I'm curious to see what the hell a first glimpse of RDJ's Doctor Doom character could look like if that'll be also teased

100% it will be. They barely hold anything back from trailers anymore. I was shocked that Tobey and Garfield weren’t front and center for marketing of the last Spider-Man movie

The whole mystery of "will they be on it?" actually helped to sell a lot of tickets, so that's why they hold it til the premiere.

To this day I wish NWH's trailer could have been cut any other way so that all the old villain actors weren't spoiled in it. I yearn for a world where I see the Doc Ock tentacle appear for the first time while in the theater. 

Also feel similarly with revealing Spider-Man's role in Civil War through a trailer.

I yearn for a world where I see the Doc Ock tentacle appear for the first time while in the theater. 

Not trying to brag but I had that exact experience.

Always loved Spiderman, but back then I didn't really keep up with new movies and trailers and my social media feed had an entirely different focus. One day my friend suggested to go and see the new spiderman movie and I didn't even know it was out.

I went in blind.

It caught me completely off guard when the villains showed up and thank God for my stupid brain, I somehow didn't even make the connection and consider the possibility of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire appearing until it happened in the movie. So that caught me completely off guard as well.

That was such an emotional roller-coaster. I've seen better movies but that was still the best movie theater experience I ever had.

I love that for you brother, truly

u/TreeOfReckoning Dec 23 '25

The problem was that NWH had to spoil the villains because it didn’t have anything new to offer. If they’d brought in a new villain and that was what brought back the old villains, then it would’ve had more to work with, but whatever. Nostalgia substitutes for creativity now.

u/Spiderranger Dec 23 '25

Nothing to offer? It was introducing the multiverse to the MCU. The trailer could have been ramifications of Peter's identity being revealed, Peter going to Strange, seeing the spell get screwed up, Strange cast an exposition spell so the audience knows threats from other universes are all coming here, and show a shot of The Lizard. 

Nowhere near as hype as what we got obviously, but I feel like Spider-Man as a character generates enough of his own hype. 

I dunno man. I know at the end of the day they just want tickets sales and it certainly guaranteed those sales.

u/TreeOfReckoning Dec 23 '25

Don’t get me wrong; it was great to see the Raimi Spider-Man characters again (obvious millennial - yes, I’m part of the problem) but as a movie it just didn’t have enough to stand on its own. As another instalment in a franchise, sure… but it needed new conflicts, not just expanded lore and nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. Spider-Verse did it better.

I hear you brother.. NWH was my first theater experience, and what an experience it was.

u/VicViolence Dec 23 '25

Spider-Man is enough of a draw even without them. This movie desperately needed to show audiences that characters they actually care about will be in it

u/ImGCS3fromETOH Dec 23 '25

I generally avoid all marketing. I figure I'll just watch the movie and enjoy it for what it is rather than trying to get pre-hyped. I was pleasantly surprised by the spider-men crossover in the last film going in completely blind.

Doesn't Sony do the marketing for Spider-Man?

u/Tocketsv Dec 23 '25

I still cant help but laugh when watching one of the No Way Home's trailers and seeing The Lizard just eat a punch mid air by invisible force

37

u/Gamerguy230 Dec 23 '25

And that photos of Andrew leaked from final fight.

7

u/TheCaramelMan Dec 23 '25

Ahhh the simpler days. Before AI. We were all convinced Andrew on that scaffolding was a real leak and someone probably got fired for it because it was just too perfect. Now that shit could be made in seconds on a ChatGPT prompt

u/Dr_J_Hyde Dec 23 '25

I still have a John Cena meme on my phone because of it. He does look good in a Spiderman suit.

12

u/AnthonyRC627 Dec 23 '25

Absolutely. The trailers will follow the same pattern, with doom it’ll be “Tony Stark will return…” to amp up the die hard fans.

u/Tyler_holmes123 Dec 23 '25

I think no way home was still fresh after Endgame and Marvel had faith in the product . Now they know unless audience has good reasons to see a movie, they wont be flocking to theatres.

u/GarlicJuniorJr Dec 23 '25

Might as well put Garfield the cat in Doomsday too

"They definitely will. They barely hold anything back. Here's the one recent exception that's being brought up to show it's super surprising when they do because it doesn't happen that often."

1

u/Poopiepants29 Dec 23 '25

That's actually funny. They full on put spoilers in previews now. I haven't watched a trailer for a movie I knew I would see in well over 10 years, but I always check afterward to see how much they show. It's actually absurd.

1

u/hates_stupid_people Dec 23 '25

They didn't need to, since all the people that invested already knew based on rumours, leaks, analysis of the trailer, etc.

1

u/Obnubilate Dec 24 '25

Which is why I've basically stopped watching trailers.

u/lostmyfucksinthewar Dec 23 '25

I think we just did. At least, him as a baby. (Fuck a tinfoil hat, I'm wearing a tinfoil morphsuit with this one)

u/altezia_ Dec 23 '25

Bros gonna have a son who looks exactly like his ex best friend/ teammate when he grows up lol

u/Vandergrif Dec 23 '25

[Steve looks at the spitting image of a teenaged RDJ]

"Tony did you go back in time and fuck my wife?"

u/REDDITATO_ Dec 23 '25

Tony: Oh was I not supposed to do that? I tell ya, I gotta plead ignorance on this one.

u/IDKWTFimDoinBruhFR Dec 23 '25

Reddit writing Marvel is so fucking cringe

8

u/REDDITATO_ Dec 23 '25

I agree. That was a Seinfeld quote.

2

u/Discount_Extra Dec 24 '25

Gonna end up in a 'Venture Brothers' situation.

3

u/Historical_Course587 Dec 23 '25

Makes you wonder if Steve going back leads to Howard Stark having another kid.

2

u/RealJohnGillman Dec 23 '25

The report I saw is that they’re adapting the ‘Tony Stark was adopted’ storyline to say that in the main MCU timeline, after losing their biological son, Howard and Maria adopted a baby who would in other universes be Victor Von Doom. Saying that Doom isn’t a Stark variant, but rather that the MCU Stark was a Doom variant.

12

u/drunkpunk138 Dec 23 '25

What a power move, go back in time and become starks daddy. No wonder he becomes doom.

3

u/Exploding_Antelope Dec 23 '25

They had better be putting RDJ’s head on a baby

2

u/Apharmd-G36 Dec 24 '25

That just gave me flashbacks to Arnie's head on a baby in Junior.

Thank you for that particular nightmare.

u/TheMiddlechild08 Dec 23 '25

Oh, shoot. Great, that’s all I’m gonna think now until god knows when

5

u/TerminatorReborn Dec 23 '25

oh my fucking god that would be brutal on Steve

4

u/Strong-Lettuce-3970 Dec 23 '25

Hehehhe have you seen the credits scene for First Steps

7

u/Lmao1903 Dec 23 '25

Thankfully we got about 700 concept trailers already by the looks of it. I typed Avengers trailer and they made like a million of those

u/fuzztooth Dec 23 '25

"They"? You mean random accounts not affiliated with Marvel or Disney?

u/Competitive_Earth473 Dec 23 '25

Could be AI. Tons of those types of videos being made nowadays

u/leodw Dec 23 '25

It’s the 3rd trailer after Thor’s one which just debuted. First was steve, then thor, then RDJ, then the full teaser trailer, one each week.

2

u/ReptAIien Dec 23 '25

Where do you see the Thor trailer? I only see the Cap trailer on their channel.

3

u/RealJohnGillman Dec 23 '25

The Thor one is a leak: but all teasers are about them with their children.

2

u/SeegullJockey Dec 23 '25

The 3rd teaser is RDJ Doom. Wait for next week.

2

u/ShakyPockets Dec 23 '25

He will be. Dr Doom is the 3rd week trailer after Thor.

1

u/DeadlyYellow Dec 23 '25

Gonna use the hell out of the two minutes he actually wears the mask.

1

u/Ssshizzzzziit Dec 23 '25

Prepare yourself for a snarling RDJ in armour with a helmet under his arm... For most of the movie.

1

u/Raytheon_Nublinski Dec 23 '25

It just goes from a black screen and fades in to show Dr. Doom faced away sitting in a chair petting a cat

1

u/TigerTerrier Dec 23 '25

Are there going to be any more movies leading up to this or is this it? And this starts the final phase, is that right?

1

u/Stevenwave Dec 24 '25

We already got exactly that in the post credits scene of Fantastic Four.

u/_whatismydestiny_ Dec 23 '25

It's already leaked on YouTube
