Marvel Studios is a titan of the Hollywood landscape, delivering hit after hit for decades now. Even with a little blip here or there in recent releases, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still the undisputed champion of the movie industry, with very little being able to touch the levels of success that its Avengers movies, Spider-Man films, and the likes of special events like Deadpool and Wolverine, or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness can achieve. And now it looks to do it all again with Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel Studios is taking to the CinemaCon stage in Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, as part of the Walt Disney Studios Presentation to showcase some of the upcoming titles from the parent studio, including Disney's The Devil Wears Prada 2, Lucasfilm's next Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu, and of course, Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday.
Join us for some LIVE coverage of the event as we update you on every announcement and update from Kevin Feige, the Russo Brothers, and Marvel Studos.
Pre-show footage teases what's to come
Ahead of the Walt Disney CinemaCon panel, a sizzle reel teased fans with what's to come from the evening of festivities. During that montage, there were clips of Avengers: Doomsday featured, including Chris Evans' Steve Rogers on a motorcycle, Thor talking to the All-Father, and Cyclops unleashing his optic blast - rounding up some of the scenes showcased in the previous four Avengers: Doomsday teasers. It also sees Cap looking his classic Captain America suit before then holding his baby son.
Brandon Davis, who is in attendance at the event, shares a breakdown:

Avengers: Doomsday is sticking to its December 18 release date
Marvel Studios has unveiled posters for Avengers: Doomsday during CinemaCon, which confirm that the film will not be changing its December 18, 2026 release date.
Rumor had it that the studio planned on moving a week earlier to obtain some IMAX screens (which Dune 3 currently holds on the December 18 date), but it looks like that will not the be the case after all.

Marvel confirms first look at Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom
During the Disney Presentation, a wall of upcoming releases featured Robert Downey Jr. suited up as Doctor Doom (which represented Avengers: Doomsday). Although this image had surfaced before, it's the first time that Marvel has officially confirmed it to be true. And as a result of this, we can pretty much accept that this is what Downey Jr.'s legendary villain is going to look like.
