The first trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday” is finally here, and it’s already giving fans a lot to talk about, especially with Chris Evans back in the spotlight as Steve Rogers. When the early leaks started popping up online, I’ll admit I thought they were just AI‑generated clips. Turns out, Marvel is deliberately rolling out these character teasers, one by one, to build the hype.
But you might be surprised: This isn’t an action-packed trailer. Instead, it’s a “character teaser” that essentially confirms our beloved hero, Steve, is returning to the battlefield. He’s seen getting off his motorcycle and entering his peaceful home, putting his suit away in a chest and locking it shut, then cradling what appears to be his baby. That, to me, is a surprising twist! There’s no word yet on what his role will actually be, but one thing is clear: Steve Rogers is definitely back.
Right now, “Avengers: Doomsday” is shaping up to be one of the biggest ensemble events in phase six of the MCU. The movie will bring together a massive roster of heroes and villains, reuniting mainstays like Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, Paul Rudd’s Ant‑Man, and Letitia Wright’s Shuri alongside newer additions like the original X‑Men and the Fantastic Four to take on one of the MCU’s greatest threats: Doctor Doom.
Robert Downey Jr. is confirmed to return, not as Iron Man, but intriguingly as Victor von Doom himself, setting up a multiverse‑spanning conflict that also paves the way for the sequel “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
As for Chris Evans, the first official teaser ends with text announcing “Steve Rogers will return.” That’s notable because “Endgame” gave him what many fans assumed was a definitive retirement with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), passing the Captain America mantle to Sam Wilson. Marvel’s marketing carefully avoids calling him “Captain America” in the trailer text, which might mean that Evans’ role could be something a bit more nuanced, possibly a variant of the character in another timeline.
And if you’re excited for more, word is Thor’s character teaser might drop sometime next week, hinting at even more clues as Marvel slowly pieces together the universe before “Avengers: Doomsday” hits theaters.
“Avengers: Doomsday” is slated for release on December 18, 2026.
