New Avengers: Doomsday Promo Shows Steve Rogers Beside Ben Grimm
A one-minute World Series spot for Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday offers an alternate angle of the New Avengers meeting veteran heroes and the Fantastic Four.
A new one-minute promo for Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday aired during Game 1 of the 2026 World Series and was later posted on MLB's X account, according to comingsoon.net. The spot uses an alternate angle of a scene in which the New Avengers meet veteran heroes and the Fantastic Four.
In the new framing, Steve Rogers is shown standing next to Ben Grimm, played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, while Paul Rudd's Scott Lang tries to entertain the group. The setting is Earth-828, where the promo stages the gathering at Ebbets Field.
Fans have seized on the shot because the earlier Avengers: Doomsday trailer showed an empty space in the same group shot, which some read as a sign Steve Rogers had been edited out. Marvel has not commented on the rumor.
Not everyone is convinced. Some viewers argue nothing was cut, pointing out that Steve appears elsewhere in the same trailer and that the new clip may simply show the scene seconds before or after the original frame. Another popular fan theory holds that Tom Hiddleston's Loki is in disguise in the scene.
In 2018, marketing for Avengers: Infinity War included scenes that never made it into the film, a precedent that has fuelled close reading of Marvel trailers.
