The Doomsday trailer is now online, confirming the return of Captain America

The first Avengers: Doomsday the trailer is now online – officially, on Tuesday – giving Marvel fans who haven’t made the trip to Pandora or the dark corners of the internet their first 4K look at next year’s MCU headliner. And while the trailer won’t be much of a surprise to anyone who sees it Avatar: Fire and Ash in theaters, paying attention to leaks, or reading first-hand reports about Steve Rogers’ return, it paints a clear picture of Chris Evans reprising his role as the Avenger and a very small new addition to the MCU, little baby Steve.

The contents of the fourth trailer are still unclear, but it looks like it will be a much more comprehensive trailer Avengers: Doomsdayhopefully giving Marvel fans a further look at the film’s cast.
