Marvel Studios has officially released the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, confirming the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. This comes roughly a week after the teaser leaked online, when movie fans seated for screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash began recording it in the theater. It was reported in the weeks leading up to the release of Avatar 3 that there would be four Doomsday trailers, with the first focusing on Evans’ return as Rogers. The second, highlighting Chris Hemsworth’s return as Thor, has also leaked online. It will likely be fully released online around this same time next week.
The Doomsday teaser focused on Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers is expected to continue playing ahead of Fire and Ash for the next few days before being swapped out for Hemsworth’s Thor teaser. The third, which will likely be released next week, will reportedly focus on Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Similar to the Steve Rogers and Thor teasers, it likely won’t provide any critical plot information, but it is expected to reveal the first official look at Downey’s MCU villain. The fourth and final Avengers: Doomsday teaser will reportedly focus on the team as a whole, acting as a trailer for the full movie, not just one character.
Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for release on December 18, 2026. This is the same day that Dune: Part Three is scheduled to be released, and if both films stick to this date, it could be one of the biggest opening weekends in box office history, comparable to Barbenheimer. Doomsday has already been delayed once, so if either film is going to come off this date, it will be Dune: Part Three.
Are Any Other Original Avengers Coming Back in ‘Doomsday’?
The only names from the original six Avengers confirmed to star in Doomsday are Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Hemsworth. Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Mark Ruffalo have not been confirmed to have roles in the film, but now that Marvel is clearly leaning into the nostalgia from the Infinity Saga, it would be surprising to see them not involved in any way. Ruffalo’s Hulk will be seen before Doomsday in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the Tom Holland-led flick that arrives on July 31, 2026.
