The trailer for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ teases the return of new and old MCU stars — here’s everything we know

“Avengers: Doomsday” finally has an official trailer, teasing an ambitious fusion of MCU characters from the original “Avengers” series, “Thunderbolts*,” “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” the “X-Men” universe, and more. “Doomsday” was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the brothers behind “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” which together grossed over $4 billion at the box office.

Although “Doomsday” was originally scheduled to premiere in the spring of 2026, the movie was delayed as part of an extensive shake-up of Disney’s theatrical slate.

It’s now set for release on December 18, 2026, the same day as “Dune: Part 3,” causing Marvel Studios to lose its bid for IMAX screens.

Here’s what to know about the next installment in the lucrative “Avengers” franchise.
