What to expect from Avengers Doomsday

Director Russo Brothers, who helm Infinity War and Endgame, promised several surprises in the film.

He called "Doomsday" as the most emotionally layered entry in the franchise while talking to CBR with Robert Downey Jr.

"I think ('Doomsday') is the most emotionally complex of all of them. And in a lot of ways, the most mature of all of them," the filmmaker said.

Downey had also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return to the MCU as Doctor Doom.

"There's an incredible amount of gratitude we have going into these two. One epic at a time. 'Doomsday'... just the gratitude to be able to do it," he said.

"There's something going on in 'Doomsday' and forward that is literally the only antidote to: How do you not have these films be let down after an 'Infinity War' and an 'Endgame?' And boy, have we labored long and hard to bring that down," he added.

Avengers: Doomsday is produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Disney.
