After teasing fans with four short clips last year, Marvel has finally dropped the official trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, which opens in theaters this December.

The trailer revolves around Thor as he gathers the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and older Avengers like Scott Lang and Sam Wilson. Together, they prepare for the arrival of Doctor Doom.

Thor warns everyone that the multiversal threat is unlike anything he has ever faced.

“I’ve fought with many warriors in my time,” he says. “They were far stronger than all of us put together. And they died.”

He speaks from experience. Later in the trailer, he charges at Doctor Doom with Stormbreaker, much like his arrival during the Battle of Wakanda. Doom simply catches the lightning-infused attack with one hand. He doesn’t even flinch.

Thor has lived for thousands of years. He has fought countless Avengers-level threats, including Hela and Thanos. He also witnessed the fall of Asgard during Ragnarok. That makes his warning hard to ignore.

It’s also fitting that the trailer revolves around him. As the last active original Avenger from the Infinity Saga, Thor has seen more than anyone else in the room.

Familiar faces and new alliances

As Thor speaks, the trailer cuts between several heroes preparing for the coming battle.

It opens at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, where Professor X witnesses destruction outside the mansion before warning that everyone will soon face an “unthinkable decision.”

The Fantastic Four, led by Reed Richards, arrive alongside Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and Scott Lang for what appears to be a strategy meeting with Wakanda’s leaders.

The trailer also revisits several moments from last year’s teasers, this time from different angles.

There’s the Wakandans, led by King M’Baku, meeting Ben Grimm. Black Panther charges into battle with Wakandan forces. Cyclops unleashes a full-powered optic blast. Gambit clashes with Shang-Chi.

A few scenes are completely new. Namor finally joins the action instead of simply observing events. Mystique shapeshifts into Yelena Belova. Loki appears holding what looks like a TVA device. Professor X also shares a quiet moment with Magneto.

The trailer also includes emotional beats. Scott Lang shares a moment with Hope van Dyne, while Johnny Storm comforts Sue Storm as a massive wall of water looms behind her.

A familiar hero returns

The trailer concludes with Thor standing alone against Doctor Doom. Even his strongest attack fails to make the villain budge.

“We are going to need a miracle,” a voice says.

Moments later, Mjolnir suddenly flies into someone’s hand.

“Hey, pal… It’s not possible,” Thor says in disbelief.

The final reveal shows Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers casually catching Mjolnir before smiling back at Thor. The moment confirms that, regardless of which universe he comes from, Captain America remains worthy.

To this point, Marvel still keeps most of the story under wraps. The trailer focuses more on the scale of the threat than the plot itself.

One thing is clear, though. Defeating Doctor Doom will take far more than the Avengers alone.

The FIFA World Cup has officially taken over the planet, causing chronic sleep deprivation, spontaneous living-room screaming matches, and an sudden urge to wear jerseys to formal events.

But what are you supposed to do during those agonizing hours between match kick-offs? Stare at a blank TV screen? Absolutely not.

While the world’s best footballers battle it out on the pitch, Crunchyroll has a bench full of elite sports anime ready to keep your adrenaline levels dangerously high.

From ego-driven strikers to lightning-fast running backs, grab your snacks and settle in for a marathon of victories, setbacks, and comebacks worthy of the world stage.

Who knows, it might inspire you to begin your sports journey too.

BLUE LOCK

Following a disappointing World Cup exit, the Japanese Football Association decides they’ve had enough of “teamwork” and launches a brutal, hyper-isolated training camp called Blue Lock.

The goal? Throw 300 of the country’s best high school forwards into a cutthroat battle royale to breed the ultimate, entirely selfish, world-class striker.

Only one will survive to lead Japan to glory.

Haikyu!!

Shoyo Hinata is pint-sized but possesses an insane vertical leap. After his middle school team gets absolutely demolished by the genius “King of the Court” Tobio Kageyama, Hinata vows revenge.

He enrolls at Karasuno High School to finally crush his rival, only to walk into the gym and find out Kageyama just enrolled there, too.

Now, the sworn enemies have to weaponize their freakish chemistry to bring a fallen powerhouse school back to the national stage.

Shoot! Goal to the Future

Kakegawa High School used to be a legendary name in high school soccer. But these days, the team is a shell of its former self.

Enter Atsushi Kamiya, a former Kakegawa captain turned international soccer star, who returns to coach the struggling squad.

His biggest hurdle? Hideto Tsuji, a profoundly talented player who has completely given up on the sport.

It’s a race against the clock to spark the team’s passion before the whistle blows on their season.

Kuroko’s Basketball

Seirin High just recruited Taiga Kagami, a powerhouse player fresh out of America, alongside Tetsuya Kuroko, a boy so aggressively ordinary he practically blends into the background.

Kagami is horrified to find out Kuroko is terrible at shooting and dribbling until he sees him play. Kuroko’s utter lack of presence allows him to act as an invisible passing ghost, revealing himself as the secret “Sixth Man” of the legendary Middle School Generation of Miracles.

Together, they aim to take down Kuroko’s former teammates one by one.

Eyeshield 21

Sena Kobayakawa is a timid kid who has spent his entire life running away from bullies. Decades of acting as an errand boy have accidentally gifted him with superhuman speed and an uncanny ability to navigate tight spaces.

When the terrifying, submachine-gun-toting captain of the school’s American football team spots Sena’s agility, he forcefully drafts him into the squad.

To hide his identity from rival schools, Sena is forced to don a tinted visor and take the gridiron under the legendary alias: “Eyeshield 21.”

Yuri!!! on ICE

After a crushing, rock-bottom defeat at the Grand Prix Final, Japan’s top figure skater, Yuri Katsuki, heads home with zero confidence and every intention of retiring.

His career seems entirely iced over until a video of him mimicking a routine goes viral, catching the eye of five-time reigning world champion Victor Nikiforov.

In a shocking move, Victor flies to Japan and offers to become Yuri’s coach, sparking a beautiful, high-stakes journey back to the world stage.

MF GHOST

It’s the 202X decade, and Japan has fully embraced self-driving electric vehicles. Traditional cars are all but extinct.

However, internal combustion gets a roaring second life thanks to MFG, a dangerous street-racing circuit held on public motorways.

Kanata Rivington, a brilliant 19-year-old trained by a legendary racer in the UK, arrives in Japan to compete in the MFG with a humble Toyota 86. In the process, he tracks down clues about his missing father.
