The official trailer for Avengers: Doomsday is here, and some eagle-eyed Marvel fans have pointed out what they believe to be the final shot (or one of the very last shots, at least) of the new Marvel movie.
The two-minute trailer sees the Avengers, New Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men all face off while the looming presence of Doctor Doom hangs over them. In one specific shot, Johnny Storm is seen holding his sister Sue while a (rather nuclear-disaster-looking) flash of light encompasses them. Twitter user NebsGoodTakes took the liberty of lowering the brightness on the trailer, which allegedly reveals debris from what appears to be a fatal explosion happening behind them. You can check it out below.

Neb went on to clarify: "Assuming the movie ends like in Hickman's Avengers run, the debris on the left is the final incursion wiping out 616." This is in reference to Jonathan Hickman's 2012-2025 Avengers comic book run, which sees Tony Stark and Captain America assemble a super team of Avengers (spanning heroes all across the globe) in order to defeat a villain conglomerate known as the Beyonders... of which Doctor Doom is a part of. To sum it up: "incursions" are coming to destroy the Earth as they know it, and the only way they can stop it is by destroying another world. They ultimately decide against this, and Earth-616 goes kaboom.
It's very possible that the movie follows these events... In fact, anything is possible given that we still don't know the true meaning behind Doctor Doom's arrival, or what his true endgame really is. It's also possible that an incursion is what destroyed the X-Mansion in the trailer as well. Only time will tell.
Doomsday arrives this December 18. For more on Marvel Phase 6, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows.
