  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nI have officially seen the _Avengers: Doomsday_ trailer thanks to none other than Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Kevin Feige, and the Russo brothers, who introduced the trailer at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas.\n\nI was excited for the movie already, even despite all the superhero fatigue, but this trailer completely erased whatever nerves I had for this movie. It solidifies that this is a cinematic experience you can't miss — if just for the fact that the entire 4,000-seat Colosseum was all screaming at the top of our lungs so loudly, Disney played the trailer for us a second time.\n\n* * *\n\n## There have been a few teasers, and a few clues, but here's what actually happens in the _Avengers: Doomsday_ trailer. Spoilers ahead!\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn the _Avengers: Doomsday_ trailer, we see the Avengers exploring Professor X's mansion, and it's totally rundown, dark, and dirty. It definitely seems like something's gone wrong. (But that's kind of a given. That's always how _Avengers_ movies open).\n\nWe See Magneto, we see Professor X, we see Gambit, we see Cyclops, and we also get official visual confirmation of a few heroes I have been wanting to see in _Doomsday_!\n\nShang-Chi FINALLY returns (my personal favorite newer Avenger), as does Joaquin (my other favorite newer Avenger). Sam is back, Bucky's back, Yelena's back. We also the Fantastic Four and Thor, and Thor is warning all of the new Avengers that Doctor Doom is scarier than anything he faced with the original Avengers, and with all of the Asgardians. Basically, Doctor Doom is the worst threat they have yet to face.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThere's a shot where Thor is going up against Doctor Doom, and he brings Stormbreaker (his axe) down for a fatal blow, and Doctor Doom literally just stops the axe with like his finger. Like Anna in _Frozen_ stopping Hans's sword. That was crazy. Everybody in the auditorium was going _nuts_.\n\nAnother detail that I noticed is one of my favorite microtropes, I guess you could call it. I just love seeing group dynamics with people of different personality types, and I love when somebody really outgoing and rebellious is paired with someone who is very cautious, and kind of a caretaker.\n\nSo as the Avengers are exploring Professor X's mansion, we see Reed stretched out across a walkway, stopping the rest of the Avengers. But Yelena just kind of ducks under his arm and keeps exploring, and everybody else isn't too sure about that decision. Reed looks particularly concerned.\n\nThat's such a tiny detail, but I love scenes where you just look at all the characters and know exactly what's going on in their minds. And to actually believe they care about each other and have audiences care about them too. THAT'S the core of a powerful story in my opinion!\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWe also see Mystique, who transforms into Elena, and then we get a Florence Pugh versus Florence Pugh fight, as well as a Shang-Chi and Gambit fight.\n\nThe end of the trailer features Thor face to face with someone in a jacket, holding out his hand for Thor's hammer Mjölnir. The camera pans, and it's _Infinity War_ Steve! At least it appears to be. Long hair, bearded Steve Rogers, who else could it be? Does this mean we're getting the \"Steve returning the Infinity Stones\" story people have been begging for? Only time will tell.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nOverall, _Avengers: Doomsday_ already feels like a return to Phase 2 of Marvel (which had hits like _Captain America: The Winter Soldier_). I'm so excited to see all these characters that I care about, and have reached different demographics over the last few decades.\n\nNo view of Scarlet Witch, but never say never!\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n_Avengers: Doomsday_ hits theaters on December 18, 2026.\n\nThe confirmed cast list includes **Robert Downey Jr.** as Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom, **Pedro Pascal** as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, **Florence Pugh** as Yelena Belova, **Sebastian Stan** as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, **Chris Hemsworth** as Thor, **Anthony Mackie** as Sam Wilson/Captain America, **Vanessa Kirby** as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, **Ebon Moss-Bachrach** as Ben Grimm/The Thing, **Simu Liu** as Xu Shang-Chi, **Lewis Pullman** as Bob Reynolds/Sentry, **Danny Ramirez** as Joaquin Torres/Falcon, **Joseph Quinn** as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, **Winston Duke** as M'Baku, **Hannah John-Kamen** as Ava Starr/Ghost, **David Harbour** as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, **Tom Hiddleston** as Loki, **Letitia Wright** as Shuri/Black Panther, **Paul Rudd** as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, **Wyatt Russell** as John Walker/U.S. Agent, **Channing Tatum** as Remy LeBeau/Gambit, **Tenoch Huerta Mejía** as Namor, **Kelsey Grammer** as Hank McCoy/Beast, **Patrick Stewart****** as Charles Xavier/Professor X, **Ian McKellen** as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto, **Alan Cumming** as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler, **Rebecca Romijn** as Raven Darkhölme/Mystique, **James Marsden** as Scott Summers/Cyclops.\n\n**Make sure you follow Brit + Co for all of the _Avengers: Doomsday_ details, exclusives, and Easter eggs you definitely don't want to miss because this movie is going to be something you want to see in theaters.**",
