Thor is the Asgardian God of Thunder, a prince raised for glory who gradually learns that being worthy means more than strength, status or victory in battle. His story moves between cosmic war, family loss, exile, grief and reinvention, often with more humour than anyone involved probably planned. Across the MCU, Thor connects Earth’s heroes to the wider universe and remains one of the Avengers’ most powerful and unpredictable allies.
Thor brings the cosmic side of the MCU into focus, especially through Asgard, Loki, the Infinity Stones and the Avengers’ battles beyond Earth. His history helps explain the scale of threats the Avengers have faced before, and why future universe-level conflicts rarely stay confined to one planet.

Over time he becomes one of the Avengers' most trusted members, contributing some of the team's most important scientific breakthroughs while gradually finding peace with both sides of himself.
Bruce is one of the MCU's leading scientific minds and frequently plays a key role in understanding threats that other heroes cannot. His work alongside Tony Stark, his involvement with the Infinity Stones and his continuing presence after Endgame make him one of the characters most likely to influence future Avengers stories.

Understanding Natasha helps explain many of the team's most important relationships and sacrifices.

Peter remains one of the MCU's most important young heroes and one of the strongest connections to Tony Stark's legacy. Following the events of No Way Home, he occupies a unique position in the MCU, making his future role in major crossover stories particularly significant.

Few characters are more important to understanding the modern MCU than Doctor Strange. His stories introduce the multiverse, alternate realities, incursions and many of the concepts that underpin upcoming crossover events. If Doomsday explores the consequences of multiversal instability, Strange is likely to be one of the central figures involved.

Wanda is one of the most important characters in understanding the MCU's multiverse storyline.

Despite rarely possessing the power or status of the people around him, his integrity, courage and belief in heroism leave a lasting impact on the MCU.
Coulson's direct relevance to Doomsday is limited compared to characters such as Strange or Wanda. However, understanding Coulson helps explain the origins of the Avengers, the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. and many of the relationships that shaped the MCU's earliest years. He remains one of the franchise's most important foundational characters.

Few characters are more important to understanding the MCU's future than Loki. His Disney+ series introduces the Time Variance Authority, branching timelines, multiversal war and many of the concepts that underpin the MCU's current saga. By the end of Loki Season 2, his role places him at the centre of the multiverse itself, making him one of the most significant characters heading into Doomsday.

Although he often operates in the shadow of larger personalities, Rhodey remains one of the MCU's most reliable heroes and one of the people Tony trusts most.
Rhodey remains one of the MCU's longest-serving heroes and one of the few people with direct ties to both the Avengers' origins and their future. His close connection to Tony Stark's legacy, combined with his continuing role within the superhero community, makes him an important supporting figure in the post-Endgame MCU.

Throughout the MCU, she demonstrates that heroism is not limited to people with superpowers, repeatedly stepping into difficult situations with courage, practicality and determination.
Pepper remains one of the most important links to Tony Stark's legacy. Through her leadership of Stark Industries, her role as Morgan's mother and her connections to many of the Avengers, she continues to represent the lasting impact of one of the MCU's most influential heroes. While she is unlikely to be a frontline participant in future conflicts, her presence helps maintain continuity between the Infinity Saga and the MCU's future.

While his methods are often questionable, his ability to identify threats and assemble the right people to face them plays a crucial role in the formation and survival of the Avengers.
Fury's greatest importance lies in understanding how the MCU's heroes became connected in the first place. While he is less central to the multiverse storyline than characters such as Strange, Wanda or Loki, he remains a major figure in global and interplanetary security. His relationships with both the Avengers and the Skrulls continue to influence the MCU's wider political landscape.

Although T'Challa's story concludes before the MCU's current saga, his legacy remains central to Wakanda's future. Wakanda continues to be one of the most powerful and influential nations in the MCU, with its technology, resources and leadership playing an important role in many modern stories. Understanding T'Challa helps explain the significance of Wakanda and the characters who carry his legacy forward.

Shuri is one of the MCU's most important modern leaders. As the current Black Panther and one of the world's greatest scientific minds, she represents both the future of Wakanda and the continuation of T'Challa's legacy. Wakanda's technology, resources and global influence are likely to remain significant in future Avengers stories, making Shuri a key figure heading into Doomsday.

His humour and relatability make him one of the MCU's most grounded heroes, while his connection to the Quantum Realm places him at the centre of several major developments.
Scott's importance extends far beyond his size-changing abilities. His knowledge of the Quantum Realm helps make the events of Endgame possible, and Quantumania introduces concepts and characters that play a major role in the Multiverse Saga. Scott's corner of the MCU remains closely tied to the wider story of alternate realities and universe-spanning threats.

Reed Richards may be one of the most important characters in the MCU's future. Across Marvel history, his relationship with Victor von Doom is one of the defining rivalries in the entire franchise. Reed's scientific expertise, leadership of the Fantastic Four and connections to multiversal concepts place him at the centre of many stories involving Doctor Doom.

A brilliant scientist, ruler of the nation of Latveria and master of both technology and mystic arts, Doom combines extraordinary intelligence with an unwavering belief that he alone knows how the world should be governed. His ambition, pride and determination make him a formidable adversary, while his occasional moments of nobility ensure he is far more complex than a traditional villain.
Maximum. Doctor Doom is the central figure around whom the MCU's current saga appears to be building. Across Marvel history, Doom has been involved in some of the franchise's most important stories, particularly those involving the Fantastic Four, multiversal conflicts and Secret Wars. Understanding Doom's motivations, intelligence, ambitions and rivalry with Reed Richards is likely to be essential for understanding the future of the MCU.
