After months of teasing us with reminders about how large Avengers: Doomsday’s cast is going to be, Marvel has finally released a proper trailer for the film.
Though Robert. Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom definitely appears to be causing a lot of the chaos in Doomsday’s first trailer, the movie seems like it’s going to feature more than a few moments where different teams of heroes fight one another. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) seems to be the only person who understands that the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the (New) Avengers need to be more focused on dealing with their new Latverian enemy. And while Thor might not be able to rally the troops on his own, Steve Rogers’ (Chris Evans) presence will probably bring them all together.
The trailer makes Doomsday seem like it’s going to be another humongous spectacle that puts a lot of emphasis on our nostalgia for Marvel’s old X-Men movies. Marvel probably has a few more Doomsday details we won’t hear about until the studio comes to San Diego Comic-Con later this week, which should get people even more hyped to see the film before it hits theaters on December 18th — the same day that Dune Part 3 hits theaters.
