Avengers: Doomsday teaser leaked
Despite keeping it tight-lipped, the teaser of the Avengers: Doomsday has been leaked on social media. The major spoiler from the first teaser is the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. The leaked video showed Evans getting off his bike, entering a house. He touched Captain America's uniform, and next, he was seen holding a baby, believed to be James Rogers.
Marvel was set to unveil the trailer in cinemas alongside James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. The plan was to release one teaser each week, starting December 19.
Meanwhile, FeatureFirst reported that teaser 2 from the trailer will focus on Thor, while teaser 3 and 4 will highlight Victor von Doom and the main teaser trailer.
While many AI-generated clips have been doing the rounds on social media, Chris Evans clip seemed real. Wherever the clip was seen, it was almost immediately taken down due to copyright infringement, hinting that the teaser is real. Reports say that three out of the four teasers have been leaked, all of which were recorded in theatres during screenings.
Fans react to Avengers: Doomsday teaser leaked
Reacting to the alleged return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, one fan said on X, "It is AMAZING to me how many people already know exactly what Chris Evans’ role is going to be in #DOOMSDAY how he is going to interact with the other characters and how it is going to single-handedly undo everything that happened in Endgame. Especially since they have seen 0% of the actual film. Wild times we live in."
"Chris Evans is turning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday. ONLY THE REAL MARVEL FANS KNOWS WHAT WE JUST GOT TO KNOW," read one fan's post. Another asked, "And Secret Wars?? Chris Evans staying after Doomsday??"
Chris Evans on possibility of returning to MCU
Meanwhile, Evans’ last movie as Captain America was 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. In a 2023 interview with GQ, Evans opened up about how he initially had reluctance to take on the role. “I was really apprehensive. I remember in my late 20s having a real shift in how I felt on set, how I felt promoting films: a little more anxiety, a little more uncertainty. You always end up questioning, Is this what I should be doing?” he said.
When asked whether he would be open to returning to the MCU, Evans said, "I'll never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience." He added that it is also very precious and it is something he is very proud of.
"And like I said, sometimes I can’t believe it even happened. And I wouldn’t want the black eye if it felt like a cash grab or if it didn’t live up to expectations or if it just felt like it wasn’t connected to that original thing. So, no time soon," he told the portal.
