Following Empire's Avengers: Doomsday coverage, the expectation is that we'll get a new trailer for the movie next week. That's typically been the case in the past, and a possible description for the movie's final sneak peek is now doing the rounds online.
While we'd suggest taking this with a pinch of salt, it sounds like a suitably epic preview that would push excitement levels through the roof.
The trailer reportedly opens with our first look at Latveria, specifically Doomstadt. The sky is pitch black, with green mist swirling around the castle, before the footage transitions into the Marvel Studios intro, which has been given a suitably sinister green makeover.
From there, we return to Earth-616 heroes, with an extended version of the scene in which Steve Rogers meets Thor. The collision of two worlds is shown as the trailer launches into a series of intense battle sequences, narrated by Steve. We see him, Thor, and Reed Richards facing off against Doom, while Nightcrawler and Beast also make appearances before his voiceover comes to an end.
The action then shifts to Cyclops, who unleashes an optic blast directly at Doom. The villain responds with a massive blast of his own, one powerful enough to nearly kill the X-Men leader.
Florence Pugh's voice then takes over, delivering an unknown line before we cut to God Loki sitting on his throne. He's staring at something off-screen and looks terrified. A battle sequence involving Magneto follows.
Next, Wolverine and Deadpool make their presence felt, with webs visible in the background. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are 99.9% confirmed to appear in the movie, so showing them in action makes sense. The web tease, meanwhile, will blow up the internet. The footage then takes a devastating turn as we see Earth-10005 destroyed.
Avengers Tower is the next casualty, suffering destruction once again before the Baxter Building meets the same fate. Things then escalate considerably as the trailer reveals millions of Doombots rushing towards all the Avengers.
Following the title card and countdown, we reportedly hear Doom's voice say, "One day, you will forgive me..."
Only time will tell whether this is the real deal, but Marvel Studios is clearly pulling out all the stops to build excitement for Avengers: Doomsday. For now, we'll just have to keep checking on the movie's countdown clock...
