Robert Downey Jr. Agreed To Star In Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday Under One Condition
Marvel launches a multi-trailer theatrical rollout with Chris Evans reprising Steve Rogers, hinting at a major spoiler linked to incursions and the Dr. Doom arc, fans say.
- Marvel Studios unveiled the first of four exclusive theatrical trailers for Avengers: Doomsday, revealing Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers.
- In comic lore, incursions let Doctor Doom build his Battleworld, and some fans theorize Rogers' past trip caused an incursion colliding timelines in the MCU.
- USA Today reported outlets first revealed Evans' involvement in December 2024, confirmed when the teaser clip played before Avatar: Fire and Ash showing Steve Rogers cradling a newborn.
- The studio's theatrical-first rollout aims to maximize hype, but critics warn the teaser's mere existence could spoil a major Doomsday plot point for moviegoers.
- Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to premiere on December 18, 2026, with Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts appearing; Avengers: Secret Wars follows next year.
