Doom is coming for the Avengers. And now it has finally come for all of us. At D23 Marvel Studios shared the Avengers: Doomsdaytrailer it first aired exclusively at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. And if you were frustrated you didn’t get a chance to see it before, you’re going to be even angrier you had to wait. This is a fantastic introduction worthy of Doctor Doom. That is unless you’re a member of the Fantastic Four.
There’s no question who Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom is in this trailer. He is the greatest threat the multiverse has ever known. In the last official look at the film, the iconic villain was first teased as someone who was maybe hoping to save worlds. But this time the MCU is all-in on letting all fans know what awaits them in the next Avengers film. Sue Reed provides background into what happened to her old brilliant friend, whom she did not realize was more than lost. He was broken. The Avengers: Doomsday trailer’s official tagline also makes reference to the catastrophic chance in the genius sorcerer: “He used to be different.”
Also broken in this star-studded trailer? Thor’s back, as we get an even better look at the sequence where Doctor Doom easily flicks away the God of Thunder.
While the build to Doom has essentially been non-existent (even if the multiversal saga has been), this is the kind of Avengers: Doomsday teaser that will do a lot of heavy lifting for viewers who might not know why Doom is a truly all-time, iconic legendary bad guy. And that was true before he potentially kills Sir Ian McKellan’s long-haired Magneto.
Please, let Doom and his Sentinels come for us all. So long as he doesn’t harm one strand of that glorious hair.
We’ll find out if Doom will harm all of them later this year. Avengers: Doomsdaypremieres on December 18, 2026.
