Early Avengers: Doomsday reactions have drawn parallels to The Godfather and Star Wars, according to a new rumor. The anticipated MCU movie is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and will arrive later this year.
Insider My Time To Shine Hello on X recently dropped a fresh scoop on Doomsday, claiming that some early reactions are already out. The rumor claims that someone who attended a Doomsday test screening praised the film while comparing it to several notable titles, including Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Kingdom Hearts, and even Gerard Butler’s 2009 obscure thriller Law Abiding Citizen.
The post read, “If Fant4stic, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Law Abiding Citizen, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Kingdom Hearts, and The Godfather had a baby, it would be this.”
While the insider has previously made claims about Marvel that have proven accurate, fans should still take the latest rumor with a grain of salt until Marvel Studios provides an official update.
How is Avengers: Doomsday performing in pre-sales so far?
It might be over three months away from release, but Avengers: Doomsday is looking to smash box office records, thanks to strong ticket pre-sales.
Doomsday has already generated more than $50 million in domestic presales ahead of its December 18 theatrical debut. Some fans have even predicted that at this pace, the movie may end up crossing the magical $3 billion mark at the global box office when it eventually comes out.
If the growing hype stays as high as it’s right now, Doomsday will likely surpass the MCU’s highest-grossing movie in history, Avengers: Endgame. The 2019 blockbuster made almost $2.8 billion globally, according to Box Office Mojo. Plus, the seven-year-old film may add some extra amount to its lifetime collection with the upcoming rerelease, titled Endgame Encore.
Avengers: Doomsday’s massive cast is led by Robert Downey Jr., who plays the main villain Victor von Doom. The movie will also feature Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, and more.
