When Is The ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Trailer Coming Out? Here’s the Release Schedule

The upcoming trailer for *Avengers: Doomsday* is generating significant buzz, as it represents one of Marvel's biggest releases since 2019's *Avengers: Endgame*. The rollout strategy Disney employs is also of high interest.

Recent reports suggest the trailer's debut is linked to James Cameron's new *Avatar* film, *Avatar: Fire and Ash*, which arrives in theaters this week. This could mean fans will get their first glimpse of the MCU blockbuster very soon, marking the end of what feels like a long wait for a new Avengers installment.

That said, the reality is a bit more complicated. as is common with major releases, leaks are a possibility. A trailer reportedly surfaced briefly on social media on December 15th, before being removed due to copyright issues. *USA Today* noted there are questions regarding the authenticity of the footage, with some speculating it may be AI-generated.

When Is The *Avengers: Doomsday* Trailer Officially Coming Out?

The initial *Avengers: Doomsday* trailer is expected to be shown during the trailer previews for *Avatar: Fire and Ash*. That film is scheduled to open in theaters on Friday, December 19, 2025, with early previews beginning on Thursday, December 18, 2025.

According to *The Hollywood Reporter's* Heat Vision newsletter, sources indicate the trailer will have a unique rollout, intended to encourage Marvel fans to see *Avatar: Fire and Ash* multiple times. The strategy involves Disney distributing four different trailers to theaters for the film. Each trailer will be shown for one week, beginning each Thursday, before the next one is released. Therefore, those seeing *Fire and Ash* during its opening weekend will view the first trailer, while those attending during the second week will see the second trailer. This pattern will continue for the third and fourth weeks. *The Hollywood Reporter's* request for comment from Marvel regarding this rollout strategy went unanswered.

The release plan for those not attending screenings remains unclear, though it will likely occur after the trailers' exclusive theatrical windows. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
