Reported & expected additions
Beyond the official 30, several returns have been reported or are widely expected - but aren't on Marvel's confirmed “Starring” list, so we keep them separate. Reported
- Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange - expected to return.
- Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter / Agent Carter - reported.
- India Rose Hemsworth as Love, Thor's adopted daughter - reported.
- Alex Livinalli as the Talokanil warrior Attuma, plus the Fantastic Four's robot companion H.E.R.B.I.E. - reported to appear.
One claim we won't publish
A widely-shared “Tom Holland / Spider-Man is in the cast” claim traced back to an AI-generated search summary and does not appear on Marvel's official list. We don't publish it.
23 of the 30 cards use licensed photos of the actors; the rest show the character name until a suitably-licensed photo is available.
