## Summary

This video analyzes the recently released trailers and leaked footage for 'Avengers: Doomsday' to reconstruct the film's first two acts. The host, Colton Ogburn, combines confirmed leaks and trailer scenes with educated predictions to outline the plot, focusing on Steve Rogers' return, the incursions, and Dr. Doom's villainous scheme.

### Key Points

- **Trailers Confirm Leaks** [00:01] — The official Doomsday trailer and the leaked Comic-Con trailer confirm the legitimacy of many online leaks, allowing for a detailed plot reconstruction.
- **Incursions and the X-Men** [01:09] — The film establishes incursions (universes colliding) as the central threat. The Fox X-Men universe is a target, forcing them to make morally questionable decisions, like destroying another universe to save their own.
- **Steve Rogers' Return** [02:41] — The film will show Steve at Tony's funeral, revealing his plan to stay in the past to Bucky and Thor. This decision is framed as selfish and dishonest, setting the stage for the multiverse crisis.
- **Steve's Time Travel** [05:22] — Steve returns the Infinity Stones, encountering the Ancient One, Red Skull, and others. He then lives a life with Peggy, until Loki warns him about a branching timeline causing an incursion.
- **Loki's Intervention** [08:39] — Loki moves Steve and his family to universe 828 (Fantastic Four's universe) and gives him a TVA card. This sets up Steve's later encounter with the Fantastic Four and Doom.
- **Doom's Plan** [09:30] — Dr. Doom visits the Baxter Building, revealing his plan to stop incursions. He asks Reed to use his tracer tech to find Steve Rogers, the multiversal anomaly in their universe.
- **Sam Wilson's New Avengers** [12:37] — In universe 616, Sam Wilson announces a new Avengers team on live TV, denouncing Valentina's team. This leads to tension with Bucky and sets up the team's formation.
- **Thor's Return** [15:04] — Thor intercepts the Fantastic Four's rocket and reunites with Steve, shocked to see him alive. He brings them to Avengers Tower, where the new Avengers and the Fantastic Four meet.
- **The Plan to Separate Universes** [16:31] — Reed and Doom explain the incursions and propose a plan to build devices in each universe to permanently separate them. Teams split to build the devices in Wakanda and the X-Men universe.
- **Loki's Fate** [18:18] — Steve and Thor go to the TVA, finding it in ruins. They discover Loki dead with his heart ripped out, evidence that Doom is responsible and is using Loki's power.
- **Doom's Betrayal** [19:26] — Doom activates the Sentinels, destroys the devices, and reveals his true villainy. Namor floods the Wakandan device, and Doom returns to his universe to enact his plan.
- **Heroes Unite Against Doom** [21:10] — The Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four gather in universe 828 to prepare for a confrontation with Dr. Doom, setting up the film's third act.

### Conclusion

The video reconstructs the first two acts of 'Avengers: Doomsday' based on trailers and confirmed leaks, predicting a complex plot involving incursions, Steve Rogers' return, and Dr. Doom's betrayal. The host acknowledges that some details are speculative but grounded in available evidence.

## Transcript

is here. But now we have another Doomsday trailer that was just shown at Marvel's Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con. And between these two trailers, both of which confirm the legitimacy of a lot of leaks that have
been making their way around online, we think we can safely lay out for you the full first and second acts of Avengers Doomsday. Hey, welcome back to Screen Crush. I'm Colton Ogburn. And obligatory spoiler warning if anything I predict or
really sure why you clicked on the video to begin with, but there is your spoiler warning. So, we do have the official Doomsday trailer as well as the leaked Comic-Con trailer. And we will be pulling from both to weave together
these first two acts of the film. And according to New Rockstar's own Eric Voss, the Avengers Endgame Encore trailer, which they showed at Comic-Con as well, it featured shots of Steve Rogers returning the Infinity Stones to
the past, the mission that he went on at the end of Endgame. So those scenes are likely to be featured not only in Avengers Endgame Encore, but in Doomsday as well. So let's get started. This is act one and two of Avengers Doomsday
film that we have seen thus far. And again, we are going to be addressing been swirling around for a while now, but we are only going to be addressing the ones that have seemingly been confirmed by all of this new footage.
establishing the threat that is incursions, the colliding of universes, incursions, the colliding of universes, >> destroying one or both entirely. >> We'll learn that the Fox X-Men universe has been placed in a difficult position
following the many, many, many tamperings with time that this universe has been through. It has become a target for collision after collision, incursion after incursion. Now, in the official trailer for Doomsday, we see Professor
Xavier looking out a window at the X mansion, experiencing an incursion, and we can see an approaching world slamming into his own. Now, the X-Men, they will they must make morally questionable decisions. A true trolley problem
scenario. Do they allow their universe to collide with another and both universes die? or do they destroy the other universe themselves in order to save their own? Rumor has it that we will see the X-Men universe colliding
with a universe that we know all too well, the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man universe. Now, I'm not going to go into mega detail of how that scene supposedly unfolds. We'll save a little bit to be a surprise, but rumor has it that this
scene will feature Deadpool as well, which makes sense considering that he made an appearance at the Hall Age panel during the Doomsday presentation. Where during the Doomsday presentation. Where is Thor and why was he crying?
Now, following this opening incursion where we see the X-Men destroy another reality to save their own, we will then get the Doomsday title card, and I think the ticking clock will begin. We will then return home to Universe 616, the
mainline MCU, and we will get to see a side of the story that wasn't shown in Avengers Endgame. I think we will see Steve at Tony's funeral and he will share with Bucky his plan to stay in the past after he returns the Infinity
Stones to their proper place in time. We know from this scene in Ening Ingame that Bucky was well aware of what Steve was about to do. be okay, Bucky. >> Now, we think this scene where Steve is
telling Bucky will also feature Steve telling Thor his plan. Thor being one of Avengers. Now, you might have the question of, "Well, why doesn't Steve tell the Hulk?" Well, Steve likely knows that Hulk or Bruce would strongly advise
against it. And the decision for him not to tell Bruce his plan, it'll be like the first selfish and quite frankly dishonest decision that Steve will make that will then set us on our course to the multiverse's Doomsday. Now,
up later this year, and I got to tell you guys, when that cast assembled on feels. We have been watching this franchise for the past 20 years. I mean, the first X-Men movie came out. And it just makes you take a step back and
reflect on your life. And frankly, I'm feeling my age a little bit. You guys when you're getting older, you're slowing down and something just doesn't head. The older you get, it's only
natural that testosterone begins to decline, sometimes by 1 to 3% every year. This can lead to fatigue, belly fat, low libido, low mood, but it Health, the sponsor of this video, is rated the number one TRT clinic for men
by Forbes Health and WebMD. And they have a 4.8 rating on Trustpilot. Now, I am not a medical professional, but Hone is. And they can connect you with real doctors, real medicine, physician prescribed and personalized treatment
just for you. I know guys personally who have benefited so much from treatment like this, and I really think you should see if Hone is right for you. So, here's local lab where you get tested for more than 40 biioarkers including your
testosterone, your heart health, your metabolism, and more. Then home connects you with a licensed physician who will discuss the benefits and risks of treatment. Then build a personalized treatment plan that's right for you. So
isn't right, then do something about it. Getting older, it doesn't have to mean feeling worse. And you can get tested for $65 off by scanning this QR code on description below. Hone has helped so many people and I hope you are their
was saying. Now, the reason I'm thinking that Steve will tell Thor in addition to Bucky what his plan is to stay in the past is all based on Thor's reaction in the Doomsday trailer when he comes face to face with Steve for the first time
since Endgame on the Fantastic 4's rocket. More on all of that in a bit. So, Steve will tell Bucky and Thor and hell, maybe even his good friend Scott, this whole time heist to save the universe idea in the first place. an
idea that is ultimately leading Steve to get this opportunity to have a life. So, plan. Bucky and Scott will of course be supportive, as will Thor. But Thor, or maybe even Scott, will caution Steve that it's a one-way trip. And Steve will
say something along the lines of, "I hope so." Because Steve, he's tired. He's ready to settle down for the first time in his more than a century of being alive. So, I get it. And I think it makes sense that finally at this moment,
down a little bit, become a little reckless. Of course, that's when he will board the time platform and he'll one by one return the Infinity Stones to the past. And we'll see him have run-ins with several key players.
in contact with the Ancient One, who I think might be revealed later in the film to be one of Doom's witches, particularly this one in the goldish yellow robes. Steve will of course also have to go to Asgard to drop off Muolnir
and I guess put the ether back in Jane Foster. He'll then need to go to Morag to return the power stone. Maybe we'll even get this scene. I am Steve Rogers. >> Who Steve will then come face to face with his old foe Red Skull when he
returns to soul stone. Or here's an idea. Red Skull would be free technically after the soul stone was taken. So what if we see Black Widow or Thanos's spirit there as the new protector of the soul stone? I doubt it.
would be kind of cool. So, next, Steve would need to return the Mind Stone by getting that back to Hydra. So, maybe we'll even see him continue his running point on the scepter hell hydra bit that he started in Endgame. And then, of
course, we have the return of the Space Stone to the military base where he may see Peggy again and then travel even further into the past to go spend that him say something like, "I owe you a dance." They'll then get married.
They'll have a kid. Happy ever after. That is until boom, one day Loki shows up at Steve's door and he warns Steve that he has created a branching timeline that is going to prove problematic, maybe even cause an incursion. And this
is when Steve can learn about how Loki's escape led Loki to going to the end of time, meeting a man who sought to rule it all. Loki having a face turn and trying to give the world free will. Loki could say some like how he was
wrong to always be so disgusted by Steve and that now he admires Steve and the sacrifices that he's seen him make. Loki could then say how he's still trying to That's going to be something that
really into. But Loki is also of course trying to prevent the collapse of the multiverse. And I think we could really see Loki and Steve have a very interesting conversation. Steve being the former Captain America and being all
about freedom, but also all about saving people. And Loki is facing that same situation here. He wants people to be free, but he is also trying to save them. And Steve could probably offer some interesting insight to how to walk
that line. So anyway, Steve, he's in danger. So I think we will see Loki offer to move Steve and his family to another universe where their presence shouldn't be a problem. He'll also give Steve this TVA card where he can contact
saw that in the Doomsday trailer and we can see this wedding ring on his hand. Plus Loki, he looks like he's in Steve's house here. Oh, and this Loki, it will be the same Loki, of course, that is
currently sitting on his throne. I know some have suggested, oh, this is a Loki Loki is still sitting on the throne at this point. He'll just be utilizing his illusion projection to go visit Steve on the time stream.
detailed image from outside oneself, which is perceptible in the external world. So Steve will be moved to universe 828, the Fantastic 4 universe, and we will then get a time skip, maybe a little refresher on who the Fantastic
4 are, and a reminder of how utopic their universe is. We could see Steve and Peggy having their life and having the TV on in the background, showing all the achievements of the Fantastic 4. We could see Steve learning about Galactis
and watching how Reed Richards and the four were able to defeat him, and he can just be admiring them from afar. And then we pick up at that 4-year time skip postredit scene, which was a scene pulled directly from Doomsday, and we
will see Dr. Doom visiting the Baxter building and coming face to face with young Franklin Richards. This scene will then unfold with Sue deactivating her defensive shields when she realizes the man in the cloak is just her old friend,
Victor. In the late Comic-Con trailer for Doomsday, we hear Sue say how she knew Victor before. He was always the smartest guy in every room. He was kind, caring, and while she knew he had changed when he lost everything, likely
that he was broken. Now, in the Comic-Con trailer, when we hear Sue talking about Victor, that is a Sue who has now been betrayed by Victor. But at there with Franklin, Sue will be welcoming and maybe even glad to see
on before turning around, and he will greet Sue and say that he needs to speak with Reed. I think we may also learn that Sue and Victor dated in college and rivalry type thing between Reed and Victor and Sue. So, not only are Victor
and Reed these two giant minds that competed in college like in the comics, but also we could learn that they were competing over Sue Storm and Reed won will all be water under the bridge and Doom will ask to of course speak with
others that >> something's coming, something we may not >> Doom will then share with Reed his plan to stop the incursions and save the help to make it happen. He will then ask Reed to use his lab and his tracer tech
that Reed used to find the Silver Surfer in First Steps to now find a multiversal anomaly in their own universe, one that is on this planet, a being from another reality, Steve Rogers. Doom and the four will then travel to Steve's home and
that he knows them all too well, say that he's a fan, say how his son loves the cartoon, etc., etc., and then Steve that they must be there to tell him that there is a problem. and he likely
assumes that he and his family are at the center of it. So Steve will invite them in. They'll sit down and the four and Doom will tell Steve about the incursions and how their universe is now colliding with the universe that Steve
Steve that they have a plan to stop it, but they will need Steve's help. They will need Steve to serve as an ambassador of sorts to gain the trust of his old friends in universe 616. It's also here that I think we'll see Dr.
Doom meets Steve's son, who I think will like run through the room or something, up and apologize for the interruption, and we'll see Doom look at them with a look of envy for the family that Steve has gained by tampering with time, while
Doom, on the other hand, has lost his wife and son. Steve will then talk with Peggy, explain what's happening. She'll encourage him to go, and then Steve will load up with the Fantastic 4 and Doom, and they will head to the MCU. We will
then cut to universe 616 where I believe we will see a newscast about the space crisis unfolding in the skies of the MCU. The same space crisis that we heard of Thunderbolts, which is a scene from Doomsday that will actually be coming up
here shortly in the film. But before we cut to our new Avengers, we'll cut to an expositional broadcast detailing what is happening. The anomalies in the sky, which we will learn are the early signs of an incursion. will then pan out from
a TV screen and see Scott Lang packing a bag and telling his daughter Cassie by because duty calls. He has been summoned by Sam Wilson, his old friend, and the new Captain America, who is putting together his team of Avengers. We will
then cut to New York where we will see Sam Wilson take a podium on TV and reforming the Avengers and that he is happy to announce Walking Torres Falcon and Scott Lang's Ant-Man as fellow members of his team. And I think Shani
Now, it is here that Sam will denounce the idea of the new Avengers that were announced by Valentina Allegra De Fontaine. Sam will say something to the Bucky and thanks the so-called new
city from Century. But Sam will then remind the world that Century's attack on the city was a result of Valentina's recklessness. And I think he'll then take a swipe at the new team of Avengers being nothing but former mercenaries and
assassins. And that will be a point of contention between Sam and Bucky when insensitive like we can't have a bunch of killers as the Avengers. And Bucky could say killers like me. And Sam could say how he didn't mean it like that. And
can never be Captain America because of the dark things he has done. But he an Avenger. In fact, this scene could take place prior to Sam's announcement of him forming this new Avengers team. And that would flow perfectly into the
Thunderbolts, the postredit scene. So Sam Wilson, he will announce his team of Avengers on live TV. We'll then cut to the Avengers Tower and we'll see the new Avengers walking in. Yolena complaining, asking Bucky if he has spoken to Sam and
>> "It went poorly." >> Red Guardian then walks in and says, >> And again, this is why I think Sam has made a public statement on live about it. And the whole team of New Avengers must have just saw it on the
news as well. So Yolena goes on to say that she is not only upset about Sam but also feeling left in the dark about the space crisis that we will have heard mention of in that news broadcast and then boom extradimensional object
entering the atmosphere. It is the Fantastic 4 and on board is Steve Rogers. Now before the rocket goes to Earth, Thor who I think we'll learn has returned to New Asgard there on Earth and has been raising love there. He too
will have a scene, I think earlier in the film, perhaps prior to the Sam Wilson stuff, where we will see Thor learn more about the impending doom, perhaps through a vision granted to him by his daughter Love, who remember has
the power of eternity, a power that is essentially the power of the universe. And if the 616 universe is dying and going through an incursion, that could explain why love is sick. And it would make sense that she is tuned in with
what's coming and can grant Thor that vision. So Thor will then decide that he needs to go to the Avengers. But on his way, he will intercept this spaceship coming into the atmosphere. He'll go on board. He will meet the Fantastic 4. He
hear, "Hey, pal." >> Thor, who will have not seen Steve since Tony's funeral, and who will have told Steve that this was a one-way trip, will saying that this is >> it's not possible.
>> Thor will then tell the four to land at Avengers Tower. there. Sam and Bucky will have already met in an effort to once again squash the squabbbling of Avengers teams and maybe Sam will even offer Bucky a place on his team. The
Avengers Tower. They will dock out steps Thor, the four, Doom, and Steve Rogers. about his visions and what he has learned from the four and Doom and
the new Avengers to put aside their petty squables because they are in a real pickle here. Reed will then explain the incursions between their world, universe 616, his own world, universe 828, and a third universe, which will be
the Fox X-Men universe. Reed and Doom will then explain their plan to separate these three realities and stop the incursions, essentially by using a device to break the connective barrier between their realities and permanently
separate them forever, making incursion impossible. They will explain that they have already set up a device or have prepared a location for one in their own universe and now they must place one in universe 616 as well as in the third
we've seen in the trailer, the thing Sue, Bucky, Ghost, Waqen, and John Walker will travel to Talon and Wakanda for help from Shuri to build this machine and for a place to put the machine because it's very big. And that
is where I think Neymar will come in and agree to part the sea, creating this water wall and creating a place for them to build this machine. Maybe because needs to be or something like that. I also think this is going to come with a
twist, which I will explain soon. And then of course Reed, Yolena, Sam, Shani, and Bob. They will travel to the third universe, the X-Men universe. And I They'll travel there, encounter the X-Men, have their obligatory, who are
you? Smackdown. They'll realize that they're all on the same team. Reed will plan, and then Reed and Beast will retire to the lab beneath the X-Mansion where they will begin to work on the device for the X-Men universe. Remember,
each universe will have a device planted that will be used to separate them from one another and stop incursions. Now, while all of this is going on, I think Steve will have shared with Thor how he got there. And he will reveal to Thor,
likely at Avengers Tower, that it was Loki who saved him and gave him this card. And he'll show Thor the TVA card with Loki's picture on it. Thor will then insist that he and Steve go there and find Loki. So, once Steve and Thor
arrive at the TVA, I think that they will find it in shambles. Now, this is where I'm getting a little bit more into just like straight up leaks and rumor territory and my own predictions because there's not actually like any footage in
the trailers or postredit scenes or anything that show any of this. But I do such as Reed grabbing Doom and yelling, "Did you do this?" and Thor telling Doom before Thor will grant it. I think that's all kind of lending credence to
Thor discovering something really messed up at the TVA. So once in the TVA, it's been reported that Steve and Thor will find the TVA in ruins, lots of dead agents, and that they will find Loki with his heart ripped out and evidence
that Doom was the one responsible, and that he is now using Loki's heart to give himself Loki's power. Once Thor and Steve realize that Doom is the villain the name didn't give it away, Thor will Infinity War Wakanda land him and Steve
in the X-Men universe, saying, >> "Bring me Dr. Doom." Now, before that Beast, like I said, down in the X-Men lab working on that universe's device for multiversal separation, and something will go haywire. Likely
something that Doom caused, resulting in an explosion coming from the lab, which is right beneath the stairs and lobby area of the X mansion in which we see an official trailer. Thor and Steve will
they discovered about Doom, and Reed will demand to know from Victor if this is true. Thor will then attack Doom. Doom will deflect the swing from Stormbreaker with two fingers and then activate the Sentinels, as we saw in the
leaked trailer from Comic-Con, and which also confirms that leaked footage that we covered a few weeks ago. Now, as this is happening, I think Doom has destroyed the device that Reed and Beast were just working on. We will then cut back over
to universe 616 where Neymar under the instruction of Doom or one of Doom's masked lackeyis. He will release the seaw wall and attempt to flood Sherry's device for their universe that she will have been constructing all this time.
Sue will attempt to hold the waves back with her force field powers as we see attack and eventually the dam will break and the machine will be submerged. Now, the reason I think Neymar is doing this is because Doom has convinced him
there's no stopping what's coming. Let me make you an offer. I can move all of Talon to my new utopia after the multiverse collapses. When Doom will Wars comics, I think Doom will put his kingdom of Lavveria there. And I think
he is promising Neymar his kingdom of Talicon to be on battle world as well. Now, following Doom's betrayal and the destruction of all the devices, Doom will return to his universe, universe 828, specifically his Latvian castle.
And the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Fantastic 4, both the ones that were in universe 616 as well as the ones that were in the X-Men universe, they all travel to 828 to prepare and figure out what the hell they're going to do to
stop Dr. Doom. And that is based on the fact that in the Comic-Con trailer when Sue is talking about how she knew Victor, we see Magneto, Gambit, and various other characters standing around in the Fantastic 4 apartment as she
that, we still got some questions, right? Like, why the hell did Dr. Doom concoct this whole scheme if his plan was to ultimately betray them all and destroy the machines anyway? Like, what was he gaining out of all the lies? My
guess maybe he wanted to get the heroes like at each other's throat and were hoping that they would like fight each other and be distracted doing that so he could sneak out the back and do his evil plan. Maybe he needed the Fantastic 4
out of his universe. Steve Rogers as well so that they couldn't pose a threat to him when he enacts his plan in Liberia. Maybe these machines that Doom helped design have an intentional flaw that does the exact opposite of what he
accelerates the incursion so that he can create his utopia. I don't know. That's right there for the first two acts of
postredit scenes, based on the leaked trailer and leaks that have seemingly been confirmed by these trailers. But let me know, am I way off base here? know down in the comments below. If you're new here, be sure to subscribe,
