Marvel Studios’ first Avengers: Doomsday teaser featuring the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers didn’t just confirm his comeback — it detonated across social media.
Within just one hour of release, the teaser generated over one million likes across Marvel Studios’ official platforms, signaling massive fan excitement and immediate engagement.
The response reinforces what fan reactions have already made clear: audiences want Chris Evans back, and Steve Rogers still matters to the MCU.
One Hour Social Media Numbers
In its first hour online, the Avengers: Doomsday teaser posted by Marvel Studios delivered staggering engagement numbers:
On Instagram, the teaser pulled in over 1.2 million likes and more than 22,000 comments.
On Facebook, it generated over 114,000 likes with more than 4,300 comments.
On YouTube, the video surpassed 229,000 likes, more than 11,000 comments, and crossed 1.1 million views almost immediately.
On X, the teaser racked up 203,000 likes, 3,800 comments, 63,000 reposts, and more than 5.2 million views.
For a short character-focused teaser, the numbers are massive, especially compared to recent MCU promotional efforts.

Fans Clearly Want Steve Rogers Back
The scale and speed of the response underline one thing: Steve Rogers still resonates more than any post-Endgame replacement.
Marvel officially ended Chris Evans’ run in Avengers: Endgame, passing the Captain America mantle to Sam Wilson. Since then, fan engagement around the character has never reached the same level.
The immediate explosion surrounding Evans’ return suggests Marvel knows exactly which lever to pull heading into Avengers: Doomsday — legacy.
The MCU Still Runs Through Steve Rogers
Marvel Studios is currently rolling out Avengers: Doomsday through serialized character teasers rather than a traditional trailer drop.
Starting with Steve Rogers appears to have been a calculated move. The engagement spike instantly reframed Avengers: Doomsday as an event rooted in the MCU’s foundation rather than another reset or soft reboot.
The hype for the MCU hasn’t been this big since Endgame.
With the next teaser expected to focus on Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Marvel is clearly leaning into its most popular legacy characters to rebuild momentum ahead of the full trailer.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.
