With less than five months to go until the release of Avengers: Doomsday, a first-look trailer has finally been unveiled, giving us our best look yet at Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom.
The trailer features the same footage as was shown at CinemaCon in April, but has finally now been released online for all to see.
It kicks off with Downey Jr’s voice as Doom remarking that “Something’s coming, something we may not be able to deter.”
He continues, saying: “Before this day is done, we shall be faced with an unthinkable decision.”
Throughout the trailer we get shots of X-Men characters, including Professor X, Gambit, Magneto, Cyclops and Mystique, and see the Fantastic Four meet the Wakandans, plus both teams of Avengers, for the first time.
Key moments include Gambit fighting Shang-Chi, Thor giving an ominous speech, Loki brooding while looking at his TVA lanyard and Steve Rogers taking Mjolnir from Thor.
You can watch the trailer right here now.
The newly-released, official synopsis for Avengers: Doomsday says: “Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’s Avengers: Doomsday. Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.”
The cast of the film includes Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Paul Rudd, Simu Liu, Danny Ramirez, Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, David Harbour, Lewis Pullman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming, Kelsey Grammer, Channing Tatum, Tenoch Huerta Mejia and Tom Hiddleston.
