   ROAD TO DOOMSDAY #2: Infinity War, Endgame Encore & Avengers: Doomsday

   The Road to Avengers: Doomsday continues as Josh and John revisit Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame following the release of Endgame Encore. Is Infinity War actually the better film? Does Endgame still feel like the natural ending of the MCU? And what does the new Doomsday footage tell us about Steve Rogers, Loki, Bruce Banner, Doctor Doom and the collapsing Multiverse? We also react live to the news that Samuel L. Jackson is returning as Nick Fury in Avengers: Secret Wars, discuss why Doom may have to win in Doomsday, and question whether Steve Rogers' decision to remain in the past could have consequences for the Multiverse. In this episode: • Avengers: Infinity War revisited • Infinity War vs Endgame • The five-year Blip and the Endgame time heist • Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff's endings • Endgame Encore and its new Avengers: Doomsday material • Loki visiting Steve and Peggy • Doctor Doom and Bruce Banner • The TVA and the incoming incursions • Samuel L. Jackson returning as Nick Fury in Avengers: Secret Wars • Our latest Avengers: Doomsday theories ROAD TO DOOMSDAY is Popped's MCU rewatch and discussion series building towards Avengers: Doomsday. Next up: WandaVision and our VisionQuest primer. Subscribe to Popped for more Marvel, film and TV coverage.

   The Road to Doomsday begins. In the first episode of our new PoppedCast series, we revisit The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron as we begin our journey towards Avengers: Doomsday.
