Avengers: Doomsday General News & Discussion Thread

[Dark Raven]

For the

I do wonder how much harder it's going to be for Marvel Studios to introduce its own X-Men when they've spent the last five years leaning into nostalgia for the Fox cast.

This seems somewhat short-sighted to me. Choosing immediate satisfaction instead of considering the long game. Maybe I'm wrong.

Can we at least give McKellen a decent costume for a change?

Maybe he'll get a Gandalf costume instead.

I thought it was an effective way of spreading hype rather than just announcing them all in 1 single post.

I mean we are literally in a message board talking about movies that are always years away. 5 hours of livestream is really nothing in comparison.

I actually enjoyed it yesterday. I went to work and just checked my phone every 13 minutes for the music to hit. I thought it was fun and clever. I'm wondering if they're gonna do the same thing with the other characters or just announce them separately?

I'm excited to see the X-Men again and were quite possibly gonna get every Marvel movie character on screen in both Avengers movies. Then after Secret Wars were gonna get a soft reboot.

I was so focused on who is in this film that I didnt take a second to realize who isnt. Namely no Captain Marvel or Eternals. Wow

 

[Zyraquis]

Not just the Eternals, they are trying to forget The Marvels existed, even one of the main characters was directly injected into the X men world that was revealed. Can’t blame them given the movie’s epic proportion bomb. Or maybe the actors/actresses are still negotiating the contract so they cannot be revealed yet.

Doesn't he run a podcast discussing for countless of hours regarding Marvel rumours and scoops?

Its not like Marvel Studios announced the cast for 50 weeks. It was 5 consecutive hours. In comparison to Dofp, cast announcements went on for months.

Its just unnecessary complaining, when he spends plenty of his time discussing about these films when it comesto heresays.

They didn't forget Marvels existed as Kelsey Grammer is returning after his small appearance in that film.

Nick Fury, Carol, Kamala, Maria and Monica could be in Secret Wars or just haven't been announced yet for Doomsday.

Eternals on the other hand, I don't see much loss by just ignoring it. The film wasn't even tied to the multiverse unlike the Marvels.

A5 must deal with 616 avengers and allies fighting the villain

and A6 remaining 616 avengers/allies alongside characters from others earths fighting together

Seems there are a lot of changes. Sorry but only 3 formers Avengers (Thor Antman Cap) alongside some allies (Shuri MBaku Namor Falcon ShangShi) and Thunderbolt/F4.......
thats a joke ?? miss a lot of others main characters

Hope that is not finished

 

[DyeLorean]

In their defense, the list of characters is impossible for a feature film (or even two) at this point. There's just too many.
And now that they've incoporated the original X-Men, there's even more that I wasn't even counting.
On the other hand, having old characters return prevents a lot of new ones from showing up. So, that's on them.

YET!

Monica and Maria have to be in this right? If this Beast is the same as the one we saw in The Marvels, then surely they’re in this but just haven’t been announced. I really hope these two along with Carol and Kamala haven’t been pushed aside because of the failure of the Marvels. They’re still good characters who deserve another chance. Same goes for the Eternals because while both these movies were flawed, I think there was enough good in them for these characters to earn a second chance.

I also really want them to move on to a new cast for the X-Men but these were my favourite actors as my favourite characters in my favourite movies as a kid so I can’t help but be excited. I just hope they don’t make Cyclops the unstable, violent version he has been in the comics lately. I could see the Russos doing that to make him more “interesting” .

 

[psylockolussus]

We've seen Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame, so its possible for them to handle this huge set of characters, especially these are all returning characters anyway, even if the story continuity of Foxverse isn't counted. A quick recap at the start of the movie and maybe ten minutes of introduction to Fox actors and the new Doom, shouldn't take too much time. I bet the movie would be fast paced.

Like sections of Infinity War and Endgame, I think both Doomsday/Secret Wars would be divided into sections/locations and we'd only see certain characters in that location/scene, similar to how Red Skull/Ancient One/Peter Dinklage's MCU character were only seen in 1 location. Someone like M'Baku, i can't see him having a lot of scenes. Loki who is at the heart/center of the multiverse, could just be seen at the final act.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I imagine more cast will be revealed at some point. But there were definitely some disappointing omissions there.

Well Channing Tatum, Jennifer Garner, Chris Evans and Wesley Snipes weren't officially announced until Comic Con 2024, which was during D&W's opening week.

There will be surprises and cameos especially in the post credits scene. Even if its like a pager that shows a logo of someone.

Some folks are saying it's not the beast from the marvels but the fox version.



This was also posted awhile ago but we see if it's still true or not.

Really surprised Reynolds or Jackman weren't confirmed for this.

There's still plenty of time for that.

 

[psylockolussus]

Those two are likely to get a huge screentime in Secret Wars, so I'd take it as a win for characters showing up first in Doomsday.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I think the goal of having so many characters like this is to have them split up into teams like Infinity War. Then having teams meat up mid-way through the movie. Most of these characters don't need an introduction.

Also, I'm just spitballing here. Robert Downy Jr. at the end of the announcement video did a shhhhh. Now, I'm just assuming he means quiet on the set, but there was three times in the MCU(that I remember) where characters did a shhhhh in the movie.

Iron Man in Endgame - To his daughter
Captain America in the Winter Soldier - To the kid that recognized him in the museum
Ebon Maw in Infinity War - To Thor

All three of those movies were directed by the Russos. If they do another announcment video, I wonder if Chris Evans is gonna be the final reveal.

Just a thought I had the other day, but I'm sure that shhhh is really nothing.

The fact that this hasn't even begun filming, they don't have a finished script, it isn't their original plan and it comes out in just a year is giving me big red flags.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I dont think it means anything

 

[psylockolussus]

They just said they are in production the other day? So are you telling us, the cameras haven't started rolling yet?

Starting in March 2025 to film is still a year away from May 2026, and they are also filming Secret Wars along with it, which is two years away from SW's release.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I think they said April was the start date last I heard

They're in production (building sets and stuff) but haven't actually started filming.
