Marvel Studios has unveiled the first full-length trailer of Avengers: Doomsday at CinemaCon, offering a thrilling glimpse into a massive multiverse showdown. It was attended by Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans. Featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and the return of Steve Rogers, the film promises epic crossovers with the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and new Avengers.
About Avengers: Doomsday trailer
The trailer starts with a look at Downey Jr.`s green-hooded, metal-faced Doctor Doom as he prepares to invade the multiverse. There`s a shot of Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) looking out of his X-Mansion window as a bright flash of light outside signals trouble.
This is followed by a flood of crossovers, including a battle between Gambit (Channing Tatum) and Shang-Chi (Simu Liu); Mystique (Rebecca Romijn) transforms into Yelena Belova, resulting in a Florence Pugh vs. Florence Pugh fight; and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) faces off with Doom, who catches Thor`s magical hammer, Mjolnir, with his bare hands, reported Variety.
The biggest highlight of the trailer comes when Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers makes his triumphant return and reunites with Thor. The Asgardian is shocked at his Avengers teammate’s arrival, given that Cap had gone back in time to grow old with his sweetheart, Peggy Carter, in Endgame.
Similar to how Infinity War and Endgame brought together the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Wakandans, and the Avengers, Doomsday goes a step further by intermixing Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the Thunderbolts.
After the Fantastic Four’s ship crossed into the MCU in the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts, we finally see Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and Thing meeting the so-called New Avengers (consisting of Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Sentry, Ghost, Red Guardian, and U.S. Agent).
More about Avengers: Doomsday
Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are directing Doomsday and 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars, which will conclude the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. The filmmakers have alluded to the idea that the back-to-back tentpoles will be connected, similar to the two-part story of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, reported Variety.
Plot details for Doomsday have been kept under wraps, but it promises to be the superhero extravaganza of the year.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to open on December 18, the same day as Dune: Part Three, which could result in one of the biggest box office weekends in history. Meanwhile, Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to release a year later, on December 17, 2027.
