Russo brothers call Avengers: Doomsday teasers 'stories' and 'clues'

Movieweb reports the Russo brothers posted on Instagram that the four teaser trailers for Avengers: Doomsday "are not teasers. Or trailers. They are stories. They are clues…Pay attention. #DoomsdayHasBegun." Marvel Studios released four short teaser trailers over the past month, playing them during screenings of Avatar: The Last Airbender: Fire and Ash and later uploading them the following Tuesday.

The first trailer showed Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, the second centered on Chris Hemsworth's Thor, the third was X-Men‑centric, and the fourth showcased the Wakandans, Namor, and Ben Grimm / The Thing. The outlet notes the brothers' wording might suggest some scenes are standalone prologues or post‑credit moments rather than sequences from the main film—comparing that possibility to how Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain Marvel set up later Avengers entries.

Recurring themes across the four trailers include children and the idea of death and destruction, with lines such as Magneto's "Death comes for us all. The question is not are you prepared to die, but who will you be when you close your eyes," and Shuri's "A king has his duties.
