On the 20th (local time), the movie "Avengers: Doomsday" unveiled its teaser trailer, drawing massive attention by fully revealing the veiled "Doctor Doom" (Robert Downey Jr.).
Amid an explosive response from fans worldwide immediately following its release, U.S. entertainment outlet Variety reported that the trailer achieved a staggering feat of surpassing 503 million views within 24 hours of release. This is a new record making it the most-watched trailer in Disney history on its first day of release, far surpassing the 365 million views recorded by "Deadpool & Wolverine." Following the cumulative views of four previously released trailers also surpassing 1 billion, it has once again proven the hot global interest.
In addition, "Avengers: Doomsday," which opened advance ticket sales in some North American theaters alongside the release of the teaser trailer, demonstrated explosive box office fever by recording $16.5 million in ticket sales on the very first day of reservations alone. This figure more than doubled the first-day advance ticket sales of "Deadpool & Wolverine," which recorded a $211 million North American opening.
At San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) held on the 25th (local time), a new "Avengers: Doomsday" poster was unveiled, further heightening curiosity about the project. The new poster instantly captured attention by featuring "Doctor Doom" walking forward enveloped in deep darkness and fog. His heavy suit, massive cape, and mask emerging from between the shadows exude an intense and threatening presence like never before, raising expectations to their absolute peak by foreshadowing the prelude to a massive war that will unfold.
"Avengers: Doomsday" enhances its quality and reliability as the Russo brothers, who directed all previous installments of the "Avengers" series, take the megaphone. Furthermore, legendary actor Robert Downey Jr., who wrote Marvel history with "Iron Man," is creating a global sensation by taking on the role of "Doctor Doom."
On top of this, it has completed a casting lineup encompassing the entire MCU—including Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Tom Hiddleston, Vanessa Kirby, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Paul Rudd, Letitia Wright, Simu Liu, Channing Tatum, Ian McKellen, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Patrick Stewart, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Hayley Atwell, and Kathryn Newton—drawing fervent expectations from around the world.
"Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled for theatrical release in December 2026.
