The Fantastic Four’s Ben Grimm meets M’Baku and Shuri in the latest teaser for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday.
After the recent X-Men teaser finally kicked the hype train into high gear, Marvel has dropped the latest teaser for Avengers: Doomsday. Hot on the trail of the Steve Rogers, Thor, and X-Men teasers that smacked with all the emotional heft one might expect from an Avengers movie, the next teaser takes us to Wakanda. The short one-minute preview reunites us with Shuri and M’Baku as they traverse the desert, while Namor continues to fester after his defeat. But waiting to greet the delegates from Wakanda is the Fantastic Four’s Ben Grimm, aka The Thing.
Things are definitely heating up, and the emotional weight lacking from the first teasers has now been unleashed full bore. The film feels far more significant now than ever, and the fanbase is already counting down the days to release. But don’t just take my word for it. Assemble your team and hit play on the teaser below.
CAST & CREW
The Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men have assembled for Avengers: Doomsday. The impressive lineup includes a mix of fan-favorite characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some actors from the original X-Men movies, and fresh faces from Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, the film has some notable absences. Tom Holland will not appear as Spider-Man, Don Cheadle will not return as War Machine, and there will be no mention of Deadpool and Wolverine.
However, the confirmed cast is brimming with Marvel legends. The cast announced included Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Danny Ramirez (The Falcon), and Winston Duke (M’Baku). Stars from the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie are also joining the party with Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), and Lewis Pullman listed.
THE X FACTOR
One of the most exciting additions to the cast is the original X-Men stars. The announcement confirmed that Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) from the original X-Men are all returning. They will be joined by Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) from X2: X-Men United and Kelsey Grammer (Beast), who appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand. In an exciting twist, Channing Tatum will reprise his role as Gambit from Deadpool and Wolverine, rounding out this impressive lineup.
FANTASTIC FOUR
If the X-Men aren’t enough to convince you to book your tickets, members of the Fantastic Four are also joining the fight against Doctor Doom. This includes Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as The Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as The Human Torch. Additionally, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, who portrayed Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is set to feature in some capacity.
RELEASE
What a powerhouse of a teaser. With the Fantastic Four now joining the ranks of the MCU, Doomsday promises to become the ultimate battle to save the Multiverse. The Avengers movies are always landmark events, and with Captain America, Thor, the X-Men, and The Fantastic Four now confirmed to return, Avengers: Doomsday has gone from exhilarating to unmissable.
