Marvel shows Avengers: Doomsday preview during World Series

Marvel released a new preview of the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday during Game 1 of the 2026 World Series. ComicBook.com reported that the clip opens with the Fantastic Four on Earth 828 throwing the first pitch, with real MLB players reacting. The same report says a later segment shows Thor and Steve Rogers talking in what looks like New Avengers Tower, hinting that the former Captain America can still wield Mjölnir. Slashfilm.com notes that Ant‑Man awkwardly calls Steve “Cap” before correcting himself, and that Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm play baseball before an unknown interruption.

ComicBook.com says that pairing the teaser with a major sports broadcast underscores Marvel’s push to keep the film front‑of‑mind as its December 18 release nears. Slashfilm.com reports that the studio set a record for pre‑sales, topping $50 million a hundred days before the premiere, and that it has been rolling out teaser trailers emphasizing the movie’s apocalyptic stakes.
