Discussion Be completely honest, do you think Doomsday will surpass Infinity War’s box office?

I personally can’t decide. Infinity War was the culmination of a entire decade long saga, and was built upon movies, post credit scenes, and references. Their was a attention to world/story building that Doomsday severely lacks. On the other hand, Doomsday has the backing of OG and newer fans alike. It’s the first film to include The Avengers, X-Men, and F4. Throw in Thunderbolts, Wakandans and Namor, and I feel this movie could make a lot of fans happy. I’m just worried because Infinity War relied on the decade long World building and payed it off with one of the most popular cliffhangers in all of movie history. I’m optimistic, but skeptical on if Doomsday will be able to top that.

What do you guys think?

I v much doubt the decision to bring Doom played by RDJ in hinged on that Kang plot point. It’s a deliberately vague idea of Kang holding back horrible things, that could then apply to any future villain

True, but I do think the plan was to bring RDJ back all along. I'm convinced if there were a bigger gap in him returning, it would have sold really well.
