What Did Marvel Officially Reveal at D23?
Contrary to the rumors, no full trailer or exclusive footage for Avengers: Doomsday was released or confirmed during the D23 event:
- Marvel presented a sizzle reel, mixing previous footage and audio highlights—without unveiling any new movie footage
- Attendees and reliable outlets confirmed no exclusive teaser was shown.
- A clip of Paul Rudd and the Russo Brothers was shown, and Paul Rudd praised the “jaw-dropping sets and incredible talent,” reiterating that the film is “the biggest we’ve ever done.”
What Do Fans and Observers Say?
Online discussions and Reddit commentary largely point to this audio being a fan-stitched compilation, merging older MCU lines to conjure excitement—rather than a true teaser:
“A lot of this just feels like audio from other movies stitched together. I’m 98% certain that it is.”Reddit
Another observer noted this kind of tactic isn’t unprecedented:
“We’ve had trailers like that in the past… The main trailer for Endgame was also like one third old footage and dialogue.”Reddit
Verdict: Fake (for now)
Without confirmation or release from Marvel Studios, this audio clip should be considered a rumor or fan-made leak, not an official teaser. Many analysts and eyewitnesses agree there was no new footage or audio revealed at D23, and what exists appears to be a creative remix of old content.
