Spot the missing Avenger. With *Avengers: Doomsday* arriving on December 18, 2026, the marketing machine is in full swing, with villain-heavy posters, trailers and a wall of toys. But one confirmed hero keeps vanishing from the picture: Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost.

## Avengers: Doomsday – Overview

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| **Film** | *Avengers: Doomsday* |
| **Release date** | December 18, 2026 |
| **Character** | Ghost (Ava Starr) |
| **Actor** | Hannah John-Kamen |
| **MCU debut** | *Ant-Man and the Wasp* (2018) |
| **Team** | New Avengers, introduced in *Thunderbolts* (2025) |
| **Confirmed** | Cast announcement in March of last year |
| **Issue** | Largely absent from official promotional merchandise |

## Why Fans Are Noticing?

Ghost debuted as an antagonist in *Ant-Man and the Wasp* before joining the New Avengers in *Thunderbolts*. She even got her own director’s chair at the film’s big cast announcement, which was met with real fanfare. Yet since then, several campaigns have skipped her, while teammates like Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes sit front and centre.

## Where Ghost Has Been Left Out?

| Promo item | Ghost’s status |
| --- | --- |
| **Marvel Legends, first wave (September)** | Not included |
| **Marvel Legends, second wave (October)** | Not included |
| **LEGO sets (five total)** | No minifigure, though Yelena, Red Guardian, Bucky and Sentry all feature |
| **Funko Pop! wave** | Left out while teammates appear |
| **Trailers** | Only brief background glimpses |
| **25 character posters** | Absent from all of them |
| **“Silence Your Phones” theatre ad** | Present, but at the very back of the cinema |

She did appear in Andy Park’s concept illustration, standing with Red Guardian, Yelena, Bucky and John Walker, so Marvel hasn’t erased her entirely.

## Is This a Pattern?

Sadly, yes. The report points out that Ghost has been sidelined before:

- **2018:** Hasbro skipped her in the *Ant-Man and the Wasp* Marvel Legends wave. Her first figure came a year later in a 2019 two-pack.
- **Thunderbolts:** Hasbro and Funko again prioritised other team members.
- **Doomsday:** the same pattern of the reformed villain being left out continues.

## What Could It Mean?

The article raises a few possibilities, and all of them are speculation:

1. **Her role may be small.** She could simply have a minor part in a huge cast.
2. **She may not survive.** Rumours say several heroes are earmarked to die, and Doom is built as an overwhelming threat.
3. **It may not matter.** Heavy promo doesn’t guarantee a big role. Taskmaster was all over *Thunderbolts* marketing and was killed off early.

So less merchandise isn’t proof of anything. Treat all of this as fan theory until the film arrives.

## Other Heroes With Little Promo

| Character | Actor | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Nightcrawler** | Alan Cumming | Not in any trailer shot yet, though he has some merch, including a LEGO minifigure |
| **Red Guardian** | David Harbour | A few trailer moments, LEGO and Funko releases, but little push |
| **Sentry** | Lewis Pullman | Small presence despite being among the most powerful characters |
| **John Walker (U.S. Agent)** | Wyatt Russell | On posters and some merchandise, but no action figure yet |

Marvel appears to be centring its campaign on the biggest names and Doctor Doom, since the film has the largest cast the studio has ever assembled. That focus is unlikely to change as release day approaches. For more on the film, see [Avengers: Doomsday on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Doomsday).
