AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY officially weaponizes the MCU's scariest mutant threat
Marvel Studios isn’t playing it safe with Avengers: Doomsday — and maybe the studio has the right to be cocky with the recent success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day being only the eighth film in history to make more than $2 billion at the box office, per a story at USA TODAY.
