The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Arrives And It Confirms Marvel Fans’ Worst Fears

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 17 seconds ago

Marvel Studios made a big deal with its first trailer Avengers: Doomsdaywhich was to premiere before James Cameron’s upcoming film Image: Fire and Ashes. However, the trailer has recently leaked online, and it focuses entirely on the return of the beloved Steve Rogers.

It is reported that Chris Evans will play the main character in this highly anticipated film, but this is actually a bad sign: it shows that Marvel has officially run out of ideas, and the main strategy to rescue their product from exhaustion is to compete with Steve Rogers and Tony Stark in a film that should be called. Captain America: Civil War 2.

In a way, Civil War Is Back

First of all Avengers: Doomsday the trailer (which we’re not allowed to show you here until it’s officially released) isn’t that impressive. He sees Steve Rogers getting off his motorcycle at home, holding a child (presumably his son with Peggy Carter) and staring at his old superhero suit. The trailer ends with the promise that “Steve Rogers will come back in Avengers: Doomsday.”

According to reliable scooper Daniel Richtman, the first trailer focuses on Steve for the simple reason that he will be the lead actor of the film; this goes along with the old rumor that Tony Stark’s Doctor is hunting Steve because the former Captain America changed the timeline by living in the past at the end Avengers: Endgame.

All of this makes sense from a marketing point of view, of course: one reason for the hero fatigue that has plagued Marvel is that audiences don’t like new heroes like Mr. Fantastic or Anthony Mack’s Captain America as they like the original Avengers. So, bringing back those key Avengers players is a big part Doomsday‘s marketing, and even went so far as to bring back Robert Downey Jr. as a completely new character. As much as audiences would want to see her and Chris Evans back on screen together again, I don’t think the fandom will be too excited about a movie with a basic plot that’s being retold over and over again. Captain America: Civil War.

Bring on the Cameos and Weird, New Lore

While Civil War was a strong Marvel film, best remembered for two things: the extended airport brawl between the various superheroes and the knock-down, drag-down battle at the end between Captain America and Iron Man. Previously, the marketing of Avengers: Doomsday emphasized its dense cast, including popular MCU mainstays (such as Loki, Bucky, and Thor) and fan-favorite X-Men from the 20th Century Fox films (such as Beast, Magneto, and Professor X). Obviously, the film promises that we will see tons of fights and team-ups with characters that would otherwise not interact, such as Captain America: Civil War on a large, very large scale.

Civil War he also revealed that Tony Stark’s parents were killed by Bucky back in his Winter Soldier days. When this news came out, the relationship between Captain America and Iron Man became sour, a relationship that became sour because these heroes took different sides on the issue of the registration of heroes. All this, of course, was a valid reason to oppose Steve Rogers and Tony Stark.

Marvel Studios’ Doomsday

Right now, that’s it Avengers: Doomsday it feels like repetition. We get a timey-wimey story and a big multiversal crossover event so that these two guys who cry for each other in 2016 can cry for each other in 2026, ending up as beloved rival teams. At best, this will be the worst version of the big screen battle we’ve already seen; At worst, this gamble could sink the MCU when the public realizes that Marvel’s new movie is built on recycled ideas.

Of course, you have to recycle old ideas when you can’t create new ones, which is where the Marvel Cinematic Universe is right now. As a fan of the old school, I would like to be wrong here, and I sincerely hope so Avengers: Doomsday you deserve it The end of the game a sequel that blows us all away. But judging by the intense online response to the leaked trailer and its Steve Rogers deal, it looks like Marvel is about to erase its cultural legacy sooner than Robert Downey Jr.’s new character.
