The Multiverse Saga is almost over for the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, and the next two Avengers films will forever change the franchise when Phase 6 ends. With less than six months left to go before the big ensemble adventure, the marketing for the film is underway.
After showing several different teasers in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash in 2025, Marvel Studios has finally released the first full Avengers: Doomsday trailer, as the film will head into theaters in less than a year. Check out the brand new footage from the highly anticipated Phase 6 installment below:
A new synopsis also teases the following: “Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered. This epic film will lay the foundation for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. See it in Infinity Vision, the way it’s meant to be seen, on bigger, brighter and more immersive screens.”
Principal photography with the Avengers: Doomsday cast concluded on September 19, 2025, while additional filming has been happening this year. The 2026 installment will mark Anthony and Joe Russo’s fifth film that they have directed for Marvel Studios.
The brothers previously helmed Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, as well as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Captain America: Civil War. Their next upcoming MCU movie will be Avengers: Secret Wars, with filming scheduled to start this summer.
The first Avengers: Doomsday teaser that was released in December 2025 confirmed that Chris Evans will be back as Steve Rogers. However, it’s not the only time that he has appeared during The Multiverse Saga, as he also had a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, reprising his version of the Human Torch.
