The world needs the Avengers now more than ever. Marvel hit an arguable peak with Avengers: Endgame, which broke box office records and thrilled fans the world over. But it also splintered the superhero team in its pursuit of greatness, and the crisis-riddled Phases that followed have had a hard time picking up the pieces. The Multiverse Saga has introduced a litany of new heroes to join the Avengers that remain, but without a common enemy to rally against, the MCU feels messier than ever before.
That’s finally set to change with Avengers: Doomsday, the first Avengers film in over five years. Heroes new and old will team up against a force that threatens the entire multiverse — but who, exactly, will be facing off against Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom? Fans have long speculated about the new Avengers line-up, especially with so many characters to choose from. But today, Marvel finally put an end to all the guesswork, crystallizing a new era for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
