00:01let's go doom will tear this world apart a hammer leaps across a battlefield and slaps
00:10into a man's open palm thor who knows better than anyone alive what that means can only say
00:17one thing it's not possible that was marvel's first full avengers doomsday trailer now a new
00:25extended tv spot gives us the follow-up that same man and thor side by side about to vanish in
00:32a
00:32beam of light nobody has said where they're going but the answer could either prove the internet's
00:38biggest steve rogers theory right or kill it on the spot to understand why thor reacts the way he does
00:45rewind to how steve rogers left the mjolnir at the end of avengers endgame steve travels back through
00:52time to return the infinity stones to their original moments then he does something nobody
00:57saw coming he stays in the past builds a life with peggy carter and eventually returns as an old man
01:04to hand his shield to sam wilson for seven years that was the end of his story then last month
01:12endgame encore rewrote it steve and peggy are dancing when someone knocks peggy answers the
01:19door while steve ducks out of sight the visitor is loki dressed in his tva uniform and he says he
01:25can
01:25help them both co-director anthony russo says that one extra beat is where doomsday is born marvel hasn't
01:32explained why loki is there but the re-release's other new scene shows the stakes inside the tva the
01:39agency that polices the multiverse a staffer declares that the multiverse is collapsing setting
01:45up a final incursion between three worlds earth 616 earth 1005 and earth 828 the home of the fantastic
01:56four and victor von doom think about what that means steve's happy ending may have come at a price
02:02now back to the trailer when steve steps in he looks different long ragged hair a beard an outfit whose
02:11colors echo loki's a faint smile in almost every shot and thor looks like he's seen a ghost within
02:19hours fans landed on one explanation that isn't steve that's loki and honestly the theory isn't random
02:28in thor the dark world loki briefly shape-shifted into captain america just to needle his brother about how
02:35righteous he is one small correction to what some theory videos claim though endgame didn't repeat
02:41that gag it went the other way when steve came face to face with another version of himself he assumed
02:48it was loki but there's a catch mjolnir only answers to the worthy and loki even as the god of
02:55stories
02:55has never been shown lifting it so other theories sidestep the problem one points to mystique who is
03:02officially returning in doomsday with rebecca romaine another points to captain hydra a comics
03:08version of steve whose history was rewritten by a sentient cosmic cube named kobik turning him into
03:14a hydra sleeper agent in the comics that steve lifted mjolnir too only for it to be revealed he was
03:21never truly worthy a convincing lift in other words can be a trick and let's be clear every one of
03:29these
03:29ideas is fan theory marvel has confirmed none of them and plenty of writers argue the simplest
03:35answer is the likeliest it's just steve changed by a long life which brings us to the new spot thor
03:43summons a bifrost beam through stormbreaker and he and steve are swept away together where they land
03:49hasn't been shown but one popular reading says they're headed to the tva to find loki if that's
03:56right it matters because it means steve is probably not loki in disguise it would also fit a rumor that
04:03loki pulled steve and peggy out of a timeline destined to be erased and relocated them possibly
04:09to earth 828 that relocation is unconfirmed so treat it as a leak but picture the urgency
04:16the multiverse is collapsing an old friend is back from the dead end of his own story
04:21and thor's brother works for the agency that might know why there's a twist though one version of the
04:28theory says that if steve is loki he could be steering thor to the tva to reveal the truth about
04:34doom the problem is placement the scene seems to come right after thor warns everyone how dangerous doom
04:42is which makes that version awkward quick pause if you're enjoying how deep we're going on a 30 second
04:49spot tap that like button it helps these breakdowns reach more mcu fans now the spot adds more than a
04:57bifrost it also gives us a new voiceover from thor warning that doom will roll over the world unless
05:03everyone stands together and referring to enemies he once feared less in effect thor is stepping into
05:10the role captain america used to hold the one who rallies the team then comes the joke ant-man tries
05:18to
05:18work out which cap to address steve or sam and the room piles on that they've worn the title too
05:25some fans pushed back arguing it undercut sam others noticed something else it's one of the
05:32only light moments we've seen in the marketing that matters because of a rumor one report claimed disney
05:39executives who saw early cuts feared the film felt bleak with too much death and too little comic relief
05:46here's the catch i couldn't verify that report incredible coverage what i did find is variety
05:52reporting that executives are pleased with what they've seen plus scooper accounts of positive test
05:58screenings early reactions are slippery and biased in both directions endgame managed jokes while the
06:05stakes were at their highest so there's room for both here's another reason to treat every frame
06:11carefully remember the earlier trailer shot of ant-man sam and thor with the fantastic four and the new
06:17avengers steve isn't in that room neither is a second falcon or shang chi the leading theory is that they
06:25were digitally removed or simply not composited yet and that would fit marvel's history an infinity war
06:32trailer showed hulk charging into a battle that never happens in the film and endgame footage
06:37was altered to show cap's shield unbroken when a studio edits its trailers that aggressively reading
06:43any single shot as proof is risky if that changed how you look at the trailer hit like it tells
06:50me you
06:50want more of this one last theory and it's the wildest in endgame old steve hands the shield to sam
06:57and sam asks whether steve will tell him about her steve says no one theory argues that moment could be
07:04a
07:05time loop that the old man was acting on knowledge of what was coming and that the shield he hands
07:10over
07:10which some fans believe looks different from the original might even have been recovered from a sam
07:16who doesn't survive there's no reporting behind it but it does explain why steve says so little
07:21so here's the question and be honest when thor says it's not possible who do you think is standing
07:28in front of him the real steve loki in disguise captain hydra mystique or something nobody has
07:34guessed yet say it in the comments i read them here's what we know for sure doomsday opens december 18th
07:42about seven weeks from now loki knocked on steve's door the multiverse is collapsing and steve rogers is
07:49walking back into a fight that by every sign he was never supposed to see whoever is behind that smile
