After D23 this past weekend, Disney has released photos from the trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday. Not much else has been given for the movie which opens in theaters on December 18, 2026. But we do know that this movie takes place 14 months after the events that happened in 2025’s Thunderbolts movie. The movie will be packed with characters from different Marvel universes: Earth 616 (The Avengers, Wakandans and New Avengers), Earth 828 (Fantastic Four) and the X-Men arrive from yet another one. All Disney is saying at this point is “Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.”

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D’ Esposito and Jonathan Schwartz, Avengers: Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Wyatt Russell, Channing Tatum, Simu Liu, Ian McKellen, Tom Hiddleston, James Marsden, Patrick Stewart, Joseph Quinn, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Letitia Wright, Lewis Pullman, Kelsey Grammer, Kathryn Newton, Danny Ramirez, Winston Duke, Alan Cumming, Hannah John-Kamen, Rebecca Romijn, Mabel Cadena, with Tenoch Huerta Mejia. However, there are rumors that more names will be added to the list in the coming months.

Here are the photos from the new teaser trailer. The images are dark and colors are muted.

RECENT MOVIE REVIEWS

Matt Damon in "The Odyssey"
Matt Damon is Odysseus (Matt Damon) in The Odyssey. (Universal Pictures)

The Odyssey is an action/adventure film, this is true, but it is also emotional theater. There is a feeling of dread from the first moment the movie begins. The dread doesn’t let up until just before the credits roll. It is as enjoyable as it is sobering.

Tom Holland as Spider Man contemplates in front of his computer in Spider-Man Brand New Day
Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) (Jay Maidment/Columbia Pictures)

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the best of all the movies that came before it. It still has plenty of action (the scenes that feature “The Hand” are especially cool), but it doesn’t dominate the story or go into eyeroll territory during the climax that so many other superhero movies do.

Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway in "The End of Oak Street"
Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway in The End of Oak Street (Warner Bros.)

The End of Oak Street is similar to Jurassic Park but without all of the science-y stuff. It’s like the a “B” movie from the 1950s but with a bigger budget. It’s full of jump scares, humor and heart. It’s the perfect popcorn movie of the summer.

Milly Alcock and Matthias Schoenaerts in "Supergirl"
Milly Alcock and Matthias Schoenaerts in Supergirl. (Warner Bros.)

Parents wanting to take their little girls to see Supergirl to enjoy some “girl power” should think again. Maybe the next one, but in this PG-13 film, Kara is hardly a role model. Not only that, but Supergirl is quite violent and intense.
