Marvel Releases First 'Avengers: Doomsday' Teaser, Confirming Chris Evans' Return

Overview

• The teaser focuses on Steve Rogers at home, stowing his old suit before holding a baby, then ends with the line, “Steve Rogers will return in Avengers: Doomsday.”
• Marvel posted the clip after a week of audience-recorded leaks from its attachment to Avatar: Fire and Ash, which had frustrated fans awaiting an official release.
• Directors Joe and Anthony Russo shared the teaser with a message about returning to Steve Rogers, reaffirming their roles on Doomsday and the 2027 follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars.
• Positioned as a large-scale crossover, Doomsday features Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom alongside returning Avengers, legacy X‑Men actors, and the new Fantastic Four, with release set for Dec. 18, 2026.
• Reports point to weekly character teasers—next spotlighting Thor and then Doctor Doom—before a fuller trailer, as Marvel also navigates backlash to Disney Brazil’s localized title change.
