Marvel Reveals New Avengers: Doomsday Footage in a World Series Commercial

Marvel Studios revealed new Avengers: Doomsday footage in a special commercial during Game 1 of the 2026 World Series on Friday, October 23. The roughly one-minute spot shows the Fantastic Four at Ebbets Field and ends with Doctor Doom, according to MLB.com.

MLB.com reports that the promo shows a scene in which Reed Richards throws a ceremonial first pitch, with Doctor Doom appearing in the sky at the end. Fantasy Land News describes the setting as Ebbets Field on the Fantastic Four’s home world, Earth-828, with a Dodgers “World Champs” banner on the stadium and fans holding a sign reading “Four Heroes, One Historic Field.”

Real players appear in the dugout in their own uniforms: Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, Randy Arozarena, Junior Caminero and Jacob Misiorowski, who started Game 1 for the Brewers, per MLB.com and Fantasy Land News.

Fantasy Land News also lists Ant-Man and Sam Wilson in his Captain America suit, Thor calling down lightning and Black Panther entering the frame. The footage ends on Doctor Doom in his mask and hood, followed by a closing card reading “12.18.26 Is Doomsday.”

MLB announced the preview a day earlier with a video reading, “Something’s coming… Tune in to World Series Game 1 for an exclusive preview of Avengers: Doomsday,” according to ComicBook.com. Game 1 between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers aired on Fox at 8 PM.

Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18, 2026.
