Marvel Studios will release the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday in December 2025, pairing the reveal with theatrical screenings of James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. The strategic rollout targets a massive global audience and gives fans an early look at the Phase 6 finale, nearly a year ahead of the film’s scheduled release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the move mirrors Marvel’s past trailer strategies, designed to build long-term anticipation and drive early buzz across platforms.
The trailer is expected to confirm major casting developments. Chris Evans will reportedly return as Nomad, not Captain America, and is rumored to wield Mjolnir in the film. Robert Downey Jr. is also set for a dramatic return — this time as Doctor Doom, a twist that repositions Iron Man’s legacy within the MCU’s new multiversal threat.
The ensemble cast includes:
The crossover scale is unprecedented, with characters from multiple timelines and universes converging in one storyline.
The film will be directed by the Russo Brothers, working from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely. The narrative explores the fallout from Steve Rogers’ decision to live in the past, which has triggered catastrophic multiversal incursions.
Doctor Doom seeks to exploit these fractures, forcing the Avengers to reunite in a final stand to preserve reality. The stakes are described as “existential,” with heroes from every corner of the Marvel universe involved.
Film analyst Grace Randolph noted, “Pairing the trailer with Avatar ensures maximum reach. It’s a calculated move to dominate both fan bases.”
Deadline reports that Marvel’s internal projections expect the trailer to break viewership records, especially given the return of legacy characters and the scale of the crossover.
The early release also signals Marvel’s confidence in Avengers: Doomsday as a tentpole event that will shape the MCU’s future direction.
Following the trailer’s release in December, Marvel is expected to launch a full promotional campaign in early 2026. This includes:
