Leaked ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Footage Reveals First Look at Cyclops and Beast in the MCU

Raw VFX footage from ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ has emerged online, quickly spreading across social media. Marvel Hype Insider on X describes it as the first confirmed look at both Cyclops and Beast as they join the main MCU conflict.

The brief clip, marked with “DO NOT DUPLICATE,” has sparked excitement online, showing the X-Men integrated into the film’s massive crossover battle. Marvel’s swift DMCA actions suggest the footage is indeed authentic.

A clearer version of the footage circulating online has led observant fans to claim that Cyclops can be seen mouthing his iconic rallying cry, “To me, my X-Men.” This moment has sent the internet into a frenzy if confirmed. Other recognizable figures in the chaotic scene include Nightcrawler, Mystique, and Mister Fantastic.

It’s important to note that the footage features unfinished visual effects, typical for a film that is still months away from its theatrical release. Thus, what is visible is a work in progress rather than the polished final version audiences will see in December.

The film boasts a large ensemble cast, including James Marsden as Cyclops, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Channing Tatum as Gambit, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Florence Pugh as Yelena, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, among many others. Both parts of the saga are directed by the Russo brothers, who are returning to the MCU after ‘Avengers: Endgame.’

Reports indicate that the Russo brothers made adjustments during reshoots, including changes to how the Avengers-versus-New Avengers confrontation unfolds. This serves as a reminder that any leak reflects the film’s status at a specific point in production rather than its final form.

With the only official trailer still locked behind a CinemaCon exclusive from earlier this year, this leak has achieved what Marvel’s legal response aimed to prevent: providing a genuine first look at the collision of the X-Men, the Avengers, and Doctor Doom. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is set to hit theaters on December 18.
