Avengers: Doomsdayalready looks set to challenge Avengers: Endgame’s most heavily derided scene. Marvel Studios has finally released the first full trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, and while Doctor Doom's arrival has understandably dominated the conversation, the footage also offers a fascinating look at how the MCU's newest team of heroes will come together. After years of increasingly fragmented storytelling across movies, Disney+ shows, alternate timelines, and multiversal adventures, Doomsday appears to be bringing a huge number of characters into the same space at the same time.
The trailer depicts returning Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Wakandan heroes, and several characters making the jump from other corners of Marvel's cinematic timeline. More importantly, it doesn't simply present them as pieces on a chessboard waiting for the next battle. Several moments focus on interactions between characters, hinting at relationships that could become just as important as the action itself.
That approach may prove particularly significant given one of the most debated moments in Avengers: Endgame. While the film was a massive success and remains one of the MCU's defining achievements, one sequence involving the franchise's female heroes sparked years of discussion among audiences. Some viewers appreciated the celebratory nature of the moment, while others felt it appeared overly staged compared to the more organic interactions elsewhere in the movie.
Avengers: Doomsday's New Trailer Is Already Working To Avoid Repeating Endgame's Most Divisive Scene
One of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer's most interesting moments is also one of its quietest. Amid the chaos of multiversal threats and Doctor Doom's growing power, Sue Storm and Shuri share a brief but noticeable exchange that immediately suggests familiarity and mutual respect. It is a small detail, but one that carries significant implications.
Unlike the famous Endgame sequence in which multiple female heroes suddenly assemble on the battlefield, this interaction feels like the beginning of an actual relationship. The moment does not exist solely to remind audiences that these female characters are present. Instead, it suggests they may spend meaningful time together throughout the film.
That distinction matters. One of the most common criticisms directed at Endgame's all-female team-up was not the concept itself, but the execution. Characters such as Mantis, Wasp, Okoye, Scarlet Witch, and Captain Marvel had little or no on-screen history with one another before suddenly sharing a heroic pose. For some, the scene felt disconnected from the character dynamics that had been built elsewhere in the MCU. It was thus interpreted as a patronizing and performative moment designed solely to tick a box before returning the narrative to the men.
By contrast, Doomsday already appears interested in establishing those dynamics beforehand. If Sue and Shuri are collaborating throughout the story, any later team-up moments are likely to feel earned because audiences will have actually seen the relationship develop.
Avengers: Doomsday's Cast List Seems Primed To Prevent A Repeat Of Endgame's Fight Controversy
Avengers: Doomsday’s enormous cast also works in its favor. Unlike Endgame, which had to juggle dozens of heroes while concluding a decade-long storyline, Doomsday appears to be structured around groups that naturally fit together.
Sue Storm alone creates opportunities for multiple meaningful relationships. As one of the Fantastic Four's central figures and with the potential interest in Franklin Richards. At the same time, her scientific expertise makes her a natural counterpart for characters like Shuri. Both women are among the brightest minds in Marvel, making collaboration feel entirely believable rather than manufactured.
The broader roster creates similar opportunities. The Doomsday trailer teases a thrilling confrontation between Yelena Belova and Mystique, and the cast as a whole appears a bit more evenly split. As such, female heroes are more readily in the mix in Avengers: Doomsday, curtailing the need for a deliberate, ham-fisted moment of female camaraderie.
