Note: This article contains potential spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday.

The costume test leaks of Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday are now being confirmed as real, as Marvel Studios is taking down all of the images.

Last December, the Avengers: Doomsday promotional materials were leaked, including Doctor Doom, Thor, Gambit, Sentry, Magneto, Winter Soldier, and the Fantastic Four. Now, Marvel Studios is issuing DMCA takedowns against the leaked promotional photos.

It is reported that the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday will be released in May 2026. Recently, the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday was shown at CinemaCon. It featured Thor fighting Doctor Doom and reuniting with Steve Rogers, Professor X witnessing an incursion, Mystique transforming into Yelena, and a fight sequence between Shang-Chi and Gambit.

According to Joe Russo, the upcoming re-release of Avengers: Endgame includes new footage set within the Doomsday story.

“It’s an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way, and because the movie was so successful, we have an opportunity to re-release it,” he continued, calling it a “critical companion story” and a “setup for what you’re going to watch in December when you see Avengers: Doomsday.”

Here’s the new synopsis for Avengers: Doomsday from Walt Disney Studios:

“Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.”
