Marvel just dropped the first full trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday,” and buried underneath the spectacle is a goldmine of comic references, callbacks, and quiet character moments. Chris Hemsworth’s Thor ends up carrying much of the emotional weight — but he’s far from the only Easter egg worth catching.
Avengers: Doomsday- The Biggest Details, Ranked
| Detail | What It References |
|---|---|
| Three colliding globes at Avengers Tower | Marvel Comics incursion panels (Earth-616, Earth-828, X-Men universe) |
| Doom’s accent | First MCU nod to his Latverian comic origins |
| Thor aiming Stormbreaker at Doom’s head | Correcting his fatal Infinity War mistake |
| Doom catching Stormbreaker bare-handed | Echoes the weapon that killed Thanos |
| Steve Rogers’s long hair and beard | Recreates his Infinity War Edinburgh entrance |
| Steve lifting the new Mjolnir | Belongs to Thor’s daughter, Love, not the Endgame timeline copy |
Thor Carries the Emotional Core
Chris Hemsworth’s Thor isn’t just present in the trailer — he’s practically the anchor. Where his recent films leaned into comic relief, this version looks noticeably harder-edged, sporting the shorter hair from his “Ragnarok” era and a far more serious demeanor. His prayer to Odin, asking for strength to fight one final enemy and return home to his daughter Love, gives the footage its emotional center. Notably, Love is nowhere to be seen during that moment, hinting she may be missing, in danger, or somehow tied to the larger threat Doom represents.
The trailer’s standout sequence has Thor swinging Stormbreaker directly at Doom’s face — a deliberate correction of his infamous decision in “Infinity War” to strike Thanos anywhere but the head. Doom’s response is even more unsettling: he stops the blow using nothing but his fingertips, the same weapon that once ended Thanos.
Steve Rogers, Loki, and the Multiverse Connect the Dots
Chris Evans returns as Steve Rogers with long hair and a beard, mirroring his dramatic reappearance in “Infinity War.” Later, he’s shown lifting Mjolnir once more — but this hammer reportedly belongs to Love rather than the timeline-displaced version he once wielded against Thanos. Elsewhere, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is glimpsed holding a TVA badge redesigned with a multiversal tree, subtly linking his Disney+ storyline directly to the events of “Doomsday.”
The First Family and Mutants Join the Fight
Beyond the Avengers, the trailer folds in Namor splitting the ocean floor while Sue Storm holds back the resulting wall of water, along with comic-accurate looks for Cassie Lang and Mystique — signaling just how large this crossover event is shaping up to be.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18, 2026.
