Analysis

This probability reflects market expectations that at least one major character will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, the upcoming MCU film. The 90% level suggests traders view character appearances as highly likely, given Marvel's typical roster strategy for ensemble films. The primary driver is Marvel Studios' established pattern of featuring multiple established heroes in Avengers events. What would move this probability: official cast announcements from Marvel, trailer releases showing specific characters, or director/studio statements about the film's scope. The biggest resolution catalyst is the film's theatrical release and any official cast reveals in trailers or press materials before then. Current market data shows varied confidence across individual characters—Doctor Strange trades at 80% while Spider-Man variants range from 25% to 64%—suggesting uncertainty about which specific heroes will participate rather than doubt about the film featuring recognizable characters overall.

  • Tom Holland Spider-Man contract trades at 64¢ while Andrew Garfield Spider-Man trades at 25¢, indicating market assigns much higher probability to MCU continuity appearance than multiverse inclusion
  • Benedict Cumberbatch Doctor Strange has the highest individual character probability at 80¢, suggesting traders expect established Avengers to return
  • Jonathan Majors/Kang contract trades at only 17¢ despite being the stated villain, potentially reflecting casting uncertainty or narrative direction doubts
  • The 90% leader probability significantly exceeds all individual character probabilities, indicating markets expect multiple characters but disagree on which specific ones
  • 24-hour volume concentrates on Spider-Man and Doctor Strange contracts, suggesting these are primary focal points for trader conviction changes

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
