Overview
- The third teaser, captured on a phone and shared online, centers on the X‑Men with Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Ian McKellen’s Magneto shown together against somber new imagery.
- Footage features a ruined Xavier’s School, towering Sentinels, and James Marsden’s Cyclops in a comic‑accurate suit removing his visor for a massive optic blast.
- The leak landed days before the teaser’s planned theatrical play attached to Avatar: Fire and Ash, following earlier character teasers for Steve Rogers and Thor.
- Marvel’s confirmed anchors remain unchanged, including a December 18, 2026 release, direction by Joe and Anthony Russo, and Robert Downey Jr. portraying Doctor Doom alongside a large MCU, Fantastic Four and legacy X‑Men ensemble.
- Industry chatter suggests the first full trailer may premiere during Super Bowl LX on February 8, though that timing is unconfirmed and sourced to TrailerTrack reports.
