Avengers 5 Exclusive: First Look at Doomsday Before This Year’s Biggest Blockbuster!

Following a bustling 2025 that saw the release of three Marvel films (Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps), the superhero universe will see only two major releases in 2026. The highly anticipated fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland, titled Brand New Day, will premiere in July, followed by the heavyweight Avengers: Doomsday in December. While some behind-the-scenes footage of the former has already surfaced, the latter remains shrouded in secrecy. Details about its plot are still under wraps, but we might learn more soon as rumors suggest that a teaser trailer could be released in the coming weeks.

One Year to Go

Indeed, according to American media outlet Collider, early footage of the film, which marks Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU not as Tony Stark but under the guise of Doctor Doom, directed by the Russo brothers who also helmed the last two Avengers films, is set to be released before Avatar: Fire and Ashes hits theaters. This makes perfect sense as both blockbusters are distributed by Disney, and it reciprocates the favor since the first trailer for James Cameron’s film was shown before screenings of The Fantastic Four!

Potential False Hope

The third installment of the Sully family saga is expected in theaters on December 17, exactly one year before the release of Avengers: Doomsday. Revealing the first footage of the film at this time would be a real treat for Marvel fans. However, Collider notes that the decision to unveil the trailer for the 39th MCU film in just over a month could still change. There’s also a possibility that this announcement might only apply to the United States, which we certainly hope isn’t the case! We’ll find out soon enough in theaters.
