In a guttural tone, after wiping out the God of Thunder himself, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Doom utters “Hell answers to me…. for I am Doom.” And sets the stage for a bold and dynamic cinematic event that is about to reshape the very landscape of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a surprise that took all of us off-guard, Marvel Studios has delivered the first look trailer for what is shaping up to be 2026’s biggest cinematic moment with Avengers: Doomsday.

Watch the all-new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

In Avengers: Doomsday, beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.

Directors Anthiny and Joe Russo are back behind the camera to bring to life the latest chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe which they helped to define with both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a colossal cinematic event as heroes from three seperate multiverses converge together as the threat of the towering Doctor Doom comes to life, and from the drama and emotion of this new trailer, he’s an utterly terrifying foe to comprehend.

Doctor Doom also happens to be portrayed by Marvel legend Robert Downey Jr. whose surprise casting took many by surprise, and we get out first glimpse of him in action, following a subtle tease at the conclusion of The Fantastic Four:n First Steps, and we now see Downey Jr.’s doom go head-to-head with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and it’s going to be a hell of a brawl.

This new trailer delivers some pretty awesome footage, which showcases the X-Men in action, including James Marsden’s 1990s coded Scott Summers/Cyclops, Rebecca Romaijn as Mystique and Channing Tatum flexing as Gambit, along with highlighting the drawing of all of these universe’s together as the fight against Doctor Doom demands everything of both the Avengers, all the heroes of the multiverse.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there as we get our first look at a return Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) who is still worthy, and his presence at the end of this first look trailer promises a theatrical experience that will be utterly thrilling to behold.

It’s an incredibly exciting announcement and showcases the grand scale that filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo are taking with this project. The presence of Downey appearing in the announcement itself was also an important revelation given his shock casting as Doom, and with Joe Russo stating that Downey Jr. has taken on a chief role in the development of Doom for the MCU in relation to both the character’s back story, and has even provided suggestions in relation to his costume design for the picture.

While we’re only at the start of Avengers: Doomsday and audiences still have Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four: First Steps ahead of us to look forward to, and it’s generally becoming an exciting time with this new development within the MCU.

The post Marvel Studios’ ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ OFFICIALLY now in production appeared first on SpicyPulp.

Following the events of Avengers: Infinity War, with half of the universe killed in an event dubbed “The Decimation”, the universe lies in shambles and the remaining Avengers and their allies must reassemble to repair the damage caused by Thanos and bring harmony back to the universe

Be forewarned. This review will be written to be completely spoiler free and so in keeping with this I will not be delving into any specific plot points. As an experience, it’s far better to go into Avengers: Endgame completely blind and just let the entire film experience wash over you with it’s amazing collection of characters who find themselves facing the biggest fight of their lives.

For Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Endgame is the culmination of a journey that has been a long time in the making and it completely takes you by surprise. There’s no way that you can expect what is coming here and the narrative is particularly clever. Weaving in and out of the events of a post Infinity War universe, while also calling back to the past 21 MCU films that have come before it. All of it makes Avengers: Endgame a very seamless watch and you’ll be absolutely wired into the events that play out on screen.

One thing that I absolutely loved about Avengers: Endgame was how we were witnessing the way in which the events of Infinity War changed the core Avengers roster of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and just how each of these individuals reacted to Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) mighty snap. The growth and change in our heroes is definitely interesting, and their new status in a changed universe provides an interesting foundation for their heroism to grow from again.

The Russo’s pack this film to the brim with incredible action sequences and some astounding visual effects that really bring out the inner-Marvelness of Endgame, but through all of this the film feels like a distinctly character driven drama. While I would use the word epic to describe the events of Avengers: Endgame in detail, it was great to go on this journey with these characters as their heroism is tested to the limit and together this combination of epic visual spectacle, and intimate character storytelling makes for a very beautiful film to watch.

Narrative, spectacle and character are all parts of the filmmaking process, and Avengers: Endgame is the ultimate example of this art form coming together in perfect symphony. Cast and crew give their all to this production and it shows in every single frame of film. From the Russo Brothers narrative and direction to the cast’s commitment to performance to the gorgeous cinematography of Trent Opaloch, the kinetic pacing of editing by Jeffrey Ford and Matthew Schmidt and the heart pounding and emotive score provided by the great Alan Silvestri, Avengers: Endgame comes together perfectly and the result is simply incredible to behold. This film is a true testament to to the passion and energy of so many people with a desire to deliver something truly marvelous.

Avengers: Endgame is a film heavy with emotions and it touches on many important themes throughout its narrative. Love, loss, family and above all else heroism are explored to their fullest in this three hour long extravaganza and the Russo Brothers really deliver on the depth of the MCU, along with all the visual fanfare that we’ve come to expect from Marvel. The core idea at the heart of Avengers: Endgame is heroism and how no matter how broken or beaten down we may be we can always rise to the challenge when we are called upon, just as the Avengers do time and time again. While we thought that Infinity War would have been their greatest test, it is in Endgame that they really find their strength most challenged and their will to meet it and do the right thing is an extremely powerful message. With each new Marvel film we find out just what it means to be a hero and Avengers: Endgame is the ultimate thesis on this idea.

I never thought I could see a film bigger than Avengers: Infinity War. Well I did and that film was Avengers: Endgame. A true cinematic marvel that delivers on every single level and provides a fitting closure to Marvel Studios Phase Three and the past 11 years. This is the film that every single Marvel fan has long waited for and everyone involved in it delivers a hundred and ten percent to its success. They don’t get much better than this. Excelsior.

Picking up the actin of both of the first teaser and this year’s Super Bowl spot, the action moves both backwards and forwards as our heroes trace both their pasts and their new mission to re-write what Thanos did and save the universe for good.

Watch this amazing new trailer below:

Here’s the full synopsis:

Following the events of Avengers: Infinity War, with half of the universe killed in an event dubbed “The Decimation”, the universe lies in shambles and the remaining Avengers and their allies must reassemble to repair the damage caused by Thanos and bring harmony back to the universe

This new trailer really gets to the heart of who the Avengers are and how their heroic nature cannot be tamed and now more than ever these heroes are ready to stand up and fight for what is right.

The new footage on display is just amazing, not only do we see the return of the original core Avengers who include Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and the likes of Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Nebula (Karen Gillan), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Okoye (Danai Gurira), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) now also join their ranks. And this time they’re coming for Thanos with a fury to avenge the universe, as well as sporting all-new white and red suits, which has me thinking that our heroes might be taking their fight to the cosmos.

Get ready for the epic final showdown that is Avengers: Endgame where our heroes will do whatever it takes to save the universe, and which will arrive in cinemas on April 24.

And that’s exactly where we pick-up with the brand new trailer for Avengers: Endgame.

Watch the full trailer now:

Here’s the official synopsis:

Set following the cataclysmic events of Avengers: Infinity War, the remaining Avengers fight to re-set the balance of the universe and destroy Thanos forever.

The new trailer for Avengers: Endgame is a quick-fire look at a universe that has been decimated by Thanos. While Tony Stark is lost adrift in space with no idea of how he will get back to Earth, Steve Rogers, Natasha Ramanoff and the remaining Avengers try to think of a way to set things right.

But while share horror of Thanos’ actions might be rippling through the cosmos, there is also an unexpected hope that arises here and the fight is still on.

The footage presented here is a great first tease and we get to see the re-introduction of characters such as Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) who now appears to be a far darker and more extreme version of himself, along with the presence of the ever optimistic Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) who may just offer the Avengers with the solution they need to reset the universe and stop Thanos for good.

It doesn’t get much more amazing than this and you can be sure that Avengers: Endgame is going to be one hell of a rush when it arrives in cinemas next year in April 2019.

The post The first trailer for ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is here appeared first on SpicyPulp.

Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) are broken and disbanded. Earth’s greatest heroes have fallen by the wayside, and now a great darkness is growing. That darkness is Thanos (Josh Brolin), a celestial titan bent on control of the entire universe and who has come to collect the remaining Infinity Stones to do it. With the threat of extinction imminent Stark, Rogers and their allies, both old and new, will have to come together in order to battle Thanos and stop him before it’s too late!

Let me be clear. This is a SPOILER FREE review. As I am myself a lifelong Marvel Fan and I despise spoilers in every way possible I will not be hinting at any such thing.

So with that bit of housekeeping set in order where to begin? Well, let’s put it out there that Infinity War is WOW factor on a whole other level. This film is enormous. From its cast to landscape, action sequences and emotional resonance Infinity War has it all. And what’s more, it’s a team effort. While the Russo Brothers might be steering the ship, there is no single person that has built this film, as no single person has built the MCU. It has ultimately been the effort of a multitude of performers, directors, producers, artists, designers and craftsmen. A group of amazingly talented individuals who have given every part of themselves to this movie…and it really shows through. This is filmmaking on a whole other level and it transforms Infinity War from a mere movie into that of pure spectacle.

The defining part of Infinity War is that it truly ties everything together. This is after all the culmination of a 10-year journey to bring the MCU to life. While we’ve seen different parts of the MCU, and have seen our heroes interact with each another from time to time, this, in my opinion, is the first time that this interaction seems truly seamless.

This collective world building is glorious to behold and you can’t help but feel transported from the epicenter of New York to the vast ends of the cosmos. You’ll find yourself getting giddy as Doctor Strange talks to Iron Man, and the Guardians crash in on the party, or when Steve Rogers is greeted by King T’Challa of Wakanda and is welcomed into this hidden nation. All of it will have you salivating at how flawless it all is.

Civil War might have torn our heroes apart, but Infinity War is ultimately the film that brings them back together. While I can’t go into specifics without falling into huge SPOILER territory, what I will say is that Infinity War is a celebration of the very concept of what it means to be a hero. Not only do these characters provide us hope in the darkest of hours, but we know that they’ll never give up the fight and that whatever their own issues or hang-ups may be they’ll always put these aside for the greater good. Plus I’ve gotta admit that it’s pretty cool to see Steve Rogers, Black Panther, The Winter Soldier and Black Widow all standing next to one another in Wakanda!

But if Infinity War does belong to any single character then it’s definitely the Mad Titan himself Thanos. Crafted to perfection by Josh Brolin and rendered to life in amazing CGI artistry Thanos is leading the charge as the new villain to define cinema history for this generation. He’s everything you could want in a villain and Brolin does an incredible job of portraying his motives and desires for the Infinity Stones. The performance is completely 360 and is a credit to Brolin’s exceptional acting abilities. His casting was a brilliant piece of work by Marvel and he sure does deliver.

While I’ve mentioned the WOW factor briefly, I ask you, plead with you, that you go and see this film in IMAX.

As the first ever blockbuster film to be shot entirely in the IMAX format Infinity War comes alive on its gigantic screen. The colours are richer, the sounds are louder and the frame is not stripped away as it would for a conventional release. What you get out of this is a bigger, more immersive experience and again you truly feel like you’re in this film, and not just watching it. Film experiences that truly suck you into them are a rare thing these days, but this is not so with Infinity War in IMAX. It’s simply perfect and I could not find a flaw in this film. It’s that good. Marvel promised us the WOW factor, and they certainly delivered here.

If you’re seeking an amazing narrative, heroic characters, a complex villain, immersive worldbuilding and plenty of twists and turns along the way, well, you’ll get them with Infinity War. This film is delivered with a tremendous amount of passion and flair, and it shows through in every single frame. It might of been a long wait but in my opinion, it was well worth it. So please go in and marvel at the magnificence of Avengers: Infinity War. It’s a cinematic experience that is utterly unforgettable.

With the threat of extinction imminent Stark, Rogers and their allies, both old and new, will have to come together in order to battle Thanos and stop him before it’s too late!

This trailer has everything and more that we ever could want in it: Thanos, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, a fractured Avengers, the imminent destruction of Earth, a marauding titan bent on the universe’s destruction and an unstoppable fight to put things right with a never quit attitude in the face of absolute obstacle from Earth’s mightiest heroes.

In essence what we have here is the ultimate Marvel movie. The culmination of everything we have experienced over the last 10 years which began with 2008’s Iron Man and which has now finally lead us here.

Avengers: Infinity War is going to be the ultimate cinematic roller-coaster  ride and they’ll be plenty of intense and painful moments when everything falls down around our heroes. But if the MCU has taught us anything the Avengers will never, ever, give up and when a Mad Titan threatens the universe you can guarantee that a group of remarkable people will come together to fight the battles that we could never could and make damn sure they avenge us in the process.

Blockbusters don’t get much bigger than this and Avengers: Infinity War is far and away the most anticipated film of 2018. And I’m very, very excited for it.

Avengers: Infinity War will be released on April 25.

This new trailer is simply glorious, and it definitely leaves long-time Marvel fans, myself included, salivating at the thought of how amazing it is!

While there is an abundance of footage featuring characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thanos and what looks likes like one epic final stand on the fields of Wakanda, directors The Russo Brothers are clearly keeping their cards close to their chest.

While we get a taste, there’s more still to come, and this will certainly keep long-time fans guessing. Of particular interest is Josh Brolin’s performance as Thanos with the actor now taking centre stage. Should the Avengers be worried about him? You betcha, because this titan is coming for the Universe.

Check out my full initial reaction to the new trailer below with after-thought trailer commentary, and let me know what you thought of the trailer.
