Marvel drops a special look Avengers: Doomsday trailer at D23
New 'Avengers: Doomsday' footage reveals Robert Downey Jr.'s Doom unleashing an army of sentinels
At the D23 panel on Friday night, Marvel surprised the audience with new footage from the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. This exclusive look at the movie featured Sue Storm from the Fantastic Four informing the assembled Avengers that Victor Von Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., was not always the villain they face now. The trailer suggested that his transformation into the antagonist followed the loss of everything he cherished, likely including his wife and child.
The footage alternated between detailed shots of the main cast as the dramatic moment unfolded. Marvel made this announcement just as they unveiled the cast for their X-Men reboot, and the Avengers in the Doomsday clip included several key characters from the Fox-era, such as Cyclops, Professor X, and Magneto. The clip also showcased intense action, with Downey Jr.'s Doom easily deflecting a direct strike from Thor and summoning an army of Sentinels, the massive mutant-hunting robots known for their flight and energy-blast attacks.
Unfortunately, this means more challenges for the heroes in the upcoming film. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.
