New Avengers: Doomsday footage shown

New footage from Avengers: Doomsday was shown during a commercial break in the first game of the World Series baseball match on Friday, October 23, in the United States. The clip features the Fantastic Four in a stadium, with Ant-Man calling the wrong Captain America.

Ad aired on Fox during baseball game

The ad aired on Fox during the first game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays. In France, it aired during the night of Friday to Saturday.

Footage released ahead of film’s December release

The footage arrives less than two months before the film's release, scheduled for Wednesday, December 16, 2026, in France, two days before the United States. The new teaser adds to the first trailer, released on July 20, and the second, unveiled in August at D23, the Disney fan convention.

Baseball-themed scenes include real stadium

The ad plays up baseball, showing the Fantastic Four at Ebbets Field, the old stadium of the Brooklyn Dodgers, which was demolished in 1960 in the real world but still stands in the film. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) uses his elastic arm to throw the first pitch of the game.

MLB players appear in ad but not in film

Five players from the MLB, the North American baseball league, also appear on the bench: Bryce Harper (Phillies), Freddie Freeman (Dodgers), Randy Arozarena (Mariners), Junior Caminero (Rays), and Jacob Misiorowski, starting pitcher for the Brewers during the same first game. According to the MLB, the scene is indeed taken from the film, but the players were added for this ad.

Ant-Man’s slip hints at character dynamics

In the footage, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) spontaneously calls Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) "Cap," before correcting himself: the title now belongs to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). This brief hesitation gives a glimpse of the exchanges that could arise from Steve's return, who had passed his shield to Sam at the end of Avengers: Endgame.

Thor and Black Panther appear, Doctor Doom closes video

Thor and Black Panther also appear, while Doctor Doom closes the video, still hidden behind his mask and hood.
