The trailer also teases a big confrontation between Thor and Doom. The God of Thunder is seen coming face to face with the villain before the story moves towards the next big reunion: the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, the original Captain America. Evans’ appearance marks his first major return to the MCU since Avengers: Endgame, and his reunion with Thor is positioned as one of the trailer’s biggest emotional moments.
The X-Men are also formally drawn into the crossover, with Professor Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Cyclops among the characters shown. Also included in the set is Channing Tatum’s Gambit, who appeared on the long-awaited MCU in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The trailer further brings together the Fantastic Four and the New Avengers, the team formerly known as the Thunderbolts. Characters from across the MCU are shown sharing the screen, including heroes from the Wakandan stories, Shang-Chi and the Fantastic Four. The sheer number of characters reflects the film’s central premise: heroes from different worlds and realities must unite against a threat capable of destroying everything they know.
The footage also seems to lean into the tension that comes with bringing together so many powerful groups. Instead of presenting the heroes as an instantly unified force, it focuses on the clashes and uneasy alliances between characters who have never shared the screen before. This conflict will likely be central to the film as the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four attempt to work together against Doom.
Social media reaction to the trailer
Social media reactions to the Avengers: Doomsday trailer focused on the sheer scope of the crossover, with fans particularly welcoming Thor’s apparent return to a larger role after his increasingly comedic portrayal in recent films.

Others praised Thor’s apparent position as the leader of the assembled heroes, calling him “the defacto leader of the heroes here, considering he’s the only active OG Avenger (sic). Doctor Doom’s imposing presence was another major point of discussion, with one fan writing, “Doom just doesn’t do any subtle moves and literally just stands there and aurafarms exactly what I expected (sic)”.
