Guys,Robert Downey Jr.andChris Evansare fighting again.
Tom Hanks, Robert Downey Jr., more CinemaCon stars reveal their new movies
Downey's Iron Man and Evans' Captain America tussled to superhero movie lovers' content 10 years ago in "Captain America: Civil War." They're butting heads on screen once more in theMarvel Cinematic Universe, but now Downey's under a very different mask.
AtCinemaCon, the convention for movie theater owners, Downey was on hand to debut the first trailer for Marvel's"Avengers: Doomsday"(in theaters Dec. 18), which marks the Oscar winner's first appearance as the villainous Doctor Doom.
"What I want to do is give away, like, 37,000 spoilers right now. Should I, just for fun?" Downey said,teasing the crowdthat gave him a standing ovation during his entrance. He added that Doom as a character is "wildly epic, to say the least."
Instead of reveals, Downey introduced fresh footage. While Disney didn't release it immediately online and to the public, those in attendance at CinemaCon offered up details on social media. Details apparently included anappearance by the Fantastic Fourand a throwdown between Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) and Gambit (Channing Tatum), plus Thor (Chris Hemsworth) battling Doom andCaptain America calling on Thor's hammer Mjolnironce more.
Evans joined Downey on the CinemaCon stage withsome faux awkwardness.
"Hey, pal," Evans said. "Things are still a little tense," Downey quipped back.

"I said I would only come back for a real reason, and in 'Doomsday' there is a very real reason that these superheroes need Steve Rogers," explained Evans, who bowed out of the MCU after 2019's "Avengers: Endgame."

"Those are fighting words," Downey added.
