The first preview of Avengers: Doomsday is reportedly set to debut in theaters this December, paired with another major Disney film. Though the superhero epic will not hit cinemas until December 2026, fans may soon catch a glimpse of what’s to come.
According to Collider’s sources, the initial footage from Marvel’s next major ensemble feature will accompany Avatar: Fire and Ash. If plans remain unchanged, audiences could see Robert Downey Jr.’s new titanium-masked villain as early as December 19.
This timing aligns perfectly, with James Cameron’s third journey to Pandora scheduled almost exactly one year before Doomsday arrives on December 18, 2026. With Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps premiering this year, Marvel appears to be setting the stage for its next major crossover.
Earlier this year, fans buzzed when Marvel posted images of the cast’s set chairs, revealing a few unexpected returns, including several members of the 20th Century Fox X-Men lineup. Still, production remains tightly under wraps.
Alan Cumming, set to reprise his role as Nightcrawler, shared that he began filming even before the script was finalized.
The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday is expected to premiere alongside Avatar: Fire and Ash this December, offering fans their first preview of Marvel’s next massive ensemble film.
