Well, it’s nearly here. Just as DC reels from yet another self-inflicted existential crisis, the MCU appears to be preparing to laugh in their faces again. It feels Avengers: Doomsday could well be the biggest movie of the year, with second place going to Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
With the inevitability of Doomsday approaching, this next few weeks are set to see a blizzard of publicity.
The countdown clock for the movie, that has been running online for weeks, has suddenly shifted colors to red. This happened after the finale of VisionQuest aired, which we will get to in a moment.
Meanwhile, the fine folks over at Empire have announced a new look at the film will be included on their site from tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Avengers: Endgame – Encore will arrive on Disney+ tomorrow, so expect several million people to suddenly only watch the last 10 minutes of Endgame all over again, to see the additional scenes that set up Doomsday.
Finally, the finale of VisionQuest is setting the internet alight with commentary on its teaser scene that confirms the return of a major character for Doomsday, and appears to lead directly into the movie.
Rumors are that a full trailer for the movie is imminent any day now. Any day… now.
You can say what you like about Marvel, and cape-shit in general (we frequently do!), but you can’t deny that Marvel have got their multi-layer saturation marketing game on point to build for this movie. Have there been any big changes in the marketing department over there in the last couple of years, because they seem to have their groove back?
Avengers: Doomsday opens in cinemas on December 18th and you know you’ll be seeing it, even if you don’t tell anyone you went.
