The first of four (reportedly) teasers for Avengers: Doomsday leaked online yesterday, confirming the long-rumoured return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. We had heard that the second teaser may not be too far behind, and the full audio has now indeed found its way on to social media.
If you'd rather know as little as possible about this trailer until you see the official version in the theatre with Avatar: Fire and Ash, beware of spoilers from this point on.
As previously reported, this second trailer focuses on Thor (Chris Hemsworth), who we find praying to his late father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) in the forest.
"Of all the crowns, the kingdoms, the pride, I ask for none. Father, hear your son. I am not worthy of life, but still I beg you to let the thread lengthen. Not for thunder, not for war… let me remain long enough to see my love once more."
There are some images doing the rounds, but they all appear to be AI. For now, it looks like only the audio has leaked.
We also have the second part of the leaked Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer, which does appear to be the real deal.
Though the quality is pretty lousy, you should be able to make out some shots of Spidey (Tom Holland) web-slinging into action, Peter Parker asking Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) for help, and a final exchange between the web-head and Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal).
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were recently hit with significant delays, 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.
