If you want to get technical, then "Avengers: Doomsday" is officially part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which, along with fellow superhero flicks like last year’s “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” and this summer’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” is set to serve as the climactic conclusion to the franchise’s The Multiverse Saga.
However, before you start getting worried that you’ll need to catch up on (checks notes) a whopping 37 films to understand what the heck is going on in the upcoming blockbuster, directors Joe and Anthony Russo have assured both Marvel maniacs and fairweather fans that the latest MCU movie will take things back to “Phase Zero.”
