The latest spoiler-free Doomsday news, with sources. Rumors are clearly labelled.

Unconfirmed: treat it as a rumor until Marvel says otherwise.
Marvel Studios revealed a world tour with a countdown clock. The stops are Las Vegas, São Paulo, Gold Coast, Rome, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Toronto and Los Angeles. Dates for each city weren't given at launch.
Forbes reports worldwide presales above $125 million about seven weeks before release. US presales had already passed $50 million by early September, after sales opened in July for premium screens and in mid-August for all theaters.
