Marvel Studios continues to release short teasers for promotion Avengers: Doomsdaywhich is scheduled for release in December 2026 and was first seen in theaters before that Avatar: Fire and Ashes screenings before they become available to the public.
We previously reported on the first, featuring Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), the former Captain America. A second teaser was released over the holidays focusing on Chris Hemsworth's Thor. Both are familiar faces in the MCU, but we now have a third teaser that brings in some new players. No, not Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, as rumored. Instead we have Magneto (Ian McKellen), Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Cyclops (James Marsden) of the X Men franchise.
The film is set fourteen months after the events of this year Lightning strikes*. In addition to Thor, we have the new Captain America (Anthony Mackie), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Falcon (Danny Ramirez) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Then there's the Wakandan contingent: Shuri as the new Black Panther (Letitia Wright), M'Baku (Winston Duke), and Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejia).
Naturally, the Thunderbolts* (aka New Avengers) will appear: John Walker/US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bob/Sentry (Lewis Pullman), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen).
