It was one inevitable. Just as Marvel got around to officially releasing the Steve Rogers-centric teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, low quality leaks of the third and fourth teasers–featuring characters from the worlds of the X-Men and Wakanda, respectively–have begun to make their way online. Though the fourth teaser hasn’t circulated quite as freely as the third just yet, excitement has begun to build with each teaser but with a year before the release of the film, it seemed like the growing momentum was about to come to a halt. That no longer seems to be the case.
According to Trailer Track, long a solid source for legitimate information about trailers, Marvel Studios has no intention of letting the momentum run out and is rather allowing to build to an early February crescendo. Trailer Track is reporting that a full trailer for Avengers: Doomsday “will debut during the Super Bowl” and “will be a MASSIVE event.”
Disney is no stranger to Super Bowl marketing and Marvel has used the “Big Game” to debut trailers for Thunderbolts* and Deadpool & Wolverine the past two years. Reaching further into the past, the studio has used the Super Bowl to promote each of its previous four Avengers films, making this report all but a certainty.
Given the focus of the teasers on the film’s returning heroes, it seems logical to wonder if the Big Game spot won’t focus on the film’s title character, Victor Von Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. Word has circulated that Downey’s look as Doom took inspiration from “classic Universal monster movies,” calling to mind his appearance in Jonathan Hickman‘s Secret Wars.
