered strands from several multiverse narratives and finish in a major confrontation against Doctor Doom.

With Doctor Doom perhaps employing the threat of incursions to cause havoc and drag the Avengers into battle, the movie will probably examine the ramifications of the multiverse destruction seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home. The plot will be much shaped by the forthcoming releases of The Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts, both with pivotal characters for the Avengers: Doomsday plotline.
Avengers: Doomsday will present what kind of peril to the team?

It is obvious from the sheer number of heroes engaged and the scope of the threat that this will be a really epic and perilous war.
