Did the online leak of the teaser force the studio’s hand, or was the release of the promo focused on Chris Evans’ return to the MCU always planned to occur a year before the theatrical release of Avengers: Doomsday? The one-minute video shows Evans as Steve Rogers riding his motorcycle and arriving at a farmhouse. He holds up his Captain America suit and pauses, but we don’t see his face so it’s impossible to know what he’s thinking. Next, Steve is shown holding a baby and smiling as the teaser ends with the declaration: “Steve Rogers will return in Avengers: Doomsday.”
The first official teaser confirms the new Avengers film will open in theaters on December 18, 2026.
In addition to Chris Evans, the film also stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Robert Downey Jr (as Victor von Doom), Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Simu Liu. The cast also includes Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, and Tom Hiddleston.
Rounding out the ensemble are Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, and Pedro Pascal.
Anthony and Joe Russo return to direct and produce. The Russo Brothers are Marvel Studios’ highest-grossing directors, pulling in $6 billion at the box office with Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
