The teaser moves to show a brief glimpse of Cyclops unleashing a red energy beam from his eyes, displaying a major display of power, suggesting that the character is set to take more of a central role in the ‘Doomsday’ adventure.

While the fans have been treated to the first glimpses of Stewart, McKellen, and Marsden, they will be joined by Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler, Channing Tatum’s Gambit, and Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique, as per Variety.

The X-Men are set to cross paths with the ‘Avengers’ characters like Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Sebastian Stan, Tom Hiddleston, Simu Liu, Letitia Wright, and Winston Duke, among others. Robert Downey Jr. is also making his return to the MCU; however, as the lead villain, Doctor Doom.

On the other hand, the mega team will also include the likes of the ‘Fantastic Four’ stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, followed by ‘Thunderbolts’ actors Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman.

The latest teaser arrived after the previous clips revealed the returns of Thor and Steve Rogers. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is set to release in theatres on December 18, 2026. (ANI)
