Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday Teaser Strategy Is Clearly Working

Marvel Studios' theater-first campaign drove over 1 billion organic views across Instagram and TikTok, marking record-breaking social engagement for Avengers: Doomsday teasers.

  • Recently, Marvel Studios' four Avengers: Doomsday teasers surpassed over 1 billion online views, with The Hollywood Reporter saying insiders put the total at 1 billion.
  • Marvel Studios coordinated a theater-first rollout, releasing four teasers weekly in mid-December before online debuts to offer theaters exclusives ahead of the Dec. 18 release.
  • Instagram accounted for over 500 million views while TikTok added over 100 million, setting platform records for Marvel; YouTube lagged with about 60 million views, and pirated recordings helped spread the teasers early.
  • Marvel says the teasers succeeded despite not showing Downey, and insiders say the experiment paid off by sparking widespread conversation about the film.
  • After the first trailer hit online Dec. 23, insiders report social volume rose about 188 percent versus a typical Marvel drop, outstripping past launches like Deadpool & Wolverine's 60 million.
