A newly shared synopsis for *Avengers: Doomsday* says teams from three universes must unite against an existential threat. It raises the stakes for the Marvel film and points to cooperation across groups that have reason to distrust one another.
The synopsis names the Avengers, New Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four and X-Men, who must set aside their suspicions to face a powerful enemy. The article identifies Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom as the threat and suggests the Multiverse’s future, including possible incursions, is at stake. The film is due to arrive on 18 December.
In short
- Teams from three universes face an existential threat.
- The Avengers, X-Men and others must work together.
- Doctor Doom may threaten the Multiverse’s future.
Explained simply
The Avengers are a group of superheroes who have worked together in earlier Marvel films. Wakanda is a fictional African nation, while the Fantastic Four and X-Men are other superhero teams; the New Avengers are a newer group within the franchise. These characters come from different corners of Marvel’s story world and may not trust one another.
The Multiverse is the idea that many separate universes exist, each with its own versions of people and events. An incursion is a collision between universes that can threaten one or both of them. Doctor Doom, a powerful Marvel character, is portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the film.
