\n\tFinally, at long last, the Avengers are assembling again!<\/p>\n
\n\tThis much-anticipated reunion of Earth\u2019s Mightiest heroes can\u2019t come soon enough. It\u2019s been six difficult years for movie theater owners since their last heroic team-up in 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tTo the thrill of exhibitors from Seattle to Key West, Disney unveiled the first full-length trailer for \u201cAvengers: Doomsday<\/a>\u201d at CinemaCon<\/a> as part of the studio\u2019s presentation to theater owners. Until now, Marvel has only offered four brief teasers focusing on Captain America, Thor, the X-Men and Fantastic Four answering the ultimate call to battle.<\/p>\n \n\tThe trailer starts with a look at Downey Jr.\u2019s green-hooded, metal-faced Doctor Doom as he prepares to invade the multiverse. There\u2019s a shot of Prof. Xavier looking out his X-Mansion\u2019s window as a bright flash of light is outside, signaling trouble. It\u2019s a flood of crossovers from there: Gambit and Shang-Chi battle; Mystique transforms into Yelena Belova, resulting in a Florence Pugh vs. Florence Pugh fight; and Thor and Doom face off, but Doom catches Thor\u2019s magical hammer Mjolnir with his bare hands. <\/p>\n \n\tThe biggest moment comes when Chris Evans\u2019 Steve Rogers makes his triumphant return and reunites with Thor. Thor is shocked at his Avengers teammate\u2019s return after Cap had went back in time to grow old with his sweetheart Peggy Carter in \u201cEndgame.\u201d It\u2019s still unclear how Cap is back, but he\u2019s clearly still worthy enough to pick up Thor\u2019s hammer, just like he did during the Thanos battle in \u201cEndgame.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJust like how \u201cInfinity War\u201d and \u201cEndgame\u201d brought together the Guardians of the Galaxy, Wakandans and the Avengers, \u201cDoomsday\u201d intermixes Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes with the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts. After the Fantastic Four\u2019s ship crossed into the MCU in the post-credits scene of \u201cThunderbolts,\u201d 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). There\u2019s also a tense showdown between Black Panther\u2019s Wakandan forces and Namor\u2019s underwater Talokans after the two armies clashed in \u201cWakanda Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJoe and\u00a0Anthony Russo are directing \u201cDoomsday\u201d and 2027\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars,\u201d which will conclude the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. The filmmakers have alluded the back-to-back tentpoles will be connected, \u00e0 la the two-part story of 2018\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d and \u201cEndgame.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPlot details for \u201cDoomsday\u201d have been kept under wraps, but Robert Downey Jr. is back, too \u2014 not in his career-defining role as Iron Man, but as Doctor Victor von Doom, the main villain for the Fantastic Four. In what promises to be the superhero extravaganza of the year, \u201cDoomsday\u201d features a kitchen sink of Avengers and X-Men, including Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Channing Tatum as Gambit and many more heroes.<\/p>\n
