CinemaCon’s ongoing lineup delivered a splash of excitement, and the latest tease centers on Avengers: Doomsday. The full trailer promises a sprawling battle across the multiverse, featuring familiar heroes alongside iconic new faces and a certain legendary villain.

The trailer opens with Doctor Doom gearing up to challenge the multiverse, then cuts to Patrick Stewart’s Professor Xavier gazing at a pulsing, unexplained problem. The hype quickly ramps up as a flurry of character reveals follows, including Gambit (Channing Tatum), Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth).

A standout moment arrives during a rapid clash between Thor and Doom, with Doom catching Mjolnir in his bare hands. The old “worthy to wield the hammer” test is seemingly sidestepped by Doom’s apparent power—or perhaps a Doom-specific twist on the Infinity Stones theory. The sequence leaves viewers debating whether Doom is truly worthy, extraordinarily powerful, or something else entirely.

Shortly after, Steve Rogers reportedly makes a dramatic return and manages to lift Mjolnir with ease, signaling a reunion with Thor. The trailer then widens its scope to reveal even more ensembles—Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and X-Men—All teams must join forces to bring Doom down.

The reception at CinemaCon was electric, with the trailer shown twice and a cameo by Robert Downey Jr. fueling the crowd’s enthusiasm. If the footage is any indicator, Doomsday weaves together multiple corners of the Marvel universe into a high-stakes, multiversal showdown.

Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a December 18, 2026 release.
