It\u2019s been six difficult years for movie theater owners since their last heroic team-up in 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tTo the thrill of exhibitors from Seattle to Key West, Disney unveiled the first full-length trailer for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/avengers-doomsday\/\" id=\"auto-tag_avengers-doomsday\" data-tag=\"avengers-doomsday\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>\u201d at <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/cinemacon\/\" id=\"auto-tag_cinemacon\" data-tag=\"cinemacon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CinemaCon<\/a> as part of the studio\u2019s presentation to theater owners. Until now, Marvel has only offered four brief teasers focusing on Captain America, Thor, the X-Men and Fantastic Four all answering the ultimate call to battle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe trailer starts with a look at Downey Jr.\u2019s green-hooded, metal-faced Doctor Doom as he prepares to invade the multiverse. There\u2019s a shot of Professor Xavier looking out his X-Mansion\u2019s window as a bright flash of light is outside, signaling trouble. It\u2019s a flood of crossovers from there: Gambit and Shang-Chi battle; Mystique transforms into Yelena Belova, resulting in a Florence Pugh vs. Florence Pugh fight; and Thor and Doom face off, but Doom catches Thor\u2019s magical hammer Mjolnir with his bare hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe biggest moment comes when Chris Evans\u2019 Steve Rogers makes his triumphant return and reunites with Thor. The Asgardian is shocked at his Avengers teammate\u2019s arrival given that Cap had gone back in time to grow old with his sweetheart Peggy Carter in \u201cEndgame.\u201d It\u2019s still unclear how Cap is back, but he\u2019s clearly still worthy enough to pick up Thor\u2019s hammer, just like he did during the Thanos battle in \u201cEndgame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSimilar to how \u201cInfinity War\u201d and \u201cEndgame\u201d brought together the Guardians of the Galaxy, Wakandans and Avengers, \u201cDoomsday\u201d intermixes Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes with the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts. After the Fantastic Four\u2019s ship crossed into the MCU in the post-credits scene of \u201cThunderbolts,\u201d we finally see Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and Thing meeting the so-called New Avengers (consisting of Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Sentry, Ghost, Red Guardian and U.S. Agent). There\u2019s also a tense showdown between Black Panther\u2019s Wakandan forces and Namor\u2019s underwater Talokans after the two armies clashed in \u201cWakanda Forever.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAll the heroes (and several former villains) must put aside their differences and join forces to take down Doctor Doom. Downey Jr., who narrates some of the trailer in a vaguely Eastern European accent, took the stage with Evans to play the trailer twice for the packed auditorium.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DXNkGWMjzHK\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\"background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">   <\/p>\n<p>View this post on Instagram<\/p>\n<p>  <\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DXNkGWMjzHK\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A post shared by Variety (@variety)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tJoe and\u00a0Anthony Russo are directing \u201cDoomsday\u201d and 2027\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars,\u201d which will conclude the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. The filmmakers have alluded the back-to-back tentpoles will be connected, \u00e0 la the two-part story of 2018\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d and \u201cEndgame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPlot details for \u201cDoomsday\u201d have been kept under wraps, but Robert Downey Jr. is back, too \u2014 not in his career-defining role as Iron Man, but as Doctor Victor von Doom, the main villain for the Fantastic Four. In what promises to be the superhero extravaganza of this or really any year, \u201cDoomsday\u201d features a kitchen sink of Avengers and X-Men, including Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Channing Tatum as Gambit and many, many more heroes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAlthough Marvel\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/features\/thunderbolts-lost-millions-box-office-marvel-next-1236427994\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent track record has been rocky<\/a>, the comic book empire\u2019s biggest post-pandemic hits were major \u201cAvengers\u201d-esque team-ups, including 2021\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d ($1.9 billion) and 2024\u2019s \u201cDeadpool &amp; Wolverine\u201d ($1.33 billion). Exhibitors are giddy about \u201cDoomsday\u201d because the last time that Disney\u2019s Marvel Cinematic Universe assembled the entire gang was 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame,\u201d which powered the biggest opening weekend of all time with $357 million domestically and $1.2 billion globally.\u00a0\u201cEndgame\u201d triumphantly left theaters the highest-grossing movie of the year and second-largest in history with a staggering $2.8 billion worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d is scheduled to open on the same day as \u201cDune: Part III,\u201d which could result in one of the biggest collective weekends in box office history. \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars\u201d is expected to land a year later on\u00a0Dec. 17, 2027.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Finally, at long last, the Avengers are assembling again!
