We’re getting a new Avengers movie soon. And though the anticipation isn’t anywhere near what the first or even the third Avengers movie was, it’s still kinda fun to see all these characters coming together. Particularly considering this will be the Fantastic Four‘s first time in an Avengers movie, and that the X-Men are now coming. And we know some of their faces!
Plus, Robert Downey Jr. is back, and this time he’s not playing Tony Stark. But is Doom the villain of this tale? Is there only one Doom? And if he is, what are his motivations? Plus, how does Spider-Man: Brand New Day play set up this movie? Or will we have to wait until Secret Wars to see Peter again?
There’s still some time to go, and we don’t have all the answers, but here’s all we know:
