Some of Our Favorite Memes From the Avengers: Doom...

It took almost five and a half hours, but on Wednesday, Marvel Studios announced the cast of next year’s big summer release, Avengers: Doomsday. They were revealed in a simple but stretched-out PR stunt in which 27 director’s chairs, each bearing an actor’s name, were revealed about every 15 minutes or so on a livestream. It then ended with the one cast member we did know about, Robert Downey Jr., appearing. That long break between each reveal gave plenty of time for the internet to have fun with the stunt which, we assume, is exactly what Disney and Marvel wanted.

Fans joked about who could appear in the movie, who would appear in the movie, who they want to see in the movie, and so much more. Brands got involved, the cuts got deeper, and while the whole thing took the better part of a day, it was all pretty fun.

Below is just a small sampling of some of our favorite memes from the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement, which you can watch right here and read more about here.

It’s 2032. Another chair is placed. It reads Kat Dennings. I reflect on my children. How much they’ve grown, and how much I’ve missed since I started watching the Live Stream. #AvengersDoomsday pic.twitter.com/bb4mfo8bQW
