The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie has released a new trailer featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, a return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel’s cinematic universe has been somewhat of a mixed bag recently – not you, Spider-Man – but the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday may prove to be a return to form.
The post-Endgame extended universe has had some growing pains and a decided lack of enthusiasm. After plans for Kang were reduced to dust, the imminent Avengers movie offered a solution.
Featured in the new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom has returned as the Big Bad, now played – at least for now – by Robert Downey Jr. This was a decision that was met with some initial hesitation, but the new footage shows that this may be just the movie to turn the tide. Ensemble teams such as the X-Men, The Fantastic Four, and the New Avengers unite under Thor to beat back this new foe.
These new factions have been introduced in feature films, but there is one integral element included that fans would have only seen on the MCU television side of the spectrum.
‘Loki’ Is Required Viewing Ahead of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Last time MCU fans saw the God of Mischief, he had died heroically attempting to stop Thanos in Infinity War. Loki's travels with Thor in Ragnarök had smoothed his sharp edges, and he valiantly tried to pull off one final trick to beat the Mad Titan. Unlike every time he had appeared to have died before, this one seemed to have stuck.
Loki’s death is tragic, but Endgame ensured that the Asgardian had a future. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Marvel Personality Quiz Which MCU Hero Are You? Spider-Man · Daredevil · Iron Man · Punisher · Thor · Cap Six heroes. One destiny.

Choose the answer that feels most like you.
AWith great power comes great responsibility — I protect those who can't protect themselves. BMy faith and my conscience — I believe justice must be served, even in the dark. CLegacy and ego, honestly — but I've learned that others depend on me now. DThe system failed.
Someone has to make sure the guilty actually pay. EDuty to the innocent and honour to my name — I was born to protect realms. FThe values I was raised with — freedom, decency, and never backing down from a bully.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10YOUR CITY 02 It's 2 AM. Where are you? Your answer says more about you than you'd think. ASwinging between skyscrapers, keeping an eye on the neighbourhood.
BRunning rooftops in Hell's Kitchen, listening for trouble. CIn my lab, upgrading my suit with a cold cup of coffee nearby. DStaking out a target I've been tracking for three weeks. ESomewhere between the stars, or at a feast that got out of hand.

BBuild an airtight case and dismantle their entire operation from the inside. CDeploy a containment system I designed specifically for them. Tech wins. DMake sure they don't escape a third time.
Permanently. EChallenge them to single combat. Honour demands a decisive end. FRally allies, adapt the plan, and bring them in — by the book, even if it's hard.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face.

There's no hiding it. FI don't hide — but I understand why some need to. Transparency builds trust.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS & GRIEF 05 You've lost someone important because of your heroism. How do you carry that? Every hero pays a price. The question is how they pay it.
AWith guilt that never fully goes away — it pushes me to do better, every single day. BI channel it into purpose — their memory is the reason I keep fighting. CI buried myself in work for years. I'm only recently learning to face it.

Stopping means letting the loss win. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10TEAM DYNAMICS 06 What's your role when working with a team? Who you are under pressure is who you actually are. AThe enthusiastic wildcard who somehow makes it work — and keeps the mood up.
BThe strategist who works best alone but shows up when it matters most. CThe one who funds it, equips it, and occasionally takes over the whole operation. DI don't do teams. I'm more effective operating solo, on my terms.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10MORAL CODE 07 Where do you draw the line between justice and revenge? The answer defines what kind of hero you really are. AClearly — I don't kill, and I wrestle with that line constantly. BI try to hold the line, but I've come terrifyingly close to crossing it.
CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice.
Mercy is earned — not automatic. FFirmly. The moment we abandon our principles, we become what we fight against.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10EVERYDAY LIFE 08 When you're not saving the world, what does life look like? The person behind the mask is always the more interesting story. ATrying to juggle school, a part-time job, and not failing my friends. BWorking as a lawyer by day, fighting for justice in court and on the streets.

ENavigating a bizarre and fascinating mortal world — coffee is extraordinary. FAdapting to a world decades ahead of everything I knew. Quietly, stubbornly.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10FEAR 09 What keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of. AThe people I couldn't save — and the ones I might not reach in time tomorrow. BWhether the monster I fight every night is starting to live inside me too.
CThe threats I can see coming and whether my tech is actually good enough. DNothing. Silence is the only peace I get. I've made my choices.
EWhether I'm truly worthy — of the hammer, of the throne, of the people I protect. FA world where no one stands up anymore. Where good people do nothing.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10FINAL STAND 10 The battle is lost. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted. What do you do? This is your tiebreaker — choose carefully.
ACrack a joke to buy a second, then find the one web shot that changes everything. BBlock out everything except the sound of the next threat — and keep going. CActivate the emergency protocol I built for exactly this scenario. Always have a plan.

↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ This is all depicted in his self-titled Disney+ series, Loki. One of the early additions to the MCU’s television world, this show may have passed some by. Even though Loki is unequivocally one of the best characters in the Marvel Universe, the television shows weren’t always considered mandatory viewing. For those who haven’t seen it, that is a tragic mistake.
Loki wasn’t just an excuse to get Tom Hiddleston to remind viewers of his nuanced portrayal – though he does that flawlessly. The Disney+ series charts Loki’s glorious purpose, but this time it’s real. Following the events of Endgame, the 2012 version of Loki finds the Tesseract during the Battle of New York and escapes captivity, if only for a few seconds. He is then found by the Time Variance Authority and arrested for his crimes against the Sacred Timeline.
Throughout the show, Loki is forced to relive his worst moments, and this ultimately leads him to be the best version of himself. He forms real connections with TVA workers like Mobius and confronts his true destiny. At the end of the series, he fully realizes his role is not just a god but an overseer of all time.
This separates him from all the people that he loved, but he finds his true purpose, and it is glorious. Loki has become selfless at the end of Season 2. The worst part is that Thor never knows the sacrifices he made to become god of time.
Hiddleston is officially reprising his role as Loki for the first time since the conclusion of the show in Avengers: Doomsday, but those who missed out on the show may be out of the time loop. Not only that, they miss out on one of the most highly anticipated reunions in the MCU.
‘Loki’ Will Make Thor and Loki’s Reunion Even Better Close Those who never watched Loki may have the same experience that Thor will in Avengers: Doomsday. Thor still believes his brother to be dead and will be astounded by what he has gone through. This reunion will be gratifying, but will be even more emotional after viewing the television series that follows Loki’s experiences. Before his impressive character arc, Loki only really cared about Thor.
He carries this through his experiences in the television series, which is made even more cruel considering he can never see his brother again. Loki, of course, keeps this beneath the surface as he traverses the Sacred Timeline and undergoes the best character development in the MCU. Loki has to accept that he can never return to his timeline and does what he can to preserve life as it should be.
His sacrifice to become the god of time is that much more painful, knowing that he did this to protect everyone he cares about, though he can never see them again. If Thor and Loki see each other again, it will be tantamount to the time god coming back to life right in front of his brother’s eyes. Without viewing this show, this coming together may be at best confusing and at worst seem out of nowhere.
Only fans of the Disney+ show will understand how earned Loki’s character arc is and be fully immersed in the connection between two brothers that has been a long time coming.
