The clock keeps counting down to\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>. It\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve gotten a new preview<\/a> for it, so Marvel thought you might need some help with that and got some ad space in the first World Series game.<\/p>\n

At a minute long, about half the footage is just different baseball players setting up scenes from the movie itself. Those moments are more about comedy and world-building, like showing the Fantastic Four\u2019s popular enough on Earth-828 that Mister Fantastic gets to make the first pitch of the game and Scott getting his wires crossed now that two Caps are around. (Unfortunately, you just had to know that gag would be in the movie.)<\/p>\n

Those hoping for a deeper look at\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0will have to wait another few weeks, it seems, since Marvel\u2019s playing surprisingly close to the chest for its big superhero epic. Other than this, the other big piece of recent news was the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> announcing Sandra H\u00fcller (Project Hail Mary) will have a cameo in the film. As you might expect, details on her role are shrouded in secrecy at this time, but rumors have indicated she may play Doctor Doom\u2019s mother or one of the mysterious Latverian witches teased in some materials.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll know for sure when\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18.<\/p>\n
