Disney’s annual D23 celebration kicked off with news, announcements, and exciting reveals for the studio’s upcoming slate of anticipated projects. With fans gathered in Anaheim and entertainment outlets reporting directly from the floor, Marvel Studios went big while promoting its next major event film, Avengers: Doomsday.
Special Look Highlights Victor Von Doom
As anticipated, Marvel Studios shared a fresh look at Avengers: Doomsday during the evening presentation, showcasing new footage focused entirely on Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor Von Doom.
The Special Look centers on Susan Storm Richards (Vanessa Kirby) as she delivers a grave warning about the existential threat Doom poses to their universe. Because Sue and other members of the Fantastic Four know Victor better than anyone, her emotional reaction—and the visible fear in her eyes as she describes how the world broke her former friend—delivers the kind of high-stakes character drama Marvel fans expect from an event film.
New Poster Unveiled Ahead of December Release
To build anticipation ahead of the presentation, Marvel unveiled a sleek new teaser poster featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. The artwork depicts the iconic villain standing before green-tinted stained glass as he contemplates his next move, staring through his iron mask while imagining the world within his grip.
The film is set to open in theaters on December 18.
Pre-Orders and Advance Ticket Sales Open
In addition to debuting the new footage and poster, Marvel Studios officially opened advance ticket sales for Avengers: Doomsday. Given the high demand expected for opening weekend screenings, early pre-orders are highly recommended for moviegoers planning to catch the film during its initial rollout.
