Marvel Studios has released a new Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday teaser that draws on several essential MCU films. Avengers: Doomsday is the next major MCU film on the slate, collating characters from Marvel's Infinity and Multiverse Sagas for one big crossover event. To prepare audiences for Doomsday, Marvel Studios has begun highlighting which MCU titles are required viewing to best understand Avengers 5.
A new trailer promoting Avengers: Doomsday, as well as the November 13 release of Avengers Endgame: Encore on Disney+, compiles moments from essential MCU movies and TV series that will be important to Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel encourages audiences to "relive the saga" on Disney+, pulling clips from a variety of films and spotlighting characters who will be crucial in the upcoming film.
Remember what brought us together. Relive the saga with the Countdown to Doomsday Collection now on Disney+ and stream Avengers Endgame: Encore beginning November 13 on Disney+, all before Avengers: Doomsday arrives only in theaters everywhere December 18.
Marvel Studios has released over 50 MCU projects since it began in 2008, with the cinematic universe now spanning film, TV, and animation. That makes for a lot of homework if audiences want to rewatch the MCU before Avengers: Doomsday. Hence, Marvel has tried to ease the burden by highlighting the most important projects to watch before Avengers: Doomsday.
The titles highlighted in the Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday trailer include:
- Avengers Endgame: Encore
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
- Captain America: Brave New World
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Thunderbolts*
- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps
- Loki
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- Deadpool and Wolverine
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
This list closely mirrors the Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday collection on Disney+, though it omits several films from that list, including the Fox X-Men movies and Spider-Man: No Way Home, potentially due to licensing issues. Instead, wider-universe characters are featured in the trailer, using clips from Marvel Studios-owned films, such as Tom Holland's Spider-Man in Avengers: Infinity War and Patrick Stewart's Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The trailer ends with a green-tinged Disney+ logo before cutting to a brief snippet from Avengers: Doomsday, further enforcing the connection between the highlighted MCU projects and the upcoming Avengers flick.
