‘Avengers: Doomsday’ trailer: Doom speaks, Steve Rogers is back
Marvel Studios has released the official trailer for 'Avengers: Doomsday,' featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. The footage highlights a massive superhero crossover involving the Avengers, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four, alongside a reunion between Thor and Steve Rogers.
Why it matters
As a major tentpole for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this film represents a significant shift in franchise direction and casting strategy.
The first proper "Avengers: Doomsday" trailer is finally here — though it remains a bit light on the movie's plot. After releasing multiple short teasers to promote its upcoming superhero crossover, Marvel Studios on Monday unveiled its official trailer for "Doomsday." The new clip shows Thor (Chris Hemsworth) taking on the mysterious Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.), reuniting with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and trying to persuade various superhero teams — including the Avengers, the New Avengers (a.k.a. the Thunderbolts) and the Fantastic Four — to join forces. "Something's coming," says a mysterious voiceover. "Something we may not be able to deter. Before this day is done, we shall be faced with an unthinkable decision." The speaker is presumably Doom, who makes an appearance as the voiceover ends. In the comics, Victor von Doom hails from the fictional southeastern European country of Latveria.
