We've been counting down the days until Avengers: Doomsday releases in movie theaters and, as crazy as it is to say out loud, we are almost just one month away. Weren't we just two months away?! It's true; the sand continues to slip through that Marvel Cinematic Universe-shaped hour glass and Doctor Doom's heavily-anticipated arrival is almost upon us.
Ahead of its release, there will be at least one more theatrical trailer. That's expected to surface in the coming days and / or weeks, but the truth of the matter is that it will be sooner rather than later - because, again, we have just a month until the movie makes its presence felt on audiences around the world. And, with that in mind, a recent update regarding that trailer has understandably heightened excitement even further.
Next Avengers: Doomsday will reportedly 'break the internet'
According to established industry insider James Mack, the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer "is going to break the internet". He then accompanied that tweet with a GIF from the original 2012 The Avengers movie, featuring the scene in which Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk all assemble for the first time.
There is a lot of buzz surrounding this third trailer, in particular, and it all has to do with the fact that the first two stayed pretty close to the same portion of the film when it came to new footage. The very first one teased Thor rounding up the troops, informing them of Doctor Doom's existence and the impending end of the multiverse while also teasing a showdown betweem the God of Thunder and Doom himself (as well as a showdown between the X-Men and the Avengers). The second built on that, featuring more of a look at Doom, his backstory and motivations, as well as a united team of heroes as the villain raises Sentinels from the ground to showcase his power.
Very little is known about the movie outside of that. Due to leaks that took place right around the time that the trailers were released, we know that the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four will team up for a major battle against Doom's Sentinels. It stands to reason that Thor's showdown with Doom takes place during this window of time, too. If that is the case, it essentially leaves the rest of the movie as uncharted territory.
With that in mind, it's fair to assume that any internet-breaking new footage in the next trailer would feature some major reveals that fans weren't aware of before. We know that Avengers: Doomsday will be full of surprises, with a mutitude of major cast members not yet announced. Could Marvel Studioso take this opportunity to unveil at least one of them?
Rumor has it that the incursions will play out like the Anti-Matter Wave in DC's Arrowverse crossover Crisis On Infinite Earths, taking out multiple recognizable universes from Marvel's past - and therefore allowing cameo appearances from former Marvel stars (regardless of whether they are canon to the MCU or not). Among the rumored names to cameo in the star-studded affair are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, and perhaps even Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, too.
We're ready for new footage from Avengers: Doomsday. While Marvel Studios has done a brilliant job of keeping a lid on the film's core narrative, the impending arrival of the movie itself means that fans need a little bit more to heighten anticipation a little more. And it goes without saying that new footage, new teases, and perhaps even some new reveals would be exactly the way to pull that off.
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in movie theaters on December 18, 2026.
