UPDATE: The leak trail continues, as a beat-by-beat rundown of the leaked trailer has now surfaced from the same channel behind the earlier Gambit, Professor X, and Magneto images.
Warning: Potential spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday below.
Marvel finally showed the world something official from Avengers: Doomsday, and within hours, fans put it side by side with the leaked footage the studio has spent the last month pretending doesn’t exist.
The verdict: it’s a match.
The sprawling team illustration unveiled at BilibiliWorld in Shanghai — and shared in full HD by Andy Park as his final Marvel Studios piece — doesn’t just reveal the official character designs for the first time, as Park says. It confirms the designs fans already saw in June, when a 72-second clip of Doctor Doom unleashing Sentinels on the X-Men tore across social media.
Reddit’s r/LeaksAndRumors — the same forum that hosted the clearer version of the leak last month — wasted no time connecting the dots.
“Black shirt Steve. White Jacket Reed. Dooms mask, Cyclops, Gambit are exactly the same from the clip as well,” the post reads. “Which in turn confirms the plot leak as well. It’s all real.”
Here are the receipts.
The Art Matches The Leaked Clip, Point For Point
Start with Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, standing closest to Doom in a plain black t-shirt, no Captain America suit, no shield, while Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson carries the stars and stripes overhead.
That’s exactly how Steve appeared in the leaked Sentinel assembly shot, where the returning Endgame Steve — not Captain America — summons Mjolnir while Thor calls Stormbreaker. The new art even keeps the weapons split: Thor holds Stormbreaker up top while Mjolnir rests on the ground beneath Steve’s faction, waiting for a worthy hand.

Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards wears the same white jacket from the footage.
Doom’s mask is the same design fans watched command the Sentinel assault.
James Marsden’s Cyclops stands front and center with a hand on his visor; the leaked clip closes on his optic blast.
Channing Tatum’s Gambit, coat and cards and staff, matches frame for frame, flanked by the same X-Men crew from the clip: Mystique, Beast, and Nightcrawler.
Even Shang-Chi, spotted in the clearer leak image, gets his official confirmation here.
Our breakdown of the higher-quality leak already flagged that the costumes matched previously leaked promo and merchandise designs. Marvel’s first official artwork settles it: the looks in that footage are the looks in the movie.
The Chain Reaction: Clip To Plot Leak
This is where it snowballs.
The footage the art just validated is the same material Disney hit with copyright takedowns in June, takedowns that were already the first tacit admission the leaks were real.
And that clip lines up with the February plot document that John Campea called “the full plot outline of Avengers: Doomsday” last week, with co-host Robert Meyer Burnett backing him on air.
The new art quietly corroborates two more of that document’s claims. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is tucked dead center in the piece, lurking beneath Doom’s mask — placement that backs the leak’s claim that Loki’s role is big, not “small.” And the two heroes standing closest to Doom are Steve and Reed — fitting, since the plot leak opens with Steve living in the Fantastic Four’s universe with Peggy and their son.
Official art is a roster statement. This one reads like a table of contents for the leak.
What Marvel Is Still Hiding
Just as telling is who isn’t in the art.
No Wolverine. No Spider-Men. No Deadpool. No Sentinels. In other words, the exact subjects of the other leaks Disney scrubbed, and presumably the beats Marvel is saving for Hall H on July 25, where the first public Doomsday trailer is expected.
Campea predicted months ago that everything would be out there by July. It’s July 11, Marvel’s own artwork is confirming the leaked designs one costume at a time, and Comic-Con is two weeks away.
For the record on labels: the artwork is official and confirmed. The footage remains unacknowledged by Marvel, and the plot document is still unverified, but every official drop keeps landing on the leak’s side of the ledger.
