Hype Train for Doomsday Starting too Early

Am I the only one who thinks that Marvel is starting the hype train for Doomsday far too early? Spider-Man is the next movie, and they haven't even started the hype train there. Yet, they're already releasing teaser trailers for Doomsday. I feel like with a year of promotion it's all going to feel like noise by the end of the year. I don't think that it's going to have the desired effect of putting more butts in the seats.

They want to market this as much as possible

iFozy2026-01-01 08:52

This is the big one, they’re putting everything into this to try and get some semblance of the infinity saga hype.

iamatoad_ama2026-01-01 08:57

It’s their flagship film, and easily in the top 3 event films across all ongoing big budget franchises, and it’s following a series of films that earned them more than 6 billion combined. It’s hardly surprising they’re starting the hype train early.

I also think you’re misunderstanding the purpose of teasers. It’s not that releasing these 4 teasers today will result in x% more tickets next December. The teasers are just getting a buzz started. They’re likely building up to a Super Bowl trailer. Then from July to December we’ll get a full on marketing onslaught. The teasers are a very small cog in that machine.

It's only teasers for now and I doubt they plan to release any full trailer in the next few months.

Most people think it's building up to the super bowl official trailer or Dr doom trailer

Cuz more trailers are starting to appear

AFullCado2026-01-01 11:18

Maybe but I think the super bowl it's a bit early unless they plan more trailers after the super bowl.

STARBOY_1002026-01-01 17:05

Official trailer won’t be before comic con in July

eagc72026-01-01 09:01

They are starting too early because they want the film to be in the conversation alll year long after their most recent struggles.

I think if the MCU was in a great enough shape as it was during Phase 3, then we would be waiting until July before we got our first look

scrotanimus2026-01-01 09:06

I think they are using Spider-Man to pave the way for Doomsday.

ExpressMud80382026-01-01 09:07

they're compensating for the lack of buildup the past 7 years

Pale-Drag18432026-01-01 09:09

It's starting?

Responsible-Bonus2782026-01-01 09:12

I don't think so. They've just had 2 small teaser clips so far. We barely have any idea what's going on. I think they are playing this just right by dripfeeding people bit by bit. The major marketing push is yet to start.

Optimal_Lifeguard5752026-01-01 10:49

the issue I am having is how deeply underwhelming the teasers have been so far, like I wish they had just kept it and released something substantial to get the hype revving up nearer to the date

AgentP202026-01-01 12:11

Do you know what's coming next week?

Optimal_Lifeguard5752026-01-01 13:02

the xmen teaser? I saw the leaked video and whilst it was the best one so far....I still found it incredibly boring

AgentP202026-01-01 13:07

How is that not substantial? Atp what do you want to see from the teaser?

Optimal_Lifeguard5752026-01-01 13:18

it just didn't work for me, we already know the X-men are going to be in the film so it was hardly a surprise, all of the teasers have just been either dialogue and vibes or both....at least there was the 1 action shot of cyclops which was nice but eh, so far all of the teasers have dampened my hype a bit....I'll still see it opening night though.

AgentP202026-01-01 14:26

Then these teasers aren't for you if they already have your ticket.

Optimal_Lifeguard5752026-01-01 14:29

it'd be nice to be more excited tbh

AgentP202026-01-01 15:20

You will probably get more excited when they drop an actual trailer. These are for general audience who completely checked out who has no idea who is in the movie or a nee avengers movie is even coming out.

JyconX2026-01-01 15:54

The movie is still about a year from its release. I'm more than okay with this "slow but still steady and visible" type of marketing. Wanting an immediate action-based traditional teaser at this point is just pure impatience.

Wooden-Radish-90082026-01-01 11:50

Nope. Give me a teaser every week.

Pleasant-Answer-9182026-01-01 13:13

spider-man is still on loan from sony, sony handles promo, 2 different marketing teams

Intentionallyabadger2026-01-01 15:00

Does Spider-Man even need any hype lol.

It’ll earn a billion easy.

STARBOY_1002026-01-01 17:05

Can’t wait for the hype train between July comic-con (official trailer release) to the release in December!

ChaoticCaptain1772026-01-01 17:22

Doomsday has bigger stakes and essentially a bigger event movie for the MCU than Spider-Man brand new day

Kurandaand2026-01-01 18:42

The only thing I find funny is that all these teasers and images are coming out at the same time we know additional shooting/reshoots is gearing up. A LOT could change.

DigificWriter2026-01-01 22:24

Sony controls the marketing for Spider-Man movies, and they'll market Brand New Day when they want to.

Marvel Studios controls the marketing for Avengers: Doomsday, and they've decided to market it now.

There's no 'too early' or 'too late' here.

unbuttered_bread2026-01-01 22:25

I think starting early is extremely smart by them. Because now they can be like “Oh if you guys don’t understand what’s happening after we gave you a *year* to watch everything then that’s not our fault”

They will get more people who never really cared for the MCU to start buying Disney+ subscriptions to catch up

Toadrage_2026-01-01 23:03

I haven’t really been keeping up with marvel recently so when I saw the teasers rolling in I thought that it was only a couple of months away.

Then I saw it’s not for another year.

Ostiethegnome2026-01-09 04:37

All I know is I'm getting tired of all of these "leaked" teaser trailers. Just release them officially each week so we don't have to play this stupid game where youtube channels have to pretend they aren't in the loop or remind people "not to watch" leaked trailers and instead go to see avatar each week.
