149 - The MCU's Bold New Era Begins With Avengers Doomsday
Episode 149
Thursday, 10 April, 2025
Send us a message that we can respond to at the end of every episode!This week, we dive deep into Marvel Studios' dramatic Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal that sent shockwaves through the fandom. The star-studded announcement confirms Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom – alongside familiar faces like Chris Hemsworth's Thor and surprising additions including the original X-Men cast members.We dissect who made the cut and, perhaps more tellingly, who didn't. The absence of key players like Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Captain Marvel raises fascinating questions about Marvel's strategic narrative plans spanning both Doomsday and Secret Wars. Are these omissions deliberate misdirection, or are some heroes being saved for an even bigger multiverse spectacle?The revelation that Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and other original X-Men actors are joining prompts our bold theory: these characters may represent the animated X-Men '97 versions in live-action form, offering fans the definitive versions of these beloved heroes they've always wanted to see. We explore how the Russo brothers might handle this massive ensemble while balancing multiple superhero teams including the Avengers, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and X-Men.Before our Avengers deep-dive, we honor the legacy of Val Kilmer following his passing at 65, celebrating his iconic performances in Heat, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. We also cover exciting updates from CinemaCon, including Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, Tron: Ares, Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling, and The Karate Kid's promising rebirth. Plus, we analyze the Superman legacy trailer, dive into Spider-Man: Brand New Day casting news, and share our predictions for how these various storylines might converge in Marvel's ambitious multiverse saga.Thank you to everyone who continues to support and don’t forget to subscribe to download new episodes as they become available and don’t be afraid to share a rating!0:00 Intro 01:52 Val Kilmer Passes Away at 65 06:37 Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning Trailer 12:15 Michael Sarnoski to Direct Death Stranding Film 15:41 Cinemacon: Tron Ares, Project Hail Mary, John Wick and So Much More 34:42 The Beatles Cinematic Universe is Upon Us 40:16 More Cinemacon!
