The X-Men’s Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Is Finally Online, And I’m Nervous About Those Sentinels

Marvel consistently delivers new movies and shows, both in theaters and on Disney+. But fans are especially excited for the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday, which promises a complex story involving multiple universes and teams of heroes. After glimpses of Captain America and Thor, we’ve now seen a teaser featuring characters from the X-Men movies. However, I’m a little concerned about how the villainous Sentinels will be visually represented in the film.

Details about Avengers: Doomsday have been scarce, but the recent marketing push is starting to reveal more. The cast list confirmed the X-Men will be in the movie, and a new clip gave us our first look at Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and James Marsden as Cyclops. In the clip, Cyclops appears with Sentinels in the background, and fans are now wondering if these robots will look like they do in the comics.

The trailer concludes with Cyclops removing his visor and unleashing a powerful optic blast at an unknown opponent. The final shot appears to show Sentinels in the background, and fans are hoping for a compelling design for these iconic robots, which have been a significant part of the X-Men series for years.

Disney+ offers streaming access to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films and the X-Men movies. A new plan with ads starts at $11.99 per month. You can remove ads for $18.99 monthly, or save 16% by paying $189.99 annually. See the deal here.

The Sentinels, well-known from X-Men comics and cartoons, haven’t always translated well to live-action films. They had a quick appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand during a training exercise, but didn’t truly shine until Days of Future Past. Though the futuristic Sentinels were frightening, some viewers weren’t thrilled with the 1970s-era robots. Now, Doomsday offers a chance to finally deliver a truly compelling version of these villains for fans who have followed the X-Men stories for years.

Beyond the Sentinels, it’s unclear how mutants will be integrated into the story of Doomsday. Some fans think the movie will take place in the same universe we briefly saw in The Marvels, where Monica Rambeau met Beast. However, since Teyonah Parris hasn’t been confirmed for the next Avengers film, it’s possible the movie will be set in a completely different universe. Honestly, it’s all a bit confusing!

Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe began, fans have wanted to see the X-Men join the action. When Disney bought 20th Century Fox, it made that possibility a reality, and we’ve already seen hints of mutants in movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvels. Now, The Marvels is set to officially bring the team together, and fans are eager to see how it will all happen.

You’ll find out everything about Avengers: Doomsday when it comes out in theaters on December 18th, 2026. Fans are hoping a detailed trailer explaining the plot will be released before then.
