Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is front and centre in a fresh batch of 12 Avengers: Doomsday posters, released ahead of the film’s 18 December 2026 debut, according to The Direct. The set shows heroes from three separate Marvel worlds using their powers, with one image giving Thor a hammer in each hand.
Thor takes the first poster
The Direct reports that the set opens with Hemsworth’s Thor alongside Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, and Letitia Wright’s Shuri, who is Black Panther. Thor is shown holding both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker while lightning crackles around him.
A later poster pairs him with Sam Wilson again. There, Sam stands with the Captain America shield on his left arm while Thor flies overhead with Stormbreaker in his right hand and Mjolnir in his left. The Direct describes the two as among the biggest names from the Infinity Saga.
Hemsworth’s name is also tied to this film’s future. Readers following his Marvel run can see more in our Chris Hemsworth archive and in our earlier piece on how his gym photos fuelled Secret Wars Thor talk.
X-Men and Fantastic Four join the line-up
The Direct says Doomsday carries the biggest cast of any superhero film in history, and the posters reflect that. One focuses on Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, Channing Tatum’s Gambit and James Marsden’s Cyclops, with a red optic blast leaving the frame. Another shows Marsden’s Cyclops firing while Grammer’s Beast leaps with claws bared.
From the Fantastic Four side, Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic stretches out an arm in a poster shared with Ebon Moss-Bachrach‘s Thing. The outlet notes a second poster shows Reed Richards and Ben Grimm in live-action form rather than as the hand-drawn animated versions seen elsewhere.
Doom dominates the set
Doctor Doom is the film’s main villain, and The Direct says he takes the most space across the set. He stands with arms crossed in several posters, surrounded by Captain America, Beast, Cyclops, the Thing and Black Panther. Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, also known as Black Widow, appears in one of them.
In one image, Downey’s Doom stands behind a green-tinted version of the Avengers “A” logo. Others use taglines such as “Doom is supreme” and “Doom has no rivals”. One shows only a hint of Downey’s eyes through the mask. The Direct adds that the Latverian ruler is shown in live action for the first time in more than 10 years outside the MCU, the last being 2015.
Several posters are described as foreign editions. One places Doom above a group of Sentinels and 11 heroes, including Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor X in his wheelchair. The Direct states that Stewart died on 28 October, and a separate poster features him under a banner bearing his name. That report comes from a single outlet in the sources used here.
What happens next
Avengers: Doomsday opens on 18 December 2026, so more promotional material is likely in the weeks ahead. Marvel Studios has not, in the sources reviewed, announced further release dates for additional posters. We will update this page if Hemsworth or Marvel confirms more.
