Naturally, fans are excitingly looking forward to the release of Avengers: Doomsday. The upcoming MCU project promises to be one of the studio’s biggest projects to date, alongside Avengers: Secret Wars, though some fans have taken their excitement a little too far. In addition to one leaker, who appears to have received a warning from Marvel Studios directly, others are sharing AI content to fool Avengers: Doomsday fans.
As far as the original leaks go, they were shared by Instagram user @theyneversawitcomingg, who apparently snuck onto the set of the Doomsday production. The details of what they saw didn’t seem to be too revealing, though he did receive a formal warning from Marvel Studios.
Now, as you can see below, other internet users are complicating the situation by sharing AI content to fool other fans. It’s an unfortunate byproduct as AI advances and becomes more of an everyday part of our lives. While some of the creations aren’t particularly well-done, there are some that have fans scratching their heads as to whether or not they’re actually real:

These leaks include so-called glimpses at the film’s cast members, production art pieces, and other social media posts that are gaining engagement just by tricking fans. With the production of Avengers: Doomsday having only just begun, it looks like times could get rather interesting (and confusing) as we approach the film’s newly-announced release date.
What we do know is that quite a few cast members have been announced, and it looks like several superhero teams will be involved, including the Avengers, the Thunderbolts aka New Avengers, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four. Only time will tell how all of their pieces will fit together, however, including their separate continuities.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the highly-anticipated MCU blockbuster as we have them. Though the ongoing leaks and AI-generated pieces have certainly confused the audience somewhat, fans are no doubt still excited to see what will be one of the most ambitious superhero crossover events yet when Avengers: Doomsday releases.
