First Teaser For Avengers Doomsday Released

Disney and Marvel Studios released the first teaser for Avengers Doomsday in theaters before Avatar: Fire And Ash. They thought they could contain it there but…in this day and age, that’s entirely futile. So as of now, you don’t have to watch a bootleg filmed by a phone anymore: the real thing has been uploaded.

“Doomsday” most likely refers to Doctor Doom. Remember when this film was supposed to be about Kang the Conqueror and the main theme was the multiverse? The second wave of the MCU hasn’t gone nearly as smoothly as the first. A slew of tepid installments and the resulting wane in interest have forced Disney into some desperate choices. Fine, you want the original Avengers back? Well, uh, here’s one of them.

This teaser does not contain any actual movie footage (as far as we know). It only exists to reveal one thing: Chris Evans’s return as Captain America, or at least Steve Rogers. They’re not going to derail his happy ending with Peggy, are they? The teaser implies they may not; it focuses on the kid he just had with her. Wonder if that kid becomes someone in the present day. Perhaps I’ve said too much there. Maybe he just sired Doom.

But Rogers isn’t alone! Remember all your favorite 20th Century Fox X-Men actors? Because Disney bought the studio, they’re back. Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, Kelsey Grammer as the Beast and Channing Tatum as Gambit are all confirmed. And that’s in addition to…

Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh as White Widow, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Oh, and Kang ISN’T there. Is that enough to get you to buy a ticket again?

Only you can decide that. Avengers Doomsday opens in movie theaters December 18, 2026.

Seeing Chris Evans again is exciting, but I hope they don’t just use him for nostalgia points. I also wonder if his kid will play a major role. The inclusion of the old X-Men cast makes me a little skeptical because mixing so many characters can get messy fast. Still, I can’t lie—I’m interested in how all these timelines and characters will interact. If done well, it could feel like a proper celebration of the MCU and Fox legacy together. I just hope the story doesn’t get too crowded and every character doesn’t end up with one or two scenes before being shoved aside. I’m cautiously optimistic but also bracing for potential chaos.

I didn’t expect Disney to go that far, and it makes me a little concerned about screen time. Some of them are classics, but with the main Avengers also returning, I don’t know if everyone will get a chance to shine. I’m still excited, though. Chris Evans returning is huge, and I’m curious if they will really explore Steve Rogers’ life with Peggy’s kid. That idea alone gives me a lot of questions and possibilities. Overall, I think it’s going to be a massive fan service moment, but I hope it’s more than just that and the story has real stakes.

I’m honestly conflicted. Part of me is thrilled that Chris Evans is back, and the old X-Men cast is returning, but part of me worries this could be too much for one movie. I’m wondering how they’ll balance all these heroes and storylines. The teaser being more of a concept than actual footage makes me nervous too. It’s exciting to see Marvel trying something big, but I hope it doesn’t end up feeling forced. Still, I’ll probably buy a ticket just to see how they handle Steve Rogers and the new generation of heroes. There’s a lot of potential if they manage it carefully.

Chris Evans back as Captain America alone makes me want to see this. I don’t care if the teaser didn’t show much; it’s enough to know he’s in it. But adding almost the entire Fox X-Men cast feels like they’re trying to do too much. It’s exciting for nostalgia, but I hope it doesn’t overshadow the new characters. I’m mostly curious about how Steve Rogers’ kid will factor into everything. If they can make the story feel personal while juggling all these characters, it could be really interesting. I’m not expecting perfection, but I’ll be watching for sure.

The teaser didn’t show actual movie footage, but just knowing that Chris Evans is back makes me excited. I like that they’re trying to mix the old X-Men actors with the MCU, even if it feels like a lot at once. I’m curious to see if Steve Rogers’ kid will have a big role or if it’s just a setup for future movies. I’m not expecting perfection, but it’s fun to imagine how all these heroes could interact. I’ll probably watch it with low expectations and hope for surprises.

I wasn’t expecting Disney to bring back the Fox X-Men cast in such a big way, and that alone makes me curious. Chris Evans returning is a major highlight, but I’m wondering how they’ll handle his character without undoing his story. The teaser hinting at his kid makes me think they’re going to explore something new, which could be interesting if done right. I just hope the story doesn’t feel overloaded with characters and cameos. Still, I’ll be excited to see the final movie and how all these pieces fit together.

I’m excited and a little skeptical at the same time. Chris Evans is back, and the X-Men cast is returning—that’s huge. But I worry there are too many characters for one story to handle well. The teaser doesn’t show much, but the idea of Steve Rogers’ kid is intriguing. It could be a fresh angle or just a confusing addition. Either way, I’m planning to see it. I hope the movie focuses on the story and not just nostalgia moments, because it has the potential to be something big if done right.
