- Avengers: Doomsday‘s administrators have shared a brand new behind-the-scenes picture on-line
- Joe and Anthony Russo need followers to “look exhausting” for clues throughout the photos
- No one can agree on what it is attempting to inform us in regards to the Marvel film
Marvel followers are scrambling to resolve a brand new Avengers: Doomsday thriller after a brand new behind-the-scenes (BTS) picture was shared on-line.
Yesterday (September 30), the film’s administrators, Joe and Anthony Russo, took to Instagram to publish a cryptic BTS image from the movie’s set. A caption accompanying the {photograph} asks followers to “look exhausting” at mentioned snap, too, thereby suggesting there is likely to be one thing massive hiding in plain sight.
At first glance, there’s not much we can glean about the next Avengers film. Certainly, the monochromatic {photograph} solely appears to indicate an unidentifiable particular person – I am assuming it is one of many Russos – sitting on a chair in a backstage space of an indoor set.
The individual is surrounded by a lighting rig, an enormous blue display screen, a tent, and different filming gear that is been positioned with the goal of telling us one thing vital in regards to the Marvel Phase 6 flick.
This is not the primary time the Russo brothers have teased the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) fanbase about one in all their movies with a BTS picture.
In 2018, another black-and-white backstage picture, which was additionally accompanied by a “look exhausting” caption, had followers scrambling to resolve the same puzzle. Again then, folks labored out that the {photograph} contained the letters ‘A’ and ‘E’, which helped them work out the title of the movie we would quickly know to be Avengers: Endgame.
Given the similarities between these snaps, it is maybe unsurprising that followers are taking a near-identical method to unlocking this Avengers 5 image’s secrets and techniques. Certainly, a thread on r/marvelstudiosspoilers is stuffed with customers attempting to decode its puzzle utilizing the identical letter-based resolution.
On the time of publication, the prevailing idea is that the {photograph} is hinting at one thing to do with the film’s plot. Quite a few replies recommend that a part of Doomsday‘s overarching narrative will pit The Avengers towards the X-Men as a result of the letters ‘A’ for ‘Avengers’, ‘V’ for ‘versus’, and ‘X’ for ‘X-Males’, are fashioned by numerous objects throughout the picture.
This is not the primary time that an Avengers versus X-Males fan idea has appeared on-line. Following a chair-based livestream that confirmed the initial 27-strong cast for Avengers: Doomsday, some newbie detectives theorized {that a} single chair’s X-style shadow had dropped a big clue about Avengers: Doomsday‘s story, suggesting that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes would battle the long-lasting mutants in some unspecified time in the future within the movie.
After all, others are studying utterly various things into the picture primarily based on letters they suppose they’ll see.
Some consider it is received one thing to do with A.I.M, aka Superior Thought Mechanics, which is a science-based prison group that first appeared in Marvel Comics in July 1966. Nonetheless, contemplating that Doomsday has already received a lot to do from storytelling and character views, I would be very shocked if it marks the introduction of a villainous tech agency within the MCU.
Others consider they’ll see a number of variations of the letter ‘A’ within the snap, indicating that there shall be quite a few Avengers groups in Doomsday. In the meantime, one or two followers suppose the individual sitting within the chair is Robert Downey Jr sporting his Physician Doom masks, which we caught the briefest of glimpses of in The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ mid-credits scene. There’s additionally the odd remark from individuals who cannot consider the Russos are pulling the identical cryptic transfer they did with Avengers: Endgame, with one Redditor writing “not this s*** once more”.
Will followers resolve this newest Avengers: Doomsday thriller? That is still to be seen. What do you suppose? Do you agree with any of the above fan theories, or are we lacking an apparent clue? Let me know within the feedback.
