What happened

It would be an understatement to say that "Avengers: Doomsday" is one of the most anticipated movies in a long time from Marvel Studios, as fans are anxiously awaiting any glimpse of footage from the upcoming release.

Why it matters

With the movie set to hit theaters in December, it's going to be an epic event, although some of the most recent Marvel film releases might have lowered fans' expectations.

Common ground

Early chatter has raised the expectations once again, as it includes a star-studded cast unseen since the previous Avengers movies, and more superheroes than most non-Marvel fans can keep track of.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
