We’ve technically gotten other trailers for Avengers: Doomsday, but the upcoming film’s latest preview is our only proper look at the biggest MCU release of the year. It’s actually somewhat surprising that Marvel released the trailer ahead of their SDCC 2026 panel, though you’ve got to imagine that they’ve got even bigger things planned for that show.

Now, we can only really guess as to whether the absence of those confirmed names was an oversight or a deliberate attempt to hide some aspect of the film that Marvel simply isn’t ready to share yet. In a couple of cases, that could be the long-awaited appearances of the characters themselves.
As a bonus, I’m also including a few of the more notable Marvel names that have been associated with Doomsday at some point but have never actually been confirmed to appear in the movie and do not appear in the new trailer.
