I used to be one of many first individuals on the earth to look at the Avengers Doomsday trailer twice with Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans, and as a Marvel fan, I am lastly getting excited for the MCU once more.
Marvel Studios reveals the solid for Avengers: Doomsday
Seven years on from Avengers Endgame and the MCU has been actually hit or miss. With Kang star Jonathan Majors dropped from the franchise, Marvel boss Kevin Feige gave the longer term film slate a shake up by doing essentially the most bankable and apparent factor for Disney: Convey again not solely Avengers Infinity Warfare and Avengers Endgame administrators The Russo Brothers, but additionally Iron Man and Captain America stars Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans for Avengers 5 & 6 aka Avengers Doomsday and Avengers Secret Wars.
Solely, Tony Stark is useless, so Downey is now enjoying Physician Doom, a scientific genius and sorcerer – the largest unhealthy of Marvel Comics. In the meantime, Steve Rogers gave his protect to Sam Wilson, making him the brand new Cap, however the authentic Tremendous Soldier is someway younger once more (we’ll get to that). Following a string of mini teaser trailers final Christmas, the primary correct Avengers Doomsday trailer concluded Disney’s studio presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, which I used to be attending as Each day Categorical Movie Editor and was very a lot blown away by… twice!

Avengers Doomsday trailer was screened twice at CinemaCon (Picture: GETTY)
Downey Jr, wearing Physician Doom inexperienced, swaggered by the viewers of The Dolby Colosseum at Caesars Palace to hitch Evans, Feige and the Russos on stage earlier than all of them turned to the display above to debut the world premiere of the Avengers Doomsday trailer. And boy was it definitely worth the wait.
The very first thing to say is that Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is as soon as once more a MVP superhero, as he was in Avengers Infinity Warfare. And in contrast to how comical and overtly foolish he turned in Endgame and Thor Love and Thunder, we’re again to critical short-haired God of Thunder right here, which is sensible given the Aussie star felt the latter movie went too far together with his character’s japes.
Thor’s solemn voice booms over the footage: “I fought with many warriors in my time. They had been far stronger than all of us put collectively, they died. They died going through enemies and threats that scared me far lower than this one. All the things they sacrificed for can be for nothing if we don’t stand collectively… For those who return, you’ll return as brothers and sisters.”
As teased by Feige, this can be a correct Avengers and X-Males crossover. We witness Patrick Stewart’s Professor X observing an incursion (this can be a multiverse film in spite of everything), James Marsden’s Cyclops unleashing his laser eyeballs, Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique turning into Florence Pugh’s Yelena and Shang-Chi battling Channing Tatum’s Gambit. We additionally noticed pictures of the Unbelievable 4 becoming a member of the Avengers (together with the Thunderbolts) of their new tower, alongside outdated favourites like Ant-Man. After which there’s Physician Doom.
Downey’s Doom is masked all the time on this trailer, bending over a battle scene earlier than Thor strikes him with Stormbreaker, just for the Marvel villain to cease the God of Thunder’s weapon with a single finger. We’re properly past Thanos now. We additionally get the debut of Downey’s voice, which sounds a bit Japanese European, tying in with the nation he guidelines, Latveria. He warns of an “unattainable resolution” that must be made. The Russos and Feige teased previous to the trailer drop: “He’s nearly unbeatable”. And eventually, Thor says “it’s not doable”, earlier than Mjolnir flies out of his hand into the worthy mitt of Steve Rogers; a younger Steve Rogers. How? Nicely, Evans teased this.

Earlier than exhibiting the trailer, Evans confessed he had stated he would solely return as his character if there was an actual cause for Steve Rogers to come back again. And he’s assured there’s now, very a lot. So it appears like he, alongside Thor, is one other MVP in Avengers Doomsday – which is one thing the Russos have additionally been saying. In any case, Feige teased this movie could be very a lot a direct sequel to Avengers Endgame. Now we’ve bought an enormous concept on this, so look out for that article within the coming days. However for now, what I can safely say as a Marvel fan is, I’m lastly getting enthusiastic about this franchise once more. And you realize why? Listening to fellow Marvel followers shout with pleasure collectively within the cinema as soon as once more.
