The fourth and final teaser for Avengers Doomsday was released on January 13, 2026, placing its focus squarely on Wakanda and the long-anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four. The new footage positions the technologically advanced nation as a central battleground, while confirming that characters from multiple universes are now converging within the primary Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. The teaser continues Marvel’s staggered marketing approach while offering the clearest sense yet of where the story is headed.
The trailer opens on a subdued and tense Wakanda, where Shuri, portrayed by Letitia Wright, and King M’Baku, played by Winston Duke, are shown preparing for what is described as a global-level threat. They are joined by Namor, portrayed by Tenoch Huerta, whose underwater kingdom of Talokan appears to have been catastrophically drained of its waters. The visual framing suggests heavy losses and a shared urgency, reinforcing the idea that Wakanda is being positioned as the first line of resistance against the approaching Doomsday event.
The most significant reveal comes with the appearance of The Thing, played by Ebon Moss Bachrach. His meeting with M’Baku confirms that the Fantastic Four from Earth 828 have crossed into the main MCU continuity. While the teaser avoids showing the full team in action, the moment firmly establishes the so-called First Family as active participants in the coming conflict. In a way, it is a restrained reveal, but one that carries considerable narrative weight.
This teaser concludes a four-week rollout that highlighted different corners of the Multiverse Saga. The first teaser revealed the return of Chris Evans in a version of Steve Rogers who lived a full life with Peggy Carter. The second shifted attention to Thor, portrayed by Chris Hemsworth, praying to Odin for strength to protect his daughter, Love, from a threat he openly fears. The third brought back the original X Men, with Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Ian McKellen’s Magneto debating death before Cyclops prepares for battle.
Across all four teasers, Doctor Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., remains unseen. His absence is deliberate and consistent, creating a looming presence without a single on-screen appearance. Avengers Doomsday is currently set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, with Wakanda now clearly framed as the opening front in a collision of worlds that has been carefully teased, piece by piece.
