Doomsday is coming. The cast and filmmakers behind the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (in theaters December 18) took the stage in Hall H, where they treated fans to an exclusive new look at the film and a free giveaway poster. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo were joined by many of the film’s stars, who appeared in the back of the hall on specialized stages — one emblazoned with an X and the other with an Avengers symbol. Among the cast were Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer, James Marsden, Lewis Pullman, Tenoch Huerta, David Harbour, Hannah John Kamen, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Simu Liu, Danny Ramirez, Anthony Mackie, Paul Rudd, Pedro Pascal, Hayley Atwell, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr., all of whom united to take a massive selfie with the crowd.
Attendees in the hall also received a Doom mask and cape, which they donned as Downey took the microphone and the entire hall turned green.
“It’s not easy being green,” Downey told the crowd. “I need a lot of help. I need this whole family around me to finally assist me in being an arch-enemy, which is daunting.” The actor also reflected on Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel from 2024, when his casting was first announced.
“When y’all had faith in me two years ago, you lifted me up, and I think we made something real special,” he continued. “But decisions will have to be made. Perhaps you’re on the side of the good guys, or perhaps you’ll have to consider the alternative.”
In a surprise appearance, a grey Deadpool then popped up in the audience, revealed to be actor Ryan Reynolds in costume. He then peppered the cast with questions, before implying that he’d like to play a role in the film.
