UPDATE: Though we're still not certain if this leak is legit, a slightly better quality version of the clip without as many watermarks is now doing the rounds.
Rumors circulated that some Avengers: Doomsday leaks may be on the way following the unauthorized release of those Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailers, and sure enough, a full clip from the massive MCU event movie has been shared online.
The footage is pixelated and there's no sound, but as far as we can tell, this is the real deal and not an AI-generated fake.
The clip begins with Doctor Doom seemingly activating some Sentinels, as we see Thor and Steve Rogers preparing for battle. The God of Thunder calls Stormbreaker to his hand, while the former Captain America summons Mjölnir.
As the robotic terrors rise from the ground, members of the X-Men, Fantastic Four, the Thunderbolts (aka the New Avengers), and the Avengers team led by Sam Wilson assemble. The footage concludes with Cyclops unleashing an optic blast as a Sentinel fires off its devastating hand canons.
Could this just be the first of multiple leaks? Rumor has it that someone got their hands on a full trailer and some stills, so it's entirely possible.
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
"Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russos in a statement after the SDCC panel.
