Avengers: Doomsday - Marvel's Multiverse Mashup

0:00It's April 17th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered and star-driven. Marvel drops some major details on Avengers, Doomsday at Cinemacon in Las Vegas this week. The story pits heroes from three different universes on a deadly crash course against an existential threat they've never faced before. It picks right up after Avengers, Endgame, with Robert Downey Jr. back in the MCU, but this time as the villain Victor von Doom. The Russo's brothers are directing, and Kevin Feige highlighted how original, X-Men stars are key to this multiverse mash-up. Think Hugh Jackman connections, but confirmed returns include, Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier, James Marsden as Cyclops, and McClellan as Magneto. Rebecca Remind is Mystique, Alan Cumming is Nightcrawler, and Kelsey Grammar is Beast. Channing Tatum joins his gambit of Fresh Face in that role. Feige shared his early days at 20th Century Fox, where he first worked on the 2000 X-Men flick and met that iconic cast.

1:04Fans are buzzing about the nostalgia, especially after McClellan teased Magneto-recking New Jersey. Feige and Joe Russo played it off lightly, joking it might not go down that way, but confirmed a strong New Jersey vibe. Downey and Chris Evans showed up with Feige and the Russo's to hype a new trailer screened just for theater owners. The cast is stacked with returns, like Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Paul Rudd, Florence Pew, and a bunch more, plus Newcomer Wesley Holloway and an Ann, unknown role. All this build serious hype for the film's premiere on December 18th, blending old Fox favorites with the full MCU machine for what could be. The biggest crossover yet.
