Avengers: Doomsday "Exploding" On Box Office Tracking; Tom Holland Teases Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Avengers: Doomsday is already generating box office buzz ahead of its December release, while Tom Holland has said that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is his favourite Spidey movie to date.

CinemaCon begins on April 13 in Las Vegas, and The Hollywood Reporter has now shared some hints about what we can expect from the event. The trailers shown in Sin City aren't always released online, but we do frequently get descriptions and reactions from early screenings.

Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros., Amazon MGM, and Neon are attending. The trade believes that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will get a new sneak peek, with Tom Holland and Zendaya on hand for both that and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

DC Studios will bring Supergirl to the event, while The Mandalorian and Grogu, Disclosure Day, and Toy Story 5 are among the other big 2026 releases likely to be showcased. 

A new Avengers: Doomsday preview is also planned for CinemaCon, and the trade points out that "now would be an opportune time to demonstrate that the film will deliver. Sources say Doomsday is exploding on long-lead tracking." 

In other words, over 8 months before it arrives in theaters, all signs are pointing to the next Avengers movie being one of 2026's biggest box office hits. 

Back to the MCU's web-slinger, and Tom Holland has announced a charity sweepstake for the opportunity to attend the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere in Hollywood this summer. 

"I have to say I'm so proud of the movie," the actor says in the video below. "I sound biased, but I think it's my favourite one. Jon Bernthal is amazing, Zendaya is amazing, and Jacob Batalon is amazing. Everyone in the movie is absolutely fantastic. So I'm super proud of it. I can't wait to share it with you."

Holland's excitement for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is palpable, and it's clear the actor is proud of what they've come up with. Like Avengers: Doomsday, the level of hype it's generating feels akin to how the majority of MCU movies were received pre-pandemic during the Infinity Saga.

You can hear more from the Peter Parker actor in the video below.

Avengers: Doomsday officially stars Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Mabel Cadena, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Lewis Pullman, and India Rose Hemsworth all make their Avengers franchise debuts.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn join them, as do X-Men franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, with Deadpool & Wolverine star Channing Tatum. The trades have pointed to Ryan Reynolds and Hayley Atwell also appearing in Avengers: Doomsday.

The Russo Brothers direct Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the Avengers and Captain America franchises. Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's Michael Waldron has also been enlisted to help.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

@Rpendo -

Avengers: $1.520bn - Adjusted for inflation is $2.214bn
AoU: $1.405bn - Adjusted for inflation is $1.983bn
Infinity: $2.052bn - Adjusted for inflation is $2.733bn
Endgame: $2.799bn - Adjusted for inflation is $3.671bn


A $1.7bn box office would be the lowest grossing Avengers movie if inflation is factored in. Ignoring inflation it'd be slap in the middle of the box office, 3rd out of 5 Avengers movies.

Personally I think it'll be a typical strong Marvel opening and then word of mouth will determine how bad the second week drop is. I could see it going either way, if it's viewed as a send-off then perhaps people will come back to check it out, but I could also see people just going "I don't care about these characters" and not watching.

I expect Spider-man: Brand New Day could perform better, even though it admittedly will not have the draw of Sony Spider-man Nostalgia. Though admittedly conversation on both Spider-man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday is a lot less than it should be for either of these to be juggernauts.

@Scarilian - BND is definitely going to make more money than Doomsday. No one cares about the Thundershits, this version of F4, the new Avengers, and a geriatric X-Men

@Rpendo - with no imax screens? Might be difficult. Avatar 3 hit 1.4B with all those imax theaters abd with no competition like Dune 3.

Im guessing around Avatr 3 BO (1.4) and with 1B just getting even (might be hifher with reshoots and all) it will be a small win or just break even

@Fogs - the joke got old years ago, man.

Saying the same thing, over and over, every day, for years, regardless how amusing it was the first few times, isn’t funny. It’s lame.

@vectorsigma - again , the same stupid shit, multiple times a day, every day, for years, isn’t funny, it’s pathologically stupid at bedtime, old and unfunny at worst.

It’s “at worst.”
Rpendo
Rpendo - 4/11/2026, 1:45 PM
@vectorsigma - no way. RDJ and Chris Evans coming back alone is going to get butts in seats. X-men vs Avengers? Yeah, people are coming out for this.

Unless the movie is utterly unwatchable, 1.7 on the lowest possible end. If I had to legit guess right now, I’d say 1.9 billion-2.1 billion.

1.4 billion is ludicrous.

We used to wait for the premiere for this kind of talk, but i guess everything is hyperbole these days.

Unnamed sources about a movie that would have to be horrendous to not make stupid money. Really going out on a limb there, THR.
Gambito
Gambito - 4/10/2026, 2:39 PM
What I’m very interested is in how much did doomsday actually cost. Aside from downey’s payday and all the ensamble cast, the usual costs of production which nowadays are inflated, reshoots, the russos increased salary plus the development costs including the kang dinasty version plus royalties I mean this movie is easily gonna be the most expensive of all time or top 5. 2 billion dollar gross is the bare minimum this movie must make
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 4/10/2026, 9:03 PM
@Gambito - im being lenient with just 1B break even. But i am now leaning towards that.

bobevanz - 4/10/2026, 2:45 PM
It'd be so funny if Toy Story 5 beats Doomsday. I just want a good movie. So far I haven't loved ANY of the phase 4/5 movies. Luckily the box office is giving plenty of non CBM's to satisfy the masses. Stop phoning it in. Let the creative people cook. The suits are suits. Plain and simple. Look how much those Ant-Man movies made. Once the end goal was established as thanos, it was basically easy money until they got to that point, but the problem is they didn't realize what to do after that

With Xmen sprinkled in, I'll do well. And the comics it's based on is good. It's break endgame record

Of course it will be the biggest movie of the year.

@marvel72 - maybe? but don't forget about Spider-man Brand New Day! That could legitimately outpace Avengers 5. Spidey fans are absolutely insane.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 4/10/2026, 3:23 PM
I mean , Doomsday exploding apparently in tracking already makes sense since it’s one of the biggest films of the year so this isn’t necessarily surprising though saying it needs to show that it will deliver is odd because no shit they’ll try to do that…

Also speaking of BND and The Odyssey , I forgot Jon Bernthal is in both opposite Holland which is cool to see since they eached helped the other via their auditions/screen tests to get their Marvel roles.

If he thinks his misses and the guy that plays ‘Ned’ are amazing he really has no concept of what Spider-Man’s supporting cast are supposed to be like, and therefore no respect for the source material.
Hobmoblin
Hobmoblin - 4/10/2026, 3:57 PM
But will it make as much as the last two? Or at least on par? I hope because if this fails the whole genre will get less entries.

Oh??????????!!!!!! Is this true?????

But… but… the sensitive girls of this community have been telling us for a LONG while now that this movie is going to bomb. And… bomb HARD, too. I guess they’re still getting over being wrong about Avatar 3 LOL.

Won't hit 1 billion sorry folks but accept the truth.

It has Dune going up against it that weekend. It's the conclusion of a 3 part saga. Believe it or not, many people are excited to see how it all ends.

Which one will have legs though?

This will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

Join the movement.

@Nolanite - Even if you don't like the quality of the MCU, every sentient human will be seeing this. I'm a huge Dune fan but Dune will not slow this one down.

Sadly, while I defended the last Superman mostly, DC looks like its barely putzing along. Marvel is such a massive machine that its like, even with the loads of garbage media from them over the past 7 years, they also still have had some winners amidst that pile and are still poised to dominate for a long, long time. Especially if Spidey and Avengers this year play well...
Nolanite
Nolanite - 4/10/2026, 7:54 PM
@Lucasberg -

If I can recall, Marvel also struggled at the beginning which is what is happening with DC. So far they are heading in the right direction.

But you can't deny that Dune will take a big chunk of the earnings for Doomsday. It will all depend on how the general public reacts to BND which I am sure will be a success.

Have no fear, the DC Alliance is unstoppable and just you wait until the ball gets rolling. Looking forward to Supergirl Lanterns and then Clayface this year.

Join the DC Alliance and then you too can be at the top with all of us.

@Nolanite - this dudes gimmick will be as follows.

It wont do a billion even though everyone knows it will and so does he but gotta ride the gimmick.

Then it will be oh but it didnt do 2 billion. Now maybe it wont, maybe it just gets it there

Then its oh but it didnt pass Endgame and become the biggest movie of all time so therefore its a flop and Marvel sucks.
