Two new TV spots dropped this weekend for Avengers: Doomsday featuring both a MLB promo and our first Kirby Krackle in the MCU. Doomsday hits this December and by the reports of pre-sales, looks set to be a bigger opening weekend than Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Reportedly outselling Dune 3 between 3/4-1 is the prediction.
There’s not a lot ‘new’ here in terms of plot, but the scenes are mostly ‘new’. Frankly, given the hype for the film, they don’t need to show too much to get people into theatres in December.
The first one is cross-promo with MLB. However, it has come out that the Baseball scenes featuring the Fantastic Four ARE from Avengers: Doomsday. Just don’t expect to see the parts with the real plyers in the cinema cut.
The latter portion of this spot got an extended spot of it’s own. Watch Doctor Doom’s hands here for a look at the first Kirby Krackle to appear in the MCU.

Fun little spot, with a bit of humour. Yet, I was most impressed with that Kirby Krackle. For those reading on, still confused, the Kirby Krackle is named after Marvel artist Jack Kirby. It was an effect he often drew to represent cosmic powers of some kind. Usually being a multitude of black dots. You can see Doom’s hands generating this visual effect in this teaser.
They are really keeping a lot of the film, as I know it to be structured, back in all the trailers and spots so far. As said above, I’m not sure they need to give us anything else at this point to sell the film. We’re at the point where the opening weekend will be huge no matter what, after that, as always these days will depend on word of mouth to some extent.
I absolutley expect Doomsday to make more globally than Brand New Day. Whether it will catch Avatar or Endgame remains to be seen. What do you think of the two new TV spots for Avengers: Doomsday? Thoughts below as always.
