The “Doomsday” clock is ticking. We are two months away from the long-awaited movie event of the year, with Marvel’s “Avengers: Doomsday” due in theaters on Dec. 18, and the “Endgame” sequel will bring together not just the titular superhero team but also the Wakandans, New Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men as they converge to face Doom. If you haven’t yet checked out the trailer, you can expect an all-star, superpowered cast that includes Robert Downey Jr. (this time as Doctor Doom, not Tony Stark), Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and many, many others.
