Avengers: Doomsday Teaser 4 Teases the King of Wakanda's Game-Changing Mystery Meeting
Marvel Studios’ fourth Avengers: Doomsday teaser lands with a multiverse jolt as the King of Wakanda, M'Baku, and Shuri come face-to-face with The Thing, setting up a crossover that could reshape everything.
Marvel dropped new Avengers: Doomsday footage, and it quietly tees up a big one: Wakanda finally brushes up against the Fantastic Four. It is quick, it is specific, and it points straight at where this saga is heading.
What the new teaser shows
- This is the fourth Avengers: Doomsday teaser, now playing in theaters with Avatar: Fire and Ash.
- We see Namor, Namora, Shuri, and King M'Baku. Shuri narrates about losing the people who mattered most to her and having her own responsibilities, while noting a king prepares his people for the afterlife.
- The moment everyone will talk about: M'Baku meets a certain rock-covered New Yorker.
- Shuri throws the Wakanda Forever pose, then boards a ship.
- A title card promises both the Wakandans and the Fantastic Four will be back in Avengers: Doomsday.
- This reads as the first on-screen crossover between Wakanda and the FF. Only Ben Grimm is shown here, but you can safely expect the rest of the team later.
'King M'Baku, of Wakanda.'
'Ben. Yancy Street, between Broome and Grand.'
Yep, that is The Thing, and the Yancy Street drop is a very specific nod for longtime fans. Also worth flagging: the footage calls him King M'Baku, a status update tucked into a handshake.
How this ties into the bigger plan
The teaser keeps building on the multiverse mash-up the previous trailers were already hinting at. The Fantastic Four showing up is not random; various reports have Doctor Doom seeking their help to deal with incoming incursions, which fits the vibe here. None of that is officially confirmed in the teaser, but the setup strongly implies a larger alliance forming against a multiversal threat.
The Black Panther casting rumor (where we are right now)
There is chatter that Damson Idris is the new Black Panther. The Geeky Cast claims he will be spending a lot of time at Pinewood Studios this year, shooting multiple movies as Black Panther. Fuel for the fire: Idris recently appeared with Angela Bassett and Danai Gurira at Vogue World: Hollywood. Counterpoint: when asked about it at the TIME100 Next Gala, Idris laughed it off with a 'No, no. I don't know anything about it.' So, interesting smoke, but no official flame yet.
Avengers: Doomsday is set for December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars follows on December 17, 2027.
