A new Avengers: Doomsday trailer is still the subject of unconfirmed reports. As of the morning of November 13, 2026, Marvel Studios has not released a new official trailer, and it has not dated one. Robert Downey Jr. posted a cryptic Instagram clip that some coverage has read as a lead-in to a trailer. That reading has not been confirmed by Marvel.
Everything that follows is rumor or inference, except where a fact is attributed to Marvel or another named outlet.
The Instagram clip, and what has not dropped
GamesRadar, in a November 13 report by Lauren Milici, says Downey posted a silent Instagram video with the caption "Patience, subjects... Time will tell. Doom won't..." GamesRadar's writer thinks the post "has to be" a setup for a final trailer. That is the outlet's interpretation, not a studio announcement.
The same GamesRadar piece says Empire, after publishing its cover story, "teased that something else was arriving at 4 PM tomorrow," which on a November 13 article would be November 14, and flags that the hour might be UK time. Empire's own November 12 article, timestamped 3.59 p.m., is about [four collectible covers and a 22-page feature](/blog/avengers-doomsday-empire-tease-november-12), not a trailer. This article is not treating GamesRadar's 4 p.m. read as an official Empire or Marvel trailer time.
Earlier timing rumors, including claims of a trailer before Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, or on November 18, remain unverified. Comic Basics has reported insider expectations in a mid-November window and has also said Marvel has not officially announced a date.
Marvel's first official Avengers: Doomsday trailer arrived in July 2026. Marvel says the film opens in theaters everywhere on December 18. Some outlets, including GamesRadar, list a December 16 opening in the United Kingdom; this article is not independently confirming that regional date.
Wanda, test footage, and billing
The VisionQuest season finale includes a post-credits scene in which a hooded figure, widely identified as Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, lifts rubble off Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch and says, "Scarlet Witch, awaken. Your power will be mine." Deadline reported that scene on November 10. It is a tease, not an official announcement that Elizabeth Olsen is in Avengers: Doomsday.
Olsen is not on Marvel's announced principal cast for the film. In March, she told Deadline she knew "nothing" about a possible return. Circulating talk of "Wanda test footage" in the movie has not been confirmed by Marvel, and this article is not treating social posts as evidence of her billing.
Iron Man and other cameo talk
Robert Downey Jr. is officially returning as Victor von Doom, not as Tony Stark. Kevin Feige has now told Empire that Downey's Doom is not a Tony Stark variant; those comments are in our [Feige and Empire follow-up](/blog/kevin-feige-empire-doom-not-tony-stark-variant). Rumors of an Iron Man cameo, or of other unannounced returns, remain unconfirmed.
A pose or visual callback in the July trailer is not the same thing as a confirmed Tony Stark appearance. This article is not folding that kind of trailer reading into a cameo announcement.
Marvel has already named a large ensemble and, according to coverage of the Russo brothers' comments, has said more unannounced actors could still appear. "Could still appear" is not a list of names.
The takeaway
As of November 13, there is no new official Doomsday trailer. Downey's Instagram caption is public; GamesRadar's suggestion that a final trailer is next is unconfirmed. Empire's November 12 drop was covers, not a trailer. Olsen's official place in the cast and an Iron Man cameo also remain unconfirmed. If Marvel posts something new, that will be the source to trust.
