The 30-second spot also shows Doctor Doom, Professor X and an awkward room with three Captain Americas, ahead of the December 18 release.

The Lowdown

The joke about three Captain Americas in one room is the most Avengers moment any Doomsday footage has had. If the film can balance the Doom-level stakes with that kind of team banter, Marvel finally has its event movie back.

  • A new Avengers: Doomsday trailer dropped on October 24 (Polygon).
  • It opens with Steve Rogers summoning Mjolnir from Thor’s hand (Polygon).

The Story

Steve Rogers is worthy again. The latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer, released October 24, opens with Rogers summoning Mjolnir out of Thor’s hand, a moment Polygon suggests may be to prove he’s the real Steve Rogers (Polygon).

It’s short, about 30 seconds, but mostly new footage. Doctor Doom fights, Professor X watches what looks like another world being destroyed, and Invisible Woman and The Thing meet M’Baku and Black Panther (Polygon).

The funniest bit has Ant-Man calling Steve “Captain America,” then stumbling over the fact that Sam Wilson and John Walker, who have both carried the shield, are standing right there (Polygon).

Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, the same day as Dune: Part Three (Ars Technica).
