Marvel has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming film 'Avengers Doomsday' at the D23 2026 event, offering fans a glimpse into the challenges heroes will face against the primary antagonist, Dr. Doom. Robert Downey Jr. is set to portray the iconic villain.

Previous teasers had already hinted at the expansive roster for this multiversal battle, including the original X-Men lineup with Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Ian McKellen as Magneto, the latest Fantastic Four led by Reed Richards, and the "new Avengers" team, the Thunderbolts. The new trailer confirms the return of Chris Evans as Captain America and Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

However, the most significant revelation is Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Dr. Doom. The trailer provides a full look at the character's appearance, hinting at the immense power he wields and his primary motivation. Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four, explains Doom's backstory: "He was stripped of everything he loved," suggesting a profound personal loss fuels his corruption.

The trailer also features a tense exchange where Reed Richards, or Mr. Fantastic, confronts Doom amidst collapsing universes, asking, "Did you do this?" This interaction hints at a central conflict between two of Marvel's most brilliant minds. Furthermore, a brief scene shows Thor being easily defeated by Doom, a display of power seemingly exceeding that shown by Thanos in previous films. The trailer concludes with Doom resurrecting the colossal Sentinels, poised to serve as his primary army against the heroes, who may find an ally in Jean Grey, hinted at by her appearance in the recent 'Spiderman: Brand New Day' film.
