- Marvel Studios unveiled the second "Avengers: Doomsday" trailer at Disney's D23 fan convention on Friday, a two-minute clip that largely mirrors footage shown at San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H panel last month.
- Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom blasts Chris Hemsworth's Thor with green energy, then raises an army of Sentinels, declaring "Hell answers to me, for I am Doom."
- Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm warns Earth's mightiest heroes that Doom is "broken," before Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards confronts the Latverian villain amid a heap of rubble.
- The film marks the official MCU debut of Fox's past X-Men stars — Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Kelsey Grammer, Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming, and Channing Tatum — following Disney's acquisition of Fox.
- "Avengers: Doomsday" arrives in theaters Dec. 18, uniting the Avengers, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Thunderbolts casts alongside the incoming X-Men roster.
- Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America) and Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) joined Downey Jr. to introduce the clip, marking Evans' return to the role after he stepped away in "Endgame."
Why it matters: "Doomsday" marks the official MCU debut of Fox's past X-Men stars — Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, and Channing Tatum — in a single Dec. 18 film that unites the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and X-Men casts for the first time, making it the most ambitious cross-franchise team-up since Disney absorbed Fox.
