Avengers: Doomsday – Wakanda Meets Fantastic Four
Marvel Studios has released a fourth teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, focusing on Wakanda and at least one member of the Fantastic Four. Following teasers featuring Steve Rogers, Thor, and the X-Men, this latest preview from the Russo Brothers and Marvel Studios shows The Thing in Wakanda alongside Shuri and Namor, characters previously seen in Wakanda Forever. Set to release on December 18, 2026, Avengers: Doomsday is positioned as Marvel’s next major epic since Endgame, heightening anticipation. Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled to follow on December 17, 2027. The Russo Brothers have stated that these teasers are not trailers but rather clues and tales that offer hints about the film. The new teaser, which premiered in theaters alongside Avatar: Fire and Ash, includes the following exchange: Shuri: “I’ve lost everyone close to me. A king’s got his duties, preparing our people for the afterlife. I’ve got mine.” King M’Baku introduces himself to Ben Grimm as “King M’Baku, of Wakanda,” to which Grimm replies, “Ben, from Yancy Street, between Broome and Grand.”
Wakanda-Fantastic Four Unite in Avengers: Doomsday Crossover
The teaser also shows Shuri flashing the “Wakanda Forever” sign before boarding a ship. Based on the teaser, this meeting marks the first time the Fantastic Four and the Wakandans have shared the screen, although only Ben Grimm appears. The marketing for Avengers: Doomsday began with a four-hour cast unveiling and concludes each teaser with an updated countdown clock. This installment promises a crossover between Wakanda, Talokan (Atlantis), and the Fantastic Four. The appearance of Namor and Namora from Talokan in the teaser suggests that their world has either been shifted into The Void or left exposed due to the draining of Earth’s oceans. Chris Evans is confirmed to return as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, reprising his role. Joining him are Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Kelsey Grammer (Beast) from the X-Men. Rogers and Thor will return to fight for their children, and the X-Men are heading to this universe to escape total destruction.
