Tickets for Avengers: Doomsday are set to go on sale at 9 am ET/6 am PT/2 pm BST, and the live countdown clock, which is ticking down to the movie's December release, has just received an intriguing update.
As you can see in the player below, the minutes and seconds are now highlighted in green, suggesting something is on its way less than 40 minutes from when we're writing this. Interestingly, ominous music can now also be heard, whereas it was previously just the seconds being counted down.
Could Marvel Studios surprise us all with the first full Avengers: Doomsday trailer today?
The studio has a Hall H panel planned for this Sunday at the San Diego Comic-Con. However, it would make sense to launch tickets with a sneak peek, even if it's just hyping a longer version for the weekend (alternatively, those lucky enough to be in San Diego could get some exclusive footage).
It's also possible that the focus today will be on Avengers: Endgame Encore, an extended version of the movie—set for a September 25 release—that's set to feature at least 7 minutes of additional footage tying the 2019 blockbuster to Avengers: Doomsday.
Either way, there's not long to go until we find out, and whatever's on the way has to be better than the last time we were promised a surprise. Who could forget the coffee pop-up, after all?
"Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday," reads a new synopsis for the movie. "Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.
