LOS ANGELES: Marvel fans have a big reason to cheer as the first teaser of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ has been released.

Marvel Entertainment, on Tuesday, dropped a teaser on its YouTube channel, confirming the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America. The teaser was first shown in theatres along with James Cameron’s film “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” Later, it was shared online for fans around the world.

The short teaser shows Steve Rogers on a quiet farm. He is seen riding a motorcycle towards his home as a soft piano version of the Avengers theme plays. Steve wears a blue helmet that reminds fans of his Captain America suit. In one scene, he is seen holding a newborn baby. The teaser ends with the line “Steve Rogers will return for Avengers: Doomsday.” A countdown timer also appears, marking one year until the film’s release.

The Russo Brothers, who are directing the film, shared the teaser on Instagram. Along with it, they wrote, “The character that changed our lives. The story that brought us all here together. It was always going to come back to this…”
