The fourth teaser for Avengers: Doomsday has officially surfaced online, offering a breathtaking glimpse into a multiverse under siege. Following its debut during screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash, the trailer shifts the focus to a pivotal alliance: the meeting between Marvel’s First Family and the technologically advanced nation of Wakanda.
The teaser opens with a heavy, atmospheric narration from Shuri (Letitia Wright). Reflecting on the profound loss of her brother and mother, she acknowledges the weight of her crown as the Black Panther. However, the somber tone is punctuated by a moment of levity that signals the arrival of the Fantastic Four into the primary MCU timeline. Ben Grimm, aka The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), makes his first contact with a legacy hero, introducing himself to M’Baku (Winston Duke) with his trademark New York grit. Confirming M’Baku’s ascension to the throne, the exchange bridges the gap between the Fantastic Four’s retro-future 1960s reality and the modern Wakandan kingdom.
The threat of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom appears to be forcing once-bitter enemies into an uneasy truce. Namor (Tenoch Huerta) returns in a sleek, comic-accurate black suit, suggesting that the kingdom of Talokan will fight alongside Wakanda to protect the multiverse. With a massive ensemble featuring the casts of Thunderbolts, the X-Men, and the core Avengers, Doomsday is shaping up to be a cinematic event of unprecedented scale.
