Marvel has kicked off an Avengers: Doomsday countdown clock livestream, and thousands are eagerly watching the seconds tick down. The clock, which is set to run for over 11 months, marks the highly anticipated release of the movie on December 18th. But here's where it gets controversial... Marvel has already released four teaser trailers, and fans are wondering if the countdown clock signals the end of weekly trailer releases. The trailers have given a glimpse into the movie's key players, but have revealed little about the plot. And, notably, Doctor Doom himself, played by Robert Downey Jr., has remained under wraps. Will anything else happen on the stream? You'll just have to tune in and find out. More than 5,000 fans are currently watching, so it's safe to say there's a lot of excitement building. The countdown clock may signify a wait for more trailers, perhaps until the Super Bowl on February 8th. But this isn't the first time Marvel has used a livestream to build hype. Last year, the movie's cast list was revealed via the infamous 'chair stream', where names were written on the back of chairs in a long line within a cavernous aircraft hanger. At the end, after hours of wait, sat Robert Downey Jr. himself. Could he pop up again via the countdown clock? As of now, 11 months, four days, and a little over 14 hours remain until Avengers: Doomsday's launch. So, are you excited yet?
