The first contender, of course, is Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s team, better known as the New Avengers. They saved New York City from the Void’s wrath, but that wasn’t enough to convince Sam Wilson that the torch is theirs. No, he’s building his own group, with Joaquin Torres, aka Falcon, being his first recruit. While the other members are a mystery at this point, I think Marvel Studios just dropped a major hint that teases who will be joining Team Cap in Doomsday.
Marvel Studios’ D23 Panel May Have Revealed Plenty About Avengers: Doomsday
Kevin Feige loves to put on a show, so Marvel Studios attends every major event it can to promote its projects. However, this year, the powers that be decided to skip San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H, opting to leave behind a spot where it dropped some major bombshells in the past. Instead, the MCU took its talents to D23 in Burbank, CA, with the Russo brothers providing an update about the status of Doomsday, which they’re calling “The biggest movie they’ve ever done.” The filmmakers didn’t want to leave the attendees with just a few weirds, though, so they also came with a sizzle reel of sorts that highlighted major moments from past Marvel movies.
All the talk coming out of the event has focused on the inclusion of quotes from Fox’s X-Men movies in the teaser. Of course, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, and more will be reprising their roles in Doomsday. The only issue with them hogging the spotlight is that they probably won’t be around for long. Doomsday‘s real mission will be to get the two new Avengers teams on their feet. Thunderbolts* did a lot of the work for the New Avengers, which means Sam’s team is playing catch-up. Fortunately, the D23 teaser also features a couple of heroes who don’t have a team to call their own right now: Thor, Black Panther, and Ant-Man. All three of those names have major connections to the current Captain America, making them seem like natural fits on his squad.
