New Avengers: Doomsday promo art reveals comic-accurate upgrades — including a short-haired Thor — and has fans raving over Magneto’s suit and the Fantastic Four jackets, after SFX and makeup artist Gi Ponci Mua shared the crew-gift images.

Well, that did not take long. Fresh Avengers: Doomsday promo art just hit the internet and Marvel fans are collectively losing it over how comic-book the suits are. Also, Thor has short hair again. Yes, really.

Where this came from

SFX and makeup artist Gi Ponci Mua shared a gallery of crew-gift art, which looks like our first clean, ensemble-style look at the movie lineup. Classic inside baseball note: crew gifts are often where this stuff slips out first, and this batch is basically a roll call of who is in play and what they are wearing.

What the art shows

  • Magneto - updated but very classic silhouette and colors. The internet is calling it a glow-up and they are not wrong.
  • Thor - back to the closer-cropped hair, more in line with his Infinity War-era look.
  • Namor - a much more comic-accurate redesign: black-and-gold suit, big heroic build, dramatic water effects, plus a bearded variant in another image.
  • The Fantastic Four - blue-and-white uniforms stick around, now with jackets layered on. Reed Richards has one that basically reads as a lab coat, which is a great touch. Sue, Ben, and Johnny are shown in matching fits.
  • Cyclops - straight-up blue-and-yellow with the visor mask, the classic leader look fans have been asking for.
  • Doctor Doom - present in the lineup, alongside the above and other Marvel heroes.

Fans are into it

Reactions are exactly what you would expect when Marvel leans hard into comic-accurate design. People are hyped about the X-Men suits getting a proper debut, thrilled that Cyclops finally looks like Cyclops, and weirdly emotional about Thor getting a haircut.

"This is the Magneto glow-up we deserved."

That was the vibe across the board: big love for Magneto, a lot of 'short hair?!' for Thor, relief that the Fantastic Four kept their core look with a smart jacket tweak, and plenty of 'absolute banger' energy about the whole lineup. Namor getting closer to the comics also stuck out, with fans pointing to the black-and-gold aesthetic as a big swing that works.

The bigger picture

Between the characters spotlighted here and the sheer number of suits on display, this art pretty clearly plants Doom, Magneto, Cyclops, Namor, and the Fantastic Four in Avengers: Doomsday alongside Thor and the usual heavy hitters. The Russos - Anthony and Joe - are directing and wrapped filming earlier this week.

Release dates are locked as of now: Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars following on December 17, 2027.

If you are wondering how this all surfaced, it first popped up via coverage on SuperHeroHype before ricocheting around social feeds. Expect more pieces of this puzzle to leak as those crew goodies keep making their way online.
