Avengers: Doomsday is just months away, and one of the Marvel team's most divisive chapters is a sudden streaming hit 11 years later.

This weekend, the world will finally get its hands on Christopher Nolan's most ambitious film yet, as the likes of Tom Holland,Zendaya, and Jon Bernthalstar in the Matt Damon-led The Odyssey. But if almost three hours of a cinematic blockbuster starring Holland, Zendaya, and Bernthal wasn't enough for you, you need only wait until July 31 for your next dose, as the trio stars in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Expected to rake in over $1 billion and help rectify the mistakes of the MCU in 2025, Brand New Day is the latest feature step on the road to Avengers: Doomsday, which debuts on December 18, the same day as Dune: Part Three.It was recently reported that Doomsday would be the second-longest movie in the MCU, clocking in at 165 minutes, or 2 hours and 45 minutes. This news has only helped propel the already bursting excitement for Doomsday, which can be easily seen on the streaming charts.

Right now, across many platforms such as HBO Max and Disney+, the superhero hype can be felt. But this ripple of anticipation has now reached other streamers too, including Starz, with the most divisive Avengers movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron, currently ranking as one of the ten most-streamed movies on the platform in the U.S. The sequel to the hugely successful 2012 Avengers movie, the film follows the assembled heroes as they take on an AI threat in the form of Ultron (James Spader), who hopes to bring about world peace through human extinction.

How Much Money Did 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Make?

Three of the ten highest-grossing movies of all time are MCU projects, so one might expect that Age of Ultron was a smash hit. Indeed, against an eye-watering budget of $365 million, it became the 19th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, scoring almost $1.4 billion in global revenue. The upcoming Doomsday seems destined to overtake Age of Ultron as it heads for box office immortality, but can it defeat Endgame? Only time will tell.
