- Marvel has unveiled a new Avengers: Doomsday trailer starring Doctor Doom
- It was shown exclusively to CinemaCon 2026 attendees
- Unhappy MCU fans want it to be released to combat AI fakes
Marvel has revealed a fresh trailer for Avengers: Doomsday — and fans are incredibly unhappy that it hasn't been released publicly.
Unveiled yesterday (April 16) during Disney's CinemaCon 2026 presentation, the new teaser includes the first footage of Robert Downey's Jr's Doctor Victor von Doom, aka the highly-anticipated movie's primary antagonist.
According to those present in the room, other highlights from the trailer include a soul-swelling reunion between Thor and Steve Rogers, Shang-Chi fighting Gambit, and Yelena Belova battling Mystique with the latter disguised as the former. Oh, and Thor attempting to strike Doom with Stormbreaker; an attack that the incredibly powerful Latverian sorcerer easily stops with one hand.

The latest look at the hugely exciting Marvel movie comes four months after the comic book giant released four bite-sized teasers for its next Avengers project. That quartet focused on Chris Evans' return as Captain America in Doomsday, Thor asking his father Odin to help him win one final battle, some menacing mutant mayhem involving the Fox-Verse's X-Men, and a team-up between the Fantastic Four and the Wakandans.
Unfortunately, the film's fifth teaser hasn't been released publicly — and Marvel has moved quickly to issue DMCA takedowns of footage from Disney's presentation that's leaked online. So, what gives?
Why can't I watch the new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday?
Unlike the aforementioned teasers, Avengers 5's latest round of footage won't be made available. That's because trailers debuted at CinemaCon are only shown exclusively to those who are lucky enough to be in attendance.
Predictably, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans have been left incredibly frustrated. Indeed, threads on Reddit and the ResetEra forums, plus social media platforms like X/Twitter, are full of comments from disgruntled individuals.
