Avengers: Doomsday teaser pairs Fantastic Four with Wakanda forces

Collider reports the fourth teaser for 2026's Avengers: Doomsday, released after screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash, spotlights a meeting between members of the Fantastic Four and forces from Wakanda.

The teaser opens with Shuri (Letitia Wright) monologuing about her responsibilities as Black Panther, then cuts to shots of Namor (Tenoch Huerta) on a throne and M'Baku (Winston Duke) walking beside Shuri. The desert wasteland setting is described as unclear — it could be The Void from Deadpool & Wolverine or Talokanil territory with the ocean dried up — and the snippet shows Shuri and M'Baku meeting Ben Grimm (Ebon-Moss Bachrach). It provides the only back-and-forth dialogue so far, with M'Baku introducing himself as King of Wakanda and Ben making a self-deprecating joke about Yancy Street, and the report says the Russo Brothers appear to be bringing their signature quips to the film.

The piece notes the crossover echoes decades of comics history, including T'Challa's first appearance in Fantastic Four #52 and #53 and the longstanding thematic contrast between the Fantastic Four's global altruism and Wakanda's isolationist stance. Whether this will be a team-up that lasts the entire film is yet to be seen.

The fourth teaser is described as potentially the final snippet released so far, and Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to open on December 18, 2026.
