AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Trailer Description Reveals a Dark, Tragic Take on Doctor Doom
Marvel fans may soon catch their first look at Avengers: Doomsday. A new report suggests that the trailer could arrive before the end of the year, potentially debuting ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. The team at Film Threat shared what appears to be a description of the trailer, and if their insider’s account is true, the footage promises something intense.
“The person who saw it said, ‘It’s not finished,’ but was surprised by the amount of footage they showed of Doom in action... this is not a teaser trailer,” said Chris Gore. “You’re gonna get, not just a glimpse of Doom, you’re gonna see Doom.”
The report also offers insight into how Robert Downey Jr.’s version of Doctor Doom is portrayed, giving the character a gothic and tragic twist.
“The way the character was described, in terms of Downey's interpretation, is a classic Universal Monster, like The Phantom of the Opera. It's a tragic figure and a broken figure, and part of it is his armour... Doom must have the armour because he has a broken body,” Gore continued. “He went full Universal Monster with the interpretation. He needs the suit to actually function.”
Summary
Early descriptions of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer suggest a visually dark story centered on Robert Downey Jr.’s deeply human and monstrous take on Doctor Doom.
