Marvel Studios released fresh footage from ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ publicly on Friday evening, following a screening at D23. The material, which was previously shown at San Diego Comic-Con the prior month, prominently features Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Doctor Doom. This marks Downey’s first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since his character’s conclusion in ‘Avengers: Endgame.’
The film, directed by the Russo Brothers, assembles an expansive roster of actors spanning multiple eras of Marvel adaptations and MCU projects. The cast includes veterans from the original 2000s X-Men franchise such as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, original Avengers ensemble members including Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, and performers from recent MCU installments including Simu Liu, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn from ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps.’ Additional cast members span from ‘Black Panther’ to the ‘Thunderbolts’ film and the ‘Ant-Man’ series.
During the presentation, Hugh Jackman appeared in a taped segment alongside the character Deadpool, with the exchange centered on potential involvement in the project. This exchange references Ryan Reynolds’ prior appearance at Comic-Con, where he made an in-character pitch for inclusion in the upcoming film.
Marvel has gradually unveiled promotional material for the feature over several months. Character-focused teasers were distributed in late 2025 and early 2026, followed by a trailer release in July. The film is scheduled for release on Dec. 18.
