00:00Okay, buckle up because this is huge.
00:01For what feels like forever.
00:02We've been waiting for what's next in the big Marvel saga, right?
00:04Well-
00:05Well, the wait is over.
00:06The first official details have just dropped and Marvel Studios has finally pulled back
00:08the curtain on the future of the-
00:10And let me tell you, it is shaping up to be something absolutely massive.
00:13Yep, you heard that right.
00:14This is not-
00:15It's not a rumor, it's not speculation anymore, it's official.
00:17We've got a title, we've got a release date, and honestly, some pretty wild clues about
00:19where the whole-
00:20So that's what we're gonna do today.
00:21Let's sift through everything that's been announced and try to build the clearest picture we can
00:24of this next epic Avengers movie.
00:25And the title they've given us?
00:26Avengers Doomsday.
00:28Wow, just let that sink in.
00:29If you know the comics-
00:30You know that name carries some serious weight.
00:31So in this explainer, we're going to pull together every single confirmed detail,
00:34every little breadcr-
00:35To give you the most complete briefing we can.
00:36We're sticking to the facts, but you know we're also going to talk about what it all might mean.
00:39Alright, so what-
00:40Let's kick things off with the hard facts, the stuff that came straight from Marvel Studios themselves.
00:42This is the foundation, the stuff you absolutely need to know.
00:45First things first, the date.
00:46Get your calendars out because you're going to want to circle this one.
00:48December 18th, 2026.
00:50That is the day Avengers Doomsday hits theaters.
00:52And from the sounds of it, that's a day that's going to change, well, everything.
00:55Okay, now for the names.
00:55Who's making this thing?
00:56Well, get this.
00:56The Russo brothers are back.
00:57The guys who gave us Infinity War and Endgame are back in the director's chair.
01:00But, but, the biggest bombshell, the one nobody saw coming, the confirmed return of Robert Downey Jr.
01:04I know.
01:05We have no idea how.
01:06Is it a variant?
01:06A flashback?
01:07AI?
01:07Who knows?
01:08But what we do know is that Tony Stark is officially in this.
01:10And it's not just about the legends coming back.
01:12We've got some major new players hitting the board.
01:13Kevin Feige himself confirmed.
01:15That the Fantastic Four, yes, the Fantastic Four, will finally make their grand entrance into the MCU in this movie.
01:19He called it a.
01:20And honestly, that's an understatement.
01:21This is something we've been waiting for since, what, 2008?
01:23And it's happening right here in an Avengers film.
01:25Just incredible.
01:26Okay, so we've got the who, the what, and the when.
01:28That's the framework.
01:28But what is this movie actually going to.
01:30You know, what's the tone?
01:31For that, we have to look at the very first teaser they released.
01:33It didn't show much, but man, was it heavy on dialogue.
01:35And that dialogue gives us our first real taste.
01:37So let's put on our detective hats for a minute and break these lines down.
01:39What's the.
01:40What are the secrets are they hiding?
01:40What are they telling us about the story, the characters, and just the state of the world when this thing kicks off?
01:44The very first thing we hear in the.
01:45Teaser is this line.
01:45I've lost everyone that matters to me.
01:47Oof.
01:47That just hits you, doesn't it?
01:48It's completely soaked in sadness and defeat.
01:50It tells us right away that this story isn't starting with some triumphant moment.
01:52It's starting from a place of deep personal tragedy for at least one of our.
01:55Okay, but this next line, this is where the sheer scale of the threat really snaps into focus.
01:59Listen to this.
02:00The king has his duties to prepare our people for the afterlife.
02:02I have mine.
02:03Think about that.
02:04The speaker isn't talking about.
02:05They're talking about preparing people for the afterlife.
02:07That means they think the end is so certain, so unstoppable.
02:10That the only thing left to do is manage the apocalypse.
02:12I mean, what a grim, powerful way to set the stakes, right?
02:14And who.
02:15Who's saying this?
02:15It's just as important.
02:17It's King M'Baku of Wakanda.
02:18Let that sink in for a second.
02:19What?
02:20Wakanda, the most advanced, most heavily defended nation on the entire planet,
02:23is facing a threat they don't think they can beat.
02:24Wakanda.
02:25Wakanda is preparing for the end.
02:26If they're scared, what hope does anyone else have?
02:28But hey, it's not all doom and gloom.
02:30There was another little clue tucked in there.
02:31It's a line that might sound totally random to most people,
02:33just a New York City address,
02:34but if you're a comic fan, you're-
02:35Your ears probably parked right up.
02:36The line is,
02:36Ben, uh, Yancey Street, between Broom and Grant.
02:38That's not just any address.
02:39That is-
02:40The famous, iconic home of Ben Grimm, The Thing.
02:42This is our direct, in-teaser confirmation of the Fantastic Four.
02:45So, okay, the Fantastic Four are in.
02:46That's huge.
02:47Which, of course, leads to the next big question on everyone's mind.
02:50Who else is showing up?
02:51I mean, an Avengers movie is all about the team-up, right?
02:53And this roster?
02:53Well, it's looking like it might just be-
02:55The biggest one yet.
02:56And the list of confirmed heroes coming back is-
02:58Honestly, it's staggering.
02:59Of course, we've got Thor.
02:59You can't do this.
03:00Without him, we have the X-Men.
03:01The actual X-Men fully integrated into an Avengers event for the first time ever.
03:04And then, and this is the-
03:05One that might even rival RDJ's return.
03:06Steve Rogers is confirmed to be back.
03:08I'll say it again.
03:08Steve Rogers.
03:09The two pillars-
03:10The heart and soul of the original Avengers, Tony and Steve, are back for Doomsday.
03:13So, we have all these incredible pieces on-
03:15But where does this movie actually fit into the grand scheme of things?
03:17It's so important to remember that these Avengers movies, they aren't-
03:20They aren't just another sequel.
03:21They are the massive, universe-shaking turning points for the entire MCU.
03:24Let's just look at the timeline for a sec-
03:25You can see how this whole saga is playing out.
03:26We have that huge gap after Endgame, right?
03:28Then, bam, 2026, we get Doomsday.
03:30But here's the really crucial part.
03:31Look what happens just one year later.
03:32Avengers Secret Wars.
03:33That tells you everything you need to know.
03:34Doomsday-
03:35Avengers Secret Wars is not a one-and-done story.
03:36It's the Infinity War to Secret Wars' Endgame.
03:37It's part one of a massive two-part finale.
03:39So, let's-
03:40Just wrap this all up, what do we have?
03:41A super dark, apocalyptic tone.
03:42We have heroes we thought were gone for good, making a shocking return.
03:45We have the long, long, long-awaited arrival of the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.
03:48And this is all happening in just part one of a two-part finale.
03:50finale for the entire saga.
03:51So, the real question isn't just, you know, who's going to be in the movie.
03:53The real question is, what's going to be-
03:55left of them and the universe itself when the dust finally settled?
