Disney kicked off D23 last night and announced a bunch of upcoming projects, showed more of other things in the works, and so forth. As Marvel is a big part of Disney, that had some topics of discussion, including an official reveal (finally) of an X-Men movie coming in 2028 and the public release of a big, "Avengers: Doomsday," trailer that was previously only seen by attendees of CCI//SDCC. I am intrigued by what I've seen. Give it a look:
The part where Reed Richards asks Doom what he's done gives me vibes of when Johnathan Hickman's run on the, "Avengers," and, "New Avengers," comics was leading toward, "Secret Wars," and the Earths in different Universes were being destroyed by heroes as well as villains to try and save other realities. The flicks have hinted at these, "Incursions," being an issue before, so imagine with those X-Men around too, we'll be watching folks from different spots in the Multiverse trying to save their own homes as this all leads into the, "Avengers: Secret Wars," movie a bit after this one (just like the comic event/events)! Robert Downey Junior's take on Doctor Doom seems solid, although I am still unsure why they got the former Iron Man to play this role but imagine, "Avengers: Doomsday," will address this in some fashion. The release date of December 18th will bring many answers and probably raise even more questions!
Oh, plus we've got a trailer for, "Visionquest," which looks to be an absolutely absurd treat. Paul Bettany and James Spader's Ultron (now sporting more of a human-styled form) in a weird virtual World, arguing about concepts of humanity and morality whilst getting into various hijinks? I'm down for it and will check it out this October on Disney+. View that trailer here:
I've been iffy on what Marvel's got going on with their comics and have felt unsure about their movie/television productions, but it at least looks like this Fall and Winter will have some fun stuff. I'm hopeful, "Avengers: Doomsday," is great and its follow-up, "Avengers: Secret Wars," then sticks the landing.
