Avengers: Doomsday

The culmination of the Multiverse Saga assembles legacy Avengers and the newly integrated Fantastic Four against Doctor Doom — a villain the franchise has been building toward since Loki established the multiverse as its central mythology. Where Infinity War put the audience in Thanos's perspective, Doomsday positions Doom as a strategic rather than cosmic threat: a man whose intelligence and patience make him more dangerous than any single point of power. The Russo brothers' return to the franchise promises the structural sophistication that made Civil War and Infinity War the most dramatically successful large-ensemble entries.
