A new Avengers: Doomsday trailer reveals Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom commanding an army of Sentinels, while Chris Evans teases a brutal return for Steve Rogers.
Marvel Studios has dropped a fresh look at Avengers: Doomsday, giving fans a deeper dive into Robert Downey Jr's take on Doctor Doom and a genuinely bleak outlook for the cinematic universe. According to reporting from IGN South Africa, the latest trailer showcases a broken Victor driven by revenge and commanding an army of Sentinels. Sue Storm, Magneto, Gambit, and a returning Steve Rogers all appear battered and shaken by the escalation.
A standout moment in the footage features Reed Richards confronting Doom over a destroyed city, only for Thor to get swatted away with ease before Doom raises his Sentinel army and declares that hell answers to him. The broader D23 2026 panel brought plenty of other talking points for the community. Hugh Jackman popped up on screen to banter with Ryan Reynolds about joining the cast, though it remains to be seen if the bit was just a joke.
Fans also got a first look at updated costumes for Nightcrawler and Mystique alongside a new promotional poster. Chris Evans recently stoked anticipation during an appearance at Boston Fan Expo by teasing that his return as Steve Rogers will put the character through a brutal gauntlet. Evans noted that directors Joe and Anthony Russo love finding new ways to beat up his character, adding that the new film offers a deep examination of Rogers and his values.
With Rogers now a father and Doctor Doom previously spotted holding baby Franklin in a post-credits scene, the community is already speculating about what kind of heartbreak might be in store for the heroes when the blockbuster finally hits theaters on December 18.
