‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Trailer Hits 503 Million Views In 24 Hours, Second Only To ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’
Marvel’s first full trailer for "Avengers: Doomsday" racked up a massive 503 million views within its first 24 hours. The record-breaking debut marks the second-largest trailer launch in cinema history, trailing only Sony's upcoming superhero film "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" at 719 million views. The footage easily surpassed Disney's previous record holder, 2024's "Deadpool & Wolverine", whose Super Bowl teaser generated 365 million views including its television broadcast.
Disney and Marvel initially kicked off the film's promotional campaign last December with four brief teasers. This new trailer debuted on July 20, strategically arriving just before Marvel's highly anticipated panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
