Avengers: Doomsday has already crossed $100 million in pre-release ticket sales — two months before its December debut. That’s not a typo. The film, which will reunite Robert Downey Jr. And Chris Evans in the MCU after their supposed exits post-Endgame, is now officially a box office event, even without a single frame of footage seen by the public. Collider reports the milestone comes as Marvel bets big on nostalgia, spectacle, and a villainous turn from RDJ as Doctor Doom, a role that’s been teased since the end of Infinity War. The Russo Brothers are back at the helm, though their recent streaming projects haven’t fared well. Still, the momentum is real: Endgame’s re-release pushed it past Avatar to become the highest-grossing film ever, raking in $2.95 billion globally. Now, with Doomsday tracking for over $300 million domestically, it could challenge that record. Especially if Dune: Part Three doesn’t steal the spotlight. Both films are aiming for $100 million+ openings, meaning December might see the biggest weekend haul in years. But here’s the twist: this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about what happens when a franchise leans so hard on legacy that even its future feels like a callback. And while fans are buzzing about leaked post-credit snaps hinting at Jailer-2, or Mohan’s return in some alternate timeline, the only confirmed return is Downey Jr. As Doom. Whether that’s enough to carry the MCU into its next phase? We’ll know when the lights go down on December 18.
