D23 delivered some HUGE announcements for Marvel fans, and we're breaking down the biggest news, trailers, casting reveals, and theories coming out of the event!
In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we dive into the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer, the latest MCU X-Men casting announcements, Doctor Doom, Incursions, Mr. Sinister, Jean Grey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Kingdom Hearts, and the premiere of DC's Lanterns!
AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY TRAILER BREAKDOWN
We start with the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer and everything it potentially reveals about Marvel's next massive crossover event.
We discuss:
• Doctor Doom's role in Avengers: Doomsday
• Could Doom experience a heel turn during the movie?
• Doctor Doom's potential motivations and master plan
• Why Incursions may be the REAL threat
• How Incursions work in Marvel Comics
• Which Avengers could die in Doomsday
• The movie's biggest trailer reveals
• How Doomsday could set up Avengers: Secret Wars
• Our theories for the future of the MCU
Doctor Doom may be positioned as the movie's major antagonist, but we're theorizing that the true threat could be much bigger than any individual villain.
With the Multiverse collapsing and Incursions threatening entire realities, could Doom actually become necessary to saving the MCU?
And with the stakes this high, we're asking the painful question: Which Avengers aren't making it out alive?
MCU X-MEN CASTING & THEORIES
Next, we dive into the new X-Men casting announcements and theorize about Marvel Studios' upcoming 2028 X-Men movie.
We discuss:
• The new MCU X-Men cast
• Which mutants could join the team
• What Marvel's version of the X-Men could look like
• Mr. Sinister's potential role
• Could Mr. Sinister be the main villain?
• Jean Grey's future in the MCU
• Mutants finally becoming a major part of Marvel Studios
• How the X-Men could connect to the post-Secret Wars MCU
We also discuss Jean Grey's role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and how her story could directly influence the upcoming X-Men movie.
Could Spider-Man actually help lay the groundwork for Marvel's mutant era?
MR. SINISTER
We get particularly nerdy discussing Mr. Sinister, his comic book history, obsession with mutant genetics, and why he could be an excellent villain for the MCU's first major X-Men story.
After years of Magneto dominating X-Men adaptations, is it finally time for another classic mutant villain to take center stage?
KINGDOM HEARTS RETURNS!
We also briefly discuss the surprising announcement of a new Kingdom Hearts TV series and a new Kingdom Hearts game.
What could a Kingdom Hearts television adaptation even look like? How heavily will Disney characters be involved? And are we prepared to once again pretend we understand the Kingdom Hearts timeline?
LANTERNS EPISODE 1
Finally, we jump over to DC Studios for our thoughts on the first episode of Lanterns.
And so far...
We really like it!
We discuss our first impressions, the show's characters, mystery, tone, and why we're excited to see where the series takes Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and the Green Lantern mythology.
