Doomsday, VisionQuest & The MCU’s X-Men Future

August 19, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

Marvel brought the goods to D23.

Eric breaks down the newest Avengers: Doomsday trailer moment by moment, from Doctor Doom’s terrifying power and mysterious past to the heroes who may be standing against him. Then, we enter the mind of Vision for the emotional and deeply strange new VisionQuest trailer—including the return of Ultron.

Finally, we look beyond Secret Wars toward the MCU’s newly revealed X-Men, the young cast preparing to lead Marvel’s next era, and the endless theories waiting between now and their arrival.

The road to Doomsday is officially paved.
