Avengers: Doomsday appears to be largely taking part in the hits, bringing back Chris Evans as the should’ve-been-retired Steve Rogers, casting Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. as Physician Doom after he’d seemingly retired from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Avengers: Endgame, and wrangling a slew of X-Men from the Fox movies. These characters, corresponding to Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Ian McKellen’s Magneto, are the topic of the newest theater-exclusive Doomsday trailers playing in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash, and whereas it doesn’t beat the “fanservice nostalgia slop” allegations, it’s a reminder that I’m a mark first and a hater second as a result of these are my superhero peepaws.
Shaky digicam recordings from inside theaters have been uploaded on social media and brought down by Marvel virtually instantly after. When you seek for it on locations like YouTube and X, you’ll in all probability stumble into just a few AI mock-ups of them as slop content creators take advantage of the moment. However the gist of it’s that we see some photographs of a desecrated Xavier Institute, with Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr doing what they at all times do once they’re not locked in a battle of beliefs: taking part in chess amidst the destruction.
The 2 maintain arms with the eagerness and tenderness of decades-long friends-to-enemies-to-lovers as Magneto talks concerning the inevitability of dying, however then this second of homoeroticism is interrupted by two photographs of Donut Lord himself James Marsden lastly returning to the function of Cyclops for the primary time since his temporary cameo in 2014’s X-Males: Days of Future Previous. He seems to be in a comic-accurate blue-and-yellow swimsuit, which implies that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine isn’t the one X-Man getting some color in their wardrobe after principally carrying the jet-black fits within the unique Fox movies.

For now, this trailer is simply taking part in in theaters earlier than Avatar: Hearth and Ash, but when the Steve Rogers teaser is something to go by, Marvel might be importing it in prime quality on its YouTube channel within the coming days.
