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.

This casting line-up was a huge surprise for fans, especially with the return of original X-Men franchise performers in Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Alan Cumming, Kelsey Grammar, Rebecca Romijn as Professor X, Magneto, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Beast and Mystique, along with Channing Tatum, who made an incredible impact on audiences in Deadpool & Wolverine as Gambit.

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.

Avengers: Doomsday will arrive in cinemas on May 1, 2026.

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.

Check out the official teaser trailer below:

Here’s the synopsis:

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!

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.

Avengers: Infinity War will be released in cinemas on April 25, 2018.
