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.
