Chris Evans returns as Captain America, Marvel drops first Avengers: Doomsday teaser

Marvel releases first teaser for 'Avengers: Doomsday,' confirming Chris Evans's return as Steve Rogers/Captain America, with Robert Downey Jr. set to play Doctor Doom.

"The character that changed our lives. The story that brought us all here together. It was always going to come back to this... - The Russo Brothers / Directors"

Los Angeles, December 23

Marvel fans have a big reason to cheer as the first teaser of "Avengers: Doomsday" has been released.

Marvel Entertainment, on Tuesday, dropped a teaser on its YouTube channel, confirming the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America.

The teaser was first shown in theatres along with James Cameron's film "Avatar: Fire and Ash." Later, it was shared online for fans around the world.

The short teaser shows Steve Rogers on a quiet farm. He is seen riding a motorcycle towards his home as a soft piano version of the Avengers theme plays. Steve wears a blue helmet that reminds fans of his Captain America suit. In one scene, he is seen holding a newborn baby. The teaser ends with the line "Steve Rogers will return for Avengers: Doomsday." A countdown timer also appears, marking one year until the film's release.

The Russo Brothers, who are directing the film, shared the teaser on Instagram. Along with it, they wrote, "The character that changed our lives. The story that brought us all here together. It was always going to come back to this..."

Marvel also released the film's first poster. The poster is green in colour and hints at the presence of Doctor Doom, one of Marvel's most famous villains.

This is not the first time Chris Evans returned to the Marvel world after "Avengers: Endgame." According to Variety, in 2024, he appeared briefly as Human Torch in "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Chris Evans is not the only original Avenger coming back. Robert Downey Jr. will also return, but this time he will play Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man. Other actors returning include Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddleston, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and many more.

Actors from the X-Men series like Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, and Rebecca Romijn will also be part of the film.

"Avengers: Doomsday" is set to release in theatres on December 18, 2026.

Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom? That's a massive and risky casting choice. I hope it doesn't feel like Iron Man in a mask. The rest of the cast looks incredible though, especially bringing in the X-Men.

So excited! But I have a small criticism - I hope the story is fresh and not just nostalgia-bait. The MCU needs a strong comeback in India after some recent flops. Fingers crossed the Russo Brothers deliver another epic. 🤞

The green poster definitely screams Doctor Doom. This is huge for comic fans. But with so many characters returning, I hope the film doesn't get overcrowded. Quality over quantity, please.

Yaar, the teaser is pure emotion. Steve Rogers holding a baby... is that his kid with Peggy? Time-travel logic in the MCU is always confusing, but I'm here for the feels. Day one booking for sure!

Interesting to see them merge the Avengers and X-Men universes finally. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen sharing the screen with the Avengers is a dream come true for many of us who grew up with those films.
