Avengers: Doomsday makers have opted a unique way of confirming the star cast of the new film.

With the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, the Russo brothers decided to release the first trailer of the upcoming action sci-fi in theatres.

The first teaser, which was initially premiered in cinemas, showed the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. However, the clip has now officially released by the makers.

Reportedly, now a new footage has been playing in theatres with the screening of Avatar 3, unveiling the “second most significant character”. The clip has not be released officially by Marvel.

Replacing the previous trailer, the new one focuses on Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, walking in the woods and saying a prayer that will be returned to his daughter, Love.

According to USA Today, Hemsworth can be heard saying in the teaser, “Father, all my life, I have answered every call, to honor, duty, to war. But now, fate has given me something I never sought: A child. A life untouched by the storm.”

“Lend me the strength of the All-Fathers, so that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her, not as a warrior, but as warmth.”

“To teach her not battle, but stillness, the kind I never knew. Please, father. Heed my words.”

Avengers: Doomsday is all set to release in theatres globally on December 18, 2026.

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz’s romance continues to heat up as the couple spent Christmas Day together at Styles’ family home in Cheshire.

The festive celebration came just weeks after the pair sparked engagement speculation.

The pair was reportedly seen on Boxing Day at a roadside service station on their way back to Style’s Hampstead property.

Dressed casually, the two kept a low profile.

A source told The Mirror, “They…could have been any young couple travelling back from seeing family.”

The appearance came just a few days after the couple’s sighting sent fans into frenzy.

Kravitz could be seen wearing a chunky gold band on her ring finger as she strolled with the former One Direction member through Rome.

Styles and Kravitz were first linked in August 2025.

The couple have been making headlines since then.

They have travelled together across Europe and the U.S., from Rome and Tuscany to London and New York, where Kravitz introduced Style to her family.

On the professional front Kravitz is soon to get busy as work on a new film project will begin in the UK.

Source to The Sun revealed that she will be staying with Style while filming.
