Marvel Studios unveiled the second “Avengers: Doomsday” trailer on Friday during Disney’s D23 fan convention, further teasing the massive MCU team-up movie arriving in theaters Dec. 18.
The two-minute clip — introduced by “Doomsday” leads Robert Downey Jr. (Doctor Doom), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America) and Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) — sees Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm/Invisible Woman warning a collection of Earth’s mightiest heroes about the danger of the Latverian villain in between cuts focused on Doom’s costume.
“I knew he was lost,” Storm says. “But I did not realize that he was broken.”
The clip then cuts to Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic confronting Doom amid a heap of rubble before Chris Hemsworth’s Thor promises Doom “will be begging for hell long before I grant it.”
But before Thor can strike Doom with his axe Stormbreaker, as seen in the film’s first trailer, Doom blocks it before blasting the Norse god with a beam of green energy. Doom then raises a collection of Sentinels, the classic X-Men villains, before responding: “Hell answers to me, for I am Doom.”
The clip largely mirrors one shown last month during Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts and more heroes are joining forces to take down Downey’s Doctor Doom, marking the Iron Man actor’s return to the MCU after his original character died in “Avengers: Endgame.”
The cast is a sprawling who’s who of Marvel A-listers. In addition to Downey Jr. returning, Evans is back as Steve Rogers/Captain America after he traveled back in time and stepped away from his superhero duties in “Endgame.” Hemsworth also reprises his role as Thor, alongside Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Letitia Wright as Black Panther, Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Simu Liu as Shang-Chi.
The “Fantastic Four: First Steps” stars, comprised of Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing are back for “Doomsday,” as are the “Thunderbolts” cast, including Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent and Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost.
Notably, “Doomsday” mark the official MCU debut for several of Fox’s past “X-Men” stars after Disney acquired the studio. Patrick Stewart is back as Prof. Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen is Magneto, James Marsden is Cyclops, Kelsey Grammer is Beast, Rebecca Romijn is Mystique, Alan Cumming is Nightcrawler and Channing Tatum is Gambit.
