Chris Evans on the red carpet for 'Red One'
It is now just nine months until Avengers: Doomsday, and the anticipation continues to build. From Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, and Tom Hiddleston to Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, and Pedro Pascal, the cast of the upcoming movie is frankly eye-watering.
Robert Downey Jr. is most notably returning to the MCU in a completely different form, taking on the role of Doctor Doom, and faces we thought we'd never see reprise their Marvel roles have been lured back, such as Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto and Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. Ahead of Evans' surprise return, one of his best movies is proving popular on U.S. streaming. Often likened to Fallout, Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer is a dystopian sci-fi thriller based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige. Released in 2014, the movie just about capitalized on an instant positive response by earning $89 million at the global box office against a reported $39 million production budget. In the movie, Evans plays Curtis, the leader of a revolution to try to regain control of the future of the world. He’s joined by an eye-catching ensemble including Tilda Swinton as Minister Mason, Ed Harris as Wilford, and supporting performances from Song Kang-ho, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell, and John Hurt in one of the final roles. At the time of writing, Snowpiercer is officially the most-streamed movie on Pluto TV in the U.S., outperforming the likes of stop-motion favorite Coraline, the zombie hit World War Z, and four movies from the Scream franchise.

Posts By Macklen Makhloghi 'Snowpiercer' Was a Hit With Critics Boasting a near-perfect 94% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, it's safe to say that Snowpiercer was a hit with critics. The consensus on the site reads,"Snowpiercer offers an audaciously ambitious action spectacular for filmgoers numb to effects-driven blockbusters." In Matt Goldberg's review at the time for Collider, he wrote: "Snowpiercer is a challenge in a movie landscape where sci-fi action rarely challenges us. As we've seen in films such as Prometheus and Transcendence, sci-fi in modern films usually amounts to Icarus stories. Bong Joon Ho forces us to look deeper and does so with a film that can be harsh, but never hateful. It's a cold, grim world, and yet the fire and fury of his characters and their story keep this unique vision burning bright."
