Disney’s Destination D23 just served as the first real peek at Avengers: Doomsday, and it arrived as a cheeky on-set video from directors Joe and Anthony Russo that Paul Rudd absolutely crashed. Attendees saw a brief clip that showed Joe and Anthony Russo with Rudd, where the latter reaches out towards the camera, saying, "I don't have my contacts," as the audience laughs.
Consider it a tone-setter rather than a trailer, a quick vibe check that confirms the Russos are deep in production and that Rudd is back in the mix. If you were hoping for plot reveals or cameos, keep that popcorn on standby. If you wanted proof that Avengers: Doomsday is rolling and the team’s sense of humor is intact, this is it.
The D23 Expo gave fans quite a lot of sneak peeks from the film, with appearances from stars, messages from the Russos, and a look into what's in store for fans. As one of the most important films on the upcoming radar for Marvel, Avengers: Doomsday has everyone's attention, and if the large-scale atmosphere from the expo is any indication, this one's going to be quite a ride.
More details about Avengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Doomsday is the cinematic equivalent of throwing every piece on the board into one colossal, chaotic endgame and daring audiences to keep up. Hitting theaters on December 18, 2026, the film reunites the Russo brothers with the MCU, a pairing fans have been begging for since the dust settled on Avengers: Endgame. But this time, the stakes aren’t about Infinity Stones or snapping half the universe; it’s about facing a new god-tier threat in Victor von Doom, embodied by Robert Downey Jr. in a twist no one saw coming.
And the cast list is full of the stuff of crossover fever dreams. Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, legends, and rookies colliding like atoms in one single grand event. Joining Downey are some of the biggest names in the MCU, including Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum and Pedro Pascal and more.
