Avengers: Doomsday leaked trailer reveals a HUGE character is BACK

A teaser clip from Avengers: Doomsday has been leaked online and shows the return of a huge character that had effectively left the franchise. The film's release is still a year away, but promotions will start soon. One trailer has now reached the internet, not officially. Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr plays the villain in this film, something that was revealed long ago. However, the leaked trailer shows a popular character's return. Notably, the film's official trailers are set to be shown before Avatar: Fire and Ash in theatres. Several X posts where people claimed to have posted the leaked teaser showed the clips had been removed due to copyright infringement. While the clip that was available till some time back seems real, it wouldn't be a surprise if it turns out to be an AI-generated video. (Spoilers ahead).

Avengers: Doomsday - Spoilers Ahead

If you want to wait for the real thing to hit the screens to know who this character is, then turn back here. According to the clip doing the rounds online, Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, is also in Avengers: Doomsday. The clip shows the character riding a motorcycle and entering their home. The person picks up their old superhero costume, and we soon see that it is none other than former Captain America Steve Rogers. A caption reads, "Steve Rogers will return in Avengers: Doomsday."

If the leaked clip is indeed real, then this marks the return of one of the most popular characters of the Avengers franchise. Rogers' storyline ended with Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and Anthony Mackie, who played Sam Wilson, became the new Captain America and was seen in the film Brave New World. Evans has repeatedly denied that he is part of Avengers: Doomsday. He previously told ScreenRant that he is “sad to be away” from his former co-stars. However, it seems that Evans isn't returning as Captain America as the clip shows him holding a baby, and showing hesitance to join the crew. This means that Mackie will be shown as Captain America.

Reports suggest that there will be three Avengers: Doomsday teasers, and then a full trailer showing the mammoth star cast. It includes new characters from the recent Fantastic 4 film, and Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn and James Marsden from the X-Men series. The Russo brothers, directors of the film, say that the new film is “bigger than anything we have ever done”. Avengers: Doomsday is slated to hit theatres on 18 December 2026.
