Doomsday Answers Questions and Marvel Opens the Multiverse Floodgates (Ep. 24)

Jim Hill returns from the D23 Expo with a firsthand look at Marvel’s latest reveals, while Dan Graney digs into a new Avengers: Doomsday trailer that appears to answer several theories from Episode 23. They break down Doctor Doom’s motivations, Marvel’s newly revealed X-Men cast, Vision Quest, and the latest trailer for Ahsoka Season 2. Then the conversation turns to a crossover that once sounded like a Patton Oswalt punchline but is now real: Marvel and Star Wars are officially colliding in the five-issue Hope Assembles comic series.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The new Avengers: Doomsday trailer offers fresh clues about Victor Von Doom, his lost family, and his plans for the multiverse.

• Jim reports from D23 on Marvel’s TVA-style experience, Doom’s throne room, and a detailed blueprint of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

• Marvel reveals a new X-Men cast including Sadie Sink, Kit Connor, Christopher Abbott, Samara Weaving, Indy Navarrette, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister.

• Vision Quest brings White Vision face-to-face with manifestations of familiar MCU artificial intelligences, including JARVIS and Ultron.

• Ahsoka Season 2 sets up Thrawn’s war, Ahsoka’s continuing questions about her Jedi identity, and new mysteries involving Baylan Skoll and the Mortis mythology.

• Marvel and Star Wars collide in Hope Assembles, a five-issue comic series written by Kevin Smith with art by David Marquez.

• Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca cross into Marvel’s Earth-616, where heroes including Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow, and Hulk enter the fight.

• Doctor Doom and Marvel villains join forces with Darth Vader and the Empire in a crossover that makes Patton Oswalt’s legendary Parks and Recreation filibuster feel strangely prophetic.
