Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday

[Tha Realest]

So far we have far more members of the 20th Century Fox legacy X-Men films than Marvels/Eternals combined.

 

[Tha Realest]

Channing Tatum’s back!

 

[Phroobar]

Rachel Zegler (Dazzler)

So what is Dazzler's super power? The ability to destroy a film's marketing with ten second sound bites?

 

[MisterPenguin]

At least we know the Thunderbolts* will survive the ending of their movie.

They could die still in Thunderbolts and then appear in a flashback in this movie.

Or wind up being a variant.

 

[MisterPenguin]

It'd be funny to see two chairs for Chris Evans.

And Josh Brolin.

And Michael B. Jordan

And Jon Favreau.

Let's hope not.

I'll break the bad news to Robert Downey Jr.

They’re saving Iman Vellani for her own video.

They’re saving Iman Vellani for her own video.

Why all this hate for Iman Vellani?

 

[Wendy Pleakley]

Didn't they once say they were going back to a smaller team like the first Avengers?

This seems simultaneously amazing but also a little desperate.

I feel the success of Deadpool Vs. Wolverine really cemented the approach of just throwing every bit of name recognition and nostalgia into a movie and people will eat it up.

I don’t know. Ask Kevin Feige why neither she nor any of her Marvels costars made the cut so far, but 20CF castoffs did

That is not what I meant and you know it.

Doomday and Secret Wars was always going to be a huge ensemble cast. So don't see how they can go back to a 5 person team when the story is meant to be universe impactful if going based off the comics.

None of the Young Avengers purported casting has appeared.

I kind of think the TV side needs its own "Avengers" and that's always been the more likely outcome.

Agreed, though I expect to see them (and almost everyone still left on the board not already in this movie) in Secret Wars.

 

[Hawkeye_2018]

No Hawkeye yet so guaranteed the hero’s get their a$$ kicked in Doomsday

 

[Agent H]

There was a lot of people left out of this. I believe someone mentioned Ms. Marvel?

The reason it gives a bit of desperation vibes is they're not willing to wait. I assumed they'd develop previous Fox properties like X-Men and Fantastic Four from the ground up and build to another big event.

Endgame was a true culmination of story and characters developed well over time. The fact that a comic book movie could open with 45 minutes or so of mostly drama and character, and not bore audiences, is a testament to that.

I feel here they want another big event but instead of earning it they're dragging the X-Men out of mothballs as a bit of a cheat so they can do it right now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with using the existing franchise, and I'm sure it will be fun. I do wonder why they're so dependent on the old pre-MCU stuff all of a sudden.
