Marvel’s first full trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday” racked up 503 million views worldwide within 24 hours of its release, making it the second-biggest trailer launch in movie history and the most-viewed trailer in Disney’s history, according to a report from Variety.
The only trailer to top it belongs to Sony’s upcoming “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” which pulled in 719 million views. The “Doomsday” debut also blew past Disney’s previous best, the 2024 “Deadpool & Wolverine” Super Bowl teaser, which drew 365 million views including its television broadcast audience.
Disney and Marvel Studios began marketing “Avengers: Doomsday” last December with a run of four teaser trailers. The full trailer arrived Monday, days ahead of Marvel’s Comic-Con presentation, where the film is expected to feature prominently.

Excitement around “Doomsday” is running high because it marks the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first major team-up movie since 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” The new footage previews a battle between the Avengers and X-Men — including Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Letitia Wright as Black Panther and Channing Tatum as Gambit — against Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
The trailer’s release coincided with the start of advance ticket sales, which brought in $16.5 million on their first day, more than double the first-day pre-sale total for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Premium showtimes for Dec. 17 and Dec. 18 are already largely sold out, and theater chains are reportedly adding screenings around Christmas to meet demand.
“Avengers: Doomsday,” the 39th installment in the MCU, opens Dec. 18, a few months after “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” Both films are expected to rank among the year’s biggest box office draws.
