Why You Should Be Worried About ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars have a ton of promising elements. They’ve got some great Marvel heroes ready to reform the Avengers. They get to pay off the Multiverse Saga in a huge way — possibly by temporarily destroying or radically changing the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or by featuring the returns of MIA Marvel stars like Chris Evans or Scarlett Johansson, both of whom have been rumored to be making cameos in these films. They will definitely feature the return of Robert Downey Jr to Marvel, now as the MCU’s Doctor Doom. They also have the returns of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo, who are helming both of these new Avengers sequels.
