The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga is approaching its culmination, and that’ll begin with Avengers: Doomsday. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film is set to see various heroes across the multiverse take on the threat of Doctor Doom (played by Robert Downey Jr.). Fans have been anxiously awaiting a first look at this 2026 movie schedule entry and, now, they have it by way of the first official trailer. It delivers on the film’s promise of uniting the heroes, but what I really love is the role Thor has seemingly taken on.
Although there are plenty of heroes in the fold with this story, Thor has the most prominent role in this particular trailer, and I love it. It’s Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder who narrates the trailer and stresses to his comrades that they must work together to defeat this new threat. All in all, Hemsworth delivers this dialogue with conviction, and it’s so great to see the character take center stage in such a way.
The Thor of this aside, though, when it comes to MCU crossovers, where can we even start when it comes to this trailer? There are so many character combinations here that have my head spinning in the best way. For starters, there’s a group shot in Avengers Tower that features the New Avengers alongside the Fantastic Four and others like Sam Wilson and Thor. We also get a look at Mystique and Yelena Belova going at it, while Shang-Chi and Gambit fighting in the coolest way possible.
Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18th, and tickets are available now. To prepare for the film, fans can stream the first four Avengers movies using a Disney+ subscription.
More to come…
