The anticipation and buzz around Avengers: Doomsday has been significant, especially since it marks the first Avengers movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in nearly a decade. The makers have now dropped a teaser of the film, making two big announcements. First being the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers and the second, its release date.

The tease centres on Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. Although rumoured earlier, the teaser confirms the return of the original Captain America, who is seen having a child in the new clip. Fans speculate the child is Rogers with presumably Peggy Carter (Haley Atwell) since they locked their time-displaced romance with a kiss at the end of Endgame. How that shapes up in the movie`s plot is a mystery.

Interestingly, the official release of the teaser comes a week after Avengers: Doomsday footages were leaked online and circulted online like wildfire. After a weekend of speculation about multiple trailers for the film in the coming days, the teaser had leaked online ahead of Fire & Ash‘s opening, which hinted at Evan’s return. Along with visuals of Chris holding his newborn child, the teaser states, “Steve Rogers will return.”
It also reveals that Avengers: Doomsday hits theatres on December 18, 2026. This will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
