The first teaser trailer for “ Avengers: Doomsday ” has revealed that Steve Rogers, the star-spangled Avenger portrayed by Chris Evans, will return in the next Marvel team-up adventure, set to release Dec. 18, 2026. In a twist, Captain America is the father to a newborn child.

The Russo Brothers recently posted a short teaser on social media that officially kicked off the release countdown for Avengers: Doomsday. The countdown comes as fans, eager to get their first proper look at Robert Downey Jr.

The Russo Brothers released a short clip that isn't the more substantial video that should be in theaters soon.

Disney's first trailer for the December 2026 blockbuster — which first leaked online earlier this week — has now been officially released in theaters alongside the first showings of Avatar: Fire and Ash. And with this, Evans' return is now set in stone.

That reading has its compelling and troubling aspects. On one hand, it allows Doomsday to tie directly into Endgame, assuring strict continuity between both. Further, it allows the story to focus on the core team, and give Robert Downey Jr. a good reason to come back without undercutting the power of Tony’s death.

Hugh Jackman spoke about whether he will play Wolverine again in a recent interview. In the last month or so, Jackman has responded multiple times to questions about his potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Avengers: Doomsday directors Joe and Anthony Russo have posted a fresh tease for their upcoming Marvel blockbuster, exactly a year before it arrives in theaters — and featuring a countdown clock seen in the movie's apparently-leaked first trailer.

Avatar: Fire and Ash arrives in theaters this weekend, and while the third instalment in James Cameron's block-busting sci-fi saga didn't need to give audiences any additional incentive to show up, the decision to debut the first teaser trailer for Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday ahead of the movie certainly hasn't hurt anticipation.
