After leaking online earlier this week, the fourth Avengers: Doomsday teaser trailer is now playing in theaters. Set in a mysterious location, it features snapshots of Namor, Shuri, and M'Baku before the latter two encounter a familiar face: The Thing.
With that, Ben Grimm is introduced to Wakanda's King, and the teaser ends with the MCU's Black Panther performing the classic "Wakanda Forever" pose before boarding a ship.
Honestly, it doesn't reveal much about Avengers: Doomsday, and Shuri's narration also gives very little away. "I've lost everyone that matters to me," she says. "A King has his duties to prepare our people for the afterlife. I have mine."
Starting today, you'll be able to see this sneak peek on the big screen with Avatar: Fire and Ash. It will then be officially released on Tuesday, and is likely the last of these teasers until a full trailer debuts during next month's Super Bowl.
There have been rumblings for a while that Avengers: Doomsday will introduce the MCU's new T'Challa. We still don't know whether he'll be a Multiversal Variant, an adult Toussaint/T'Challa II, or something else entirely, but The Geeky Cast has shared a very interesting rumour today.
They claim that F1 The Movie star (don't forget to check out our new F1 website, FullThrottleHQ.com here), Damson Idris, "is going to be spending a lot of time at Pinewood Studios this year...shooting multiple movies as The Black Panther."
Last year, Idris reignited speculation by appearing alongside Angela Bassett (Queen Ramonda) and Danai Gurira (Okoye) when they suited up for a catwalk appearance at Vogue World: Hollywood.
Asked about the persistent Black Panther rumours at the TIME100 Next Gala, Idris grinned and replied, "No, no. I don't know anything about it [Laughs]."
