CinemaCon just ended and we got some big reveals for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie directed by the Russo Brothers and topbilled by the returning Robert Downey Jr who now plays the evil Doctor Doom in the MCU!

The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday was EVERYTHING that I could’ve ever wanted it to be and so much more. WOW!
We see Xavier’s school sign on the ground… A narrator says, “Something’s coming, something we may not be able to deter…”Xavier sees flames come from the sky out his window, looking genuinely scared. Doom is presumably one who has been narrating, slight accent and all, and we see him start to rise in another setting… hood and mask on.The New Avengers tower, with the new A logo is seen. The building is updated and has three spires. The Fantastic Four meet Bucky, Ant-Man, Captain America and more in that building.We hear Thor telling stories of his people dying and how this threat scares him more than anything before… he narrates the rest of the trailer with this quote;Thor: “I have fought with many warriors in my time. They were far stronger than any of us combined and they died. They died facing enemies and threats that scared me far less than this one. Everything that we sacrficied will be for nothing if we do not stand together….If you return, you will return as brothers and sister but mark my words…we’re going to need a miracle.”Cyclops is seen in a new shot. Gambit fights Shang-Chi, both using their powers and it looks epic and like a dance. The Fantastic Cour meet Wakandans in a desert made because water has been forced away, surrounding them like giant walls.Yelena marches past a concerned Reed Richards… She literally fights herself and we see one Yelena was Mystique.As Thor’s speech is still going, Thor smashes Stormbreaker at Doctor Doom who simply catches it with one hand.He emphasizes, “We’re going to need a miracle,” to conclude his speech.“Hey pal,” is heard from someone off screen, aboard the Fantastic Four’s ship. It was Steve Rogers, complete with some long hair and a beard, leaving Thor in disbelief.Steve raises his hand, pulling Stombreaker from Thor’s and catching it with a grin.
Avengers: Doomsday. December 18.
So yeah there’s a lot to unpack here.
For starters this trailer already gives us an idea of how powerful Doctor Doom is when it comes to pure physicality, being able to stop Stormbreaker dead on its tracks like it was some lightweight weapon. Remember Stormbreaker was strong enough to cut off Thanos’ head at the start of Avengers: Endgame.
For me the other big moment here is the fight between Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi against the X-Men’s Gambit played for the second time by Channing Tatum.
We also have more X-Men goodness with a reveal that there’s going to be a fight between Florence Pugh’s Yelena against our OG Mystique.
Overall, this looks like a fun ride as we race towards the inevitable Marvel Cinematic Universe reset that is Avengers: Secret Wars.
