Latest ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Teaser Reunites X-Men’s Xavier & Magneto, As Cyclops Tears Off Visor
The X-Men are back in the latest look at Avengers: Doomsday.
The minute-long teaser, just released by Marvel, features Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his old nemesis Magneto (Ian McKellen) reuniting over a game of chess.
McKellen, in his inimitable voice, intones: “Death comes for us all. That’s all I know for sure. The question isn’t, ‘Are you prepared to die?’ The question is, ‘Who will you be when you close your eyes?’ “
The trailer then cuts to Cyclops, played by James Marsden, tearing off his visor and unleashing the signature red beam from his eyes.
The trio of actors, who first appeared together in 2000’s X-Men, were all confirmed as part of the Doomsday cast last year.
The X-Men-themed teaser is the third released by Marvel. The previous clips featured Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. The Doomsday teasers are playing in cinemas attached to showings of Avatar: Fire and Ash.
Avengers: Doomsday will be the big Christmas movie, premiering on December 18, 2026. Joe and Anthony Russo’s last Avengers title, Endgame, is the second highest-grossing movie of all time with $2.799 billion at the global box office.
Watch the new trailer above.
