Steve Rogers Wields Mjolnir in New Avengers: Doomsday Trailer

A new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday arrived on Oct. 24. It runs only about 30 seconds, but it shows a surprising amount of new footage instead of rehashing clips from earlier trailers. It also has some strong moments for Captain America, all three of them.

What the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer shows

The trailer opens with Steve Rogers wielding Mjölnir again. He doesn’t use it in battle. He simply summons it from Thor’s hand, likely to prove he is the real Steve Rogers. Later, Steve holds Thor’s hammer as he asks Thor whether it bothers him, and then the two travel somewhere via the Bifrost.

Captain America wielding Mjölnir was one of the best parts of Avengers: Endgame. Hopefully we see him fight with it again in Doomsday.

Between those two Steve Rogers scenes, the trailer offers new shots of Doctor Doom fighting. Professor X seems to watch another world’s destruction. Invisible Woman and The Thing meet with M’Baku and Black Panther.

The funniest scene comes next. Ant-Man calls Steve Rogers Captain America, then stumbles over the fact that three people who have technically taken up the mantle are in the room. Sam Wilson and John Walker are there too.

The teaser doesn’t include any revelatory plot details, but it might be my favorite one for the movie yet. The other trailers have been fairly serious. This one feels closer in tone to earlier Avengers films, and likely nearer to the vibe Doomsday will have when it arrives.

I can’t wait to see more. Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on December 18.
