movie<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by Iman Vellani and Frank Alvarez, it works through five films across five weekly episodes<\/p>\n<p>The run builds toward the December 18 theatrical release of Avengers: Doomsday, with its final episode tied to an &#8216;Endgame&#8217; re-release<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Marvel has launched the <em>Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast<\/em>, a video series built to walk fans back through the Infinity Saga on a schedule that leads straight to the new film. Available on Disney+, YouTube and audio platforms, the podcast pairs Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani with Frank Alvarez, co-host of the comedy podcast The Basement Yard, for a structured rewatch running up to <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The format is designed as a runway rather than a loose chat. Each episode has Vellani and Alvarez revisit a single <em>Infinity Saga<\/em> film, pairing a recap with an in-depth conversation that walks through specific scenes and traces the Avengers\u2019 arc, while, in Marvel\u2019s words, \u201ccelebrating the MCU\u2019s most iconic moments.\u201d Along the way, the two speculate about the themes, characters and story threads that could feed into the reunion Doomsday is setting up.<\/p>\n<p>The countdown is mapped to five films across consecutive weeks, all of them streaming on Disney+. The series opened on August 27 with The Avengers, then continues through <em>Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em> on September 3, <em>Captain America: Civil War<\/em> on September 10, <em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> on September 17, and <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em> on September 24. The sequencing effectively rebuilds the emotional spine of the <em>Infinity Saga<\/em> in order, so viewers arrive at the finale primed for what comes next.\n<\/p>\n<p>That finale is where the countdown ties back into theaters. The fifth episode is timed to land alongside the September 25 theatrical re-release of <em>Avengers: Endgame: Encore<\/em>, turning the podcast\u2019s closing beat into a lead-in for seeing the saga\u2019s biggest chapter on the big screen again. From there, the runway points to December 18, when <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> opens.\n<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D\u2019Esposito and Jonathan Schwartz, Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom, otherwise known as Doctor Doom, at the head of a sprawling ensemble that includes Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, Anthony Mackie and many more.\n<\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the <em>Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast<\/em> are streaming on Disney+, YouTube and audio platforms, leading up to the theatrical release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6774849\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>&#8216;Top Gear&#8217; Is Officially Coming Back to the BBC With a New Lineup and Fresh Format\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6775033\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Zoinks!

The fifth episode is timed to land alongside the September 25 theatrical re-release of <em>Avengers: Endgame: Encore<\/em>, turning the podcast\u2019s closing beat into a lead-in for seeing the saga\u2019s biggest chapter on the big screen again. From there, the runway points to December 18, when <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> opens.\n<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D\u2019Esposito and Jonathan Schwartz, Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom, otherwise known as Doctor Doom, at the head of a sprawling ensemble that includes Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, Anthony Mackie and many more.\n<\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the <em>Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast<\/em> are streaming on Disney+, YouTube and audio platforms, leading up to the theatrical release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6774849\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>&#8216;Top Gear&#8217; Is Officially Coming Back to the BBC With a New Lineup and Fresh Format\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6775033\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Zoinks!

The series opened on August 27 with The Avengers, then continues through <em>Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em> on September 3, <em>Captain America: Civil War<\/em> on September 10, <em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> on September 17, and <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em> on September 24. The sequencing effectively rebuilds the emotional spine of the <em>Infinity Saga<\/em> in order, so viewers arrive at the finale primed for what comes next.\n<\/p>\n<p>That finale is where the countdown ties back into theaters. The fifth episode is timed to land alongside the September 25 theatrical re-release of <em>Avengers: Endgame: Encore<\/em>, turning the podcast\u2019s closing beat into a lead-in for seeing the saga\u2019s biggest chapter on the big screen again. From there, the runway points to December 18, when <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> opens.\n<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D\u2019Esposito and Jonathan Schwartz, Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom, otherwise known as Doctor Doom, at the head of a sprawling ensemble that includes Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, Anthony Mackie and many more.\n<\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the <em>Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast<\/em> are streaming on Disney+, YouTube and audio platforms, leading up to the theatrical release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Sophie Caraan<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-credentials d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<div class=\"credential\">\n<h6>Editor Assistant<\/h6>\n<p><span>Mai Vo<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    MarvelAvengers: Doomsday\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/8\/marvel-launches-countdown-to-avengers-doomsday-official-podcast&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F08%2F28%2FMarvel-Launches-Countdown-to-Avengers-Doomsday-Official-Podcast-tw.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Entertainment Aug 29, 2026 2.9K Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Sophie Caraan Editor Assistant Mai Vo Share this article Marvel Studios Entertainment Aug 29, 2026 2.9K Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Summary Marvel has launched the &#8216;Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday Official Podcast,&#8217; a video podcast rewatching key Infinity Saga films ahead of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-2119970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2119970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2119970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2119970\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2119970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2119970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2119970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
