We're sure a lot of you have already seen the leaked version (a pretty decent quality bootleg did the rounds online), but if you want to catch the third teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday on the big screen, now is the time to head to your local theater.
After debuting in parts of Europe earlier in the week, the X-Men-centric Doomsday teaser is now officially playing ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash in North America.
The vignette begins with a voiceover from Sir Ian McKellen's Magneto: "Death comes for us all, that's all I know for sure. The question isn't are you prepared to die, the question is, who would you be when you close your eyes?" We then see Professor X (Sir Patrick Stewart) share an embrace with his old frenemy, and the teaser ends with Cyclops (James Marsden) unleashing a powerful optic blast into the sky.
It's pretty damn epic... but can it be topped by the fourth teaser?
Though not confirmed, the next Doomsday trailer is believed to focus on The Fantastic Four and the Wakandans, and some dialogue has supposedly "leaked."
We wouldn't put too much stock in this as it seems a little early for this kind of info to find its way online, but the scene is said to feature Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) asking Shuri (Letitia Wright) for help in locating his son, Franklin, who was seemingly taken by Doctor Doom at the end of First Steps.
“They say no problem on this Earth is beyond your mind. On my world, that burden was mine to bear. But I have exhausted every solution, and my child is still gone. We need your help.”
