10 Huge Casting Surprises Avengers: Doomsday Could Still Pull

10. Jeffrey Wright As The Watcher

There has been relatively little multiverse in this Multiverse Saga so far, with only a handful of the 12 movies and 14 TV shows (and counting) addressing the possibilities of alternate realities. The likes of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Loki have toyed with the concept, but none more so than What If...?

The premise of the entire show was that The Watcher presented audiences with a different story from a different universe every episode, as he was sworn to observe only and to never interfere.

This rule was broken several times by Jeffrey Wright's Uatu over the show's three-season run, as he often went out of his way to avert multiversal threats and disasters, even forming the Guardians of the Multiverse to stop Ultron from taking over everything.

Knowing that a character like that exists in the MCU, and with such a talented actor in Jeffrey Wright right there, it would feel like one hell of a missed opportunity if Uatu didn't at the very least watch at some point throughout Doomsday. He wouldn't be the first Watcher to appear in an MCU film, but he would certainly be the most significant.
