CinemaCon 2026 offered a sneak peek at several highly anticipated movies, including updates on both The Mandalorian and Grogu and Avengers: Doomsday. Notably, new footage from the latest Avengers film was shown, giving fans a first look at what they can expect.
The new footage revealed some exciting surprises, like the potential return of Black Widow even after her death in Avengers: Endgame. It also confirmed that Doomsday will feature a thrilling fight scene reminiscent of the best in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but with a unique spin.
Doomsday Will See A Yelena Versus Yelena Battle
Recently released clips from the upcoming Doomsday film reveal an exciting fight scene: Yelena Belova, Black Widow’s sister and a hero in her own right after appearing in Thunderbolts, will battle Mystique, who will shapeshift to look like Yelena during the fight.
This upcoming fight will echo a memorable scene from Black Widow, where Yelena and Natasha battled each other. Their fighting styles were so alike, it was like watching one person fight themselves. But this new scene promises to be even more reminiscent of a truly outstanding fight moment from across the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This Fight Will Mirror The Captain America Versus Captain America Fight Scene
The upcoming fight between Yelena and Mystique, disguised as Yelena, will be similar to the memorable fight between the two Captain Americas in Endgame. That original scene is widely considered one of the best in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not only for its action but also for its humor – particularly Captain America’s iconic line, “That is America’s a.”
These two scenes will have one major difference. In Endgame, Captain America was battling a past version of himself due to time travel. However, Yelena won’t be fighting a past self. Despite this difference, it’s a clever nod to a previous moment.
The MCU Is Prepared For How Much Rides On Doomsday
The recent preview of a fight between Yelena Belova and herself, along with other footage shown at CinemaCon, confirms that Marvel understands the immense significance of their next big event. They’re clearly putting in a lot of effort to ensure it lives up to previous successes, particularly Endgame, which many fans consider a high point for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s well known that the MCU has faced challenges finding its direction since Endgame, and with some key actors leaving the franchise, the pressure to deliver is even greater.
With its current approach, Doomsday has the potential to fix the problems the Marvel Cinematic Universe is facing. The return of popular actors like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, along with nostalgic scenes, shows Marvel is carefully crafting this new film to resonate with fans. While its success isn’t guaranteed, everything suggests the franchise is on the right track.
