Avengers: Doomsday Explained Before You Watch

Spoiler note: this episode discusses earlier Marvel films and series, including Avengers: Endgame, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the Endgame Encore scenes and VisionQuest. It contains nothing from Avengers: Doomsday itself. Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo for Marvel Studios, opens in UK cinemas on Wednesday 16 December, two days ahead of the US. It brings Robert Downey Jr. back to the MCU, not as Tony Stark but as Victor von Doom. In this episode we explain who Doctor Doom is in the comics, why Marvel cast Downey, and the story behind that Comic-Con reveal. We go through what Marvel has officially said about the plot, including its logline about three universes on a collision course, and the confirmed cast. Then we recap the multiverse so far and the scenes that point straight at Doomsday: The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the new Endgame Encore scenes and VisionQuest. We finish with a realistic watch list for UK viewers, what the Secret Wars comics might suggest, and what Marvel still hasn't revealed.
