Marvel packed the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer with references that most fans scrolled right past. From deep-cut comic callbacks to blink-and-miss-it details, here are the hidden easter eggs buried in the footage.
All major Marvel easter eggs and references in Avengers: Doomsday trailer
1. Three Colliding Earths at Avengers Tower
A wide shot inside the renovated Avengers Tower shows three connected globes in the background, directly mirroring the Marvel Comics incursion panels where Earth-616, Earth-828, and the X-Men universe crash into each other.
2. Doctor Doom’s First-Ever Eastern European Accent
Downey’s Doom speaks with a vague Eastern European accent, marking the first time any Marvel adaptation has given the character a voice honoring his Latverian comic book origins.
3. Thor Finally Goes for the Head
Thor swings Stormbreaker right at Doom’s face, directly correcting his infamous Infinity War mistake that cost half the universe. Doom then casually catches the same cosmic weapon that killed Thanos with just his fingertips.
4. Steve Rogers’ Nomad Look Mirrors Infinity War
Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers steps out of the shadows with long hair and a beard, recreating his dramatic Edinburgh entrance from Infinity War almost shot for shot.
5. The Mjolnir Worthiness Callback
Steve grabs Mjolnir once again, instantly recalling the Endgame climax, but this time he is lifting the reconstructed version that now belongs to Thor’s daughter Love rather than the past timeline copy he wielded against Thanos.
6. Loki’s TVA Card and Steve Rogers’ House
Tom Hiddleston’s Loki holds a TVA ID that now features the multiversal tree on its back, connecting his Disney+ sacrifice directly into the Doomsday storyline. Meanwhile, the curtains behind Loki also match the home where Steve and Peggy danced at the end of Endgame, suggesting Loki visited Steve to warn him about Doom.
7. Namor Parts the Ocean as Sue Storm Holds It Back
Namor splits the sea floor in a visual that directly echoes The Ten Commandments, while Sue Storm uses her force fields to hold back entire walls of ocean water after stopping Galactus in First Steps.
8. Namor’s Moisture Suit from the Comics
Namor wears a black bodysuit with blue accent scales, referencing the moisture suit from The Sub-Mariner #67 (1973) that keeps him hydrated on land.
9. Cassie Lang’s Comic-Accurate Blonde Hair
Cassie Lang now sports blonde hair matching her comic book appearance, and Scott Lang appears to say goodbye to her before the final battle.
10. The H.E.R.B.I.E Robot Inside the X-Mansion
During the X-Mansion fight, the Fantastic Four’s robot companion Herby appears in the background, a deep cut from the 1978 Fantastic Four animated series.
11. Mystique’s First Comic-Accurate Costume
Rebecca Romijn returns as Mystique, but now wears a proper costume instead of the body-paint look from the original Fox trilogy.
12. Doombots Scattered Across the Battlefield
Robot parts litter the ground where Thor lands, referencing the classic Fantastic Four comic trope where heroes can never tell if they fought the real Doom or one of his robot doubles.
Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18, 2026.
