Marvel's most anticipated film "Avengers: Doomsday" (directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo, distributed by The Walt Disney Company Korea) has captured the attention of fans around the world as soon as its trailer was released.
Touted as the biggest event movie to close out 2026 at theaters worldwide and promising a global phenomenon, "Avengers: Doomsday" has electrified attention worldwide by unveiling the "Doom's descent" poster and the "Doom's judgment" trailer.
The released poster features Doctor Doom draped in a dark cloak against a green stained-glass window background, projecting a powerful aura. A masked face and a massive silhouette combine to create an intimidating presence that adds tension as if announcing the arrival of a new ultimate evil. In particular, the mysterious and eerie visuals centered on green provoke curiosity about Doctor Doom's power and hidden backstory, amplifying interest in the fate that will be shaken by his appearance.
The released "Doom's judgment" trailer begins with Susan Storm (Vanessa Kirby) saying, "Victor was the smartest person in any room," recounting Victor's past. The line "He was different then. Kind, gentle," implies he was once an ordinary person and draws attention. Meanwhile, the addition of "After losing everything he loved, he lost his way" abruptly changes the mood and raises questions about what incident transformed him into his current existence.
Then Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), seeming incredulous, asks, "Victor, did you do this?" and Doom responds with a chilling warning, "You have been surviving by stealing someone else's life. Now it's time to give it back." The trailer then shows moments where Scott (Paul Rudd), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Shuri (Letitia Wright), Cyclops (Scott Summers) and others living in different worlds experience intersecting everyday life and fear, foreshadowing the ominous crisis they face.
As the tension rises to a peak, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) confronts Doom grimly, saying, "I would rather beg you to send me to hell," and Doom effortlessly overpowers Thor's attack, saying, "Even hell obeys me." Announcing the birth of an absolute evil with power unlike any enemy, Doom ultimately declares, "I am Doom," and massive forces of darkness appear behind him as the trailer ends. Questions peak about what Victor lost to become Doom, who the targets of his "judgment" are, and whether the heroes assembled before him can stand against Doom's threat, heightening anticipation for the veiled narrative and the overwhelming confrontations to come. Avengers: Doomsday is directed by the Russo brothers, who helmed all previous Avengers films, enhancing its quality and credibility. Legendary actor Robert Downey Jr., who wrote Marvel history with Iron Man, takes on the role of Doctor Doom, generating worldwide reaction. Joining him are Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Pedro Pascal, Tom Hiddleston, Vanessa Kirby, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, Paul Rudd, Letitia Wright, Simu Liu, Channing Tatum, Ian McKellen, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Patrick Stewart, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Hayley Atwell, Catherine Newton, completing a casting lineup that encompasses the MCU and drawing worldwide anticipation. At the end of 2026, the Marvel blockbuster "Avengers: Doomsday," which will herald the largest war in MCU history, is scheduled to open in theaters in December 2026.
Meanwhile, Marvel's anticipated film "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is approaching 7 million admissions domestically, and it has smashed expectations by easily surpassing global box office revenue of $1,665,000,000 (about 2.3578 trillion won). It sent the hearts of domestic Marvel fans racing, and attention is focused on what kind of entertainment "Avengers: Doomsday" will deliver.
