Avengers: Doomsday Promoted With Baseball-Themed Crossover Featuring MLB Players During World Series

Marvel Studios debuted a unique promo for Avengers: Doomsday during Game 1 of the 2026 World Series on Fox tonight between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays. The ad is an Avengers-MLB crossover set on Earth-828 at Ebbets Field (the former home of the Dodgers when they were in Brooklyn; it was torn down on our Earth in 1960 – the promo is seemingly set in the same time period as The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as you can see New York Giants players in the background).

In it, Mr. Fantastic, sporting a Brooklyn Dodgers cap, takes the mound to throw a stretchy-armed first pitch while The Thing hypes up the players as current, modern MLB players Freddie Freeman, Jacob Misiorowski, Bryce Harper, Randy Arozarena, and Junior Caminero look on from the sidelines. They're interrupted when Dr. Doom attacks from the sky, with clips from the film interspersed throughout the promo.

Avengers: Doomsday returns Chris Evans as Steve Rogers (which is referenced in a clip from the film used in the MLB promo), while Robert Downey Jr.
