The first real trailer for Avengers: Doomsday is here, showcasing the film’s massive ensemble cast and giving us our best look yet as Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as the villainous Doctor Doom.
Disney and Marvel Studios finally gave MCU fans what they’ve been waiting months for. After a handful of brief character teasers that focused on Steve Rogers, Thor, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Wakandans, and Namor, Marvel has delivered what fans were expecting to see months ago: an honest-to-goodness, two-and-a-half-minute trailer for Avengers: Doomsday.
The trailer begins with a look at the returning X-Men and our first glimpse at Doctor Doom, including a taste of Downey’s Latverian accent. The remainder of the trailer focuses on Thor (Chris Hemsworth) explaining to the Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, Avengers, and others just what a threat Doom is. That’s further implied in a brief combat scene, in which Thor strikes at Doom with Stormbreaker, only for the Latverian lord to casually block the thunder god’s attack.
“We’re going to need a miracle,” Thor says, just before Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) shows up, much to the bewilderment of Thor. But ol’ Mjölnir believes in the return of Steve, who’s showing up to save the day in a pretty casual ‘fit.
Suffice it to say, Marvel Studios and the Russo brothers are pitching Doctor Doom as a nigh-unstoppable godlike threat, far deadlier than the likes of Thanos, Ultron, and Loki. At least the Avengers appear to have Loki on their side this time.
Marvel’s long-awaited Avengers: Doomsday trailer arrives as tickets for the movie go on sale on Monday and ahead of Marvel returning to San Diego Comic-Con later this week.
After a series of middling box office showings for its superhero movies, Marvel Studios hopes to return to Avengers: Endgame glory with an all-star show of force that brings back characters from the past decade-plus of the MCU and the Fox era of X-Men films. Even Shang-Chi will be back! Directors Joe and Anthony Russo return to Marvel with the mandate of reviving the broad cultural interest (and box office) of their previous Avengers twofer.
The next Avengers movie stars Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, alongside returning Marvel actors 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 the Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh as White Widow, Kelsey Grammer as the Beast, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, and Channing Tatum as Gambit.
Avengers: Doomsday lands in movie theaters on Dec. 18. A direct sequel is already in the works, with 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars.
