Marvel can lock down scripts, but toy shelves keep leaking secrets. A new Hot Toys figure for Avengers: Doomsday appears to give away a big Thor moment that the trailers left hanging. If you’d rather go in blind, bookmark this and come back after December.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Film | Avengers: Doomsday |
| Theatrical release | December 18, 2026 |
| Villain | Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) |
| Merch source | Hot Toys figures |

What the Thor Figure Shows in Avengers?
The Hot Toys piece shows Chris Hemsworth’s Thor hovering above a destroyed Sentinel head, wielding both Stormbreaker and Mjolnir while wrapped in lightning. That seems to confirm Thor takes down at least one of Doom’s giant robots, which no trailer has shown. The product description says he “unleashes his full godly power to turn the tide of battle.”
How This Connects to the Trailers?
The teasers show Thor landing on a ruined planet to face Doctor Doom, who stops his axe with just two fingers. Doom then raises decommissioned Sentinels, the mutant-hunting robots from the X-Men universe, who advance on Thor. The trailer cuts away there, but the figure suggests Thor fights back and splits a Sentinel straight through the head.
The X-Men Join the Fight
Thor isn’t alone. Other Hot Toys figures hint at several mutants battling the same robots.
| Character | Actor | What the Figure Suggests |
|---|---|---|
| Cyclops | James Marsden | Standing amid a wrecked Sentinel head with glowing red edges, hinting at his optic blasts |
| Gambit | Channing Tatum | Slicing through a Sentinel head with his charged cards |
| Magneto | Ian McKellen | A Sentinel coming apart in pieces from his metal-bending power |
Why It Matters?
After seeing Thor easily beaten by Doom in the trailers, fans may have worried about his chances. This merch suggests he gets the upper hand against the Sentinels, though it’s unclear whether he survives the larger fight against Doom. It also hints at the first time the Avengers and X-Men fight side by side in the MCU.
Avengers: Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Patrick Stewart and Paul Rudd, among others, and sets up Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027. Remember that merchandise only shows a frozen moment, so the real scene could play out differently.
