THE FUSE

In the coming weeks, four Avengers: Doomsday trailers are supposed to be playing in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Each of these teasers focuses on one of a handful of characters in its very large cast, with this week’s focusing on Steve Rogers. This strategy feels like a pretty desperate way to get Marvel diehards to see the three-hour long movie multiple times, but it’s working, as some fans attended early, midnight showings of James Cameron’s latest sequel not to return to the world of Pandora but simply to catch the Avengers teaser. However, some fans are reporting back that no such teaser played ahead of their screenings.
