Marvel Studios displayed several costumes for the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday during the opening preview night of San Diego Comic-Con [1, 2, 3].
The exhibition provides the first tangible look at the film's visual direction and suggests a significant integration of X-Men characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By showcasing these designs at the convention floor, the studio aims to generate fan engagement and momentum ahead of the movie's release [4, 5].
Among the featured displays were costumes for Cyclops and Gambit, as well as a suit for Captain America [3]. The exhibit also included a head for a Sentinel, which reports describe as a redesign [4]. These additions signal a shift in the franchise's scope, bringing long-awaited mutant elements into the central Avengers narrative.
Another notable reveal was the costume for the Latverian Witch [5]. This specific design has already sparked theories among fans regarding the identity and role of the character within the plot of Avengers: Doomsday.
The event took place in San Diego, California, during the 2026 [1] convention. The display was part of a broader promotional push by Marvel Studios, which included the presentation of exclusive footage to attendees [6].
Attendees at the convention floor were able to view the comic-accurate designs up close, marking a transition from casting rumors to physical production assets [3]. The inclusion of both classic Avengers and X-Men attire suggests a crossover event of significant scale.

The public debut of these costumes confirms that the X-Men are no longer theoretical additions to the MCU but are central to the upcoming 'Doomsday' arc. The presence of a Sentinel and specific mutant costumes like Gambit and Cyclops indicates that the film will likely address the systemic conflict between humans and mutants, while the Latverian Witch costume ties the mutant narrative directly to the geopolitical and magical influence of Doctor Doom's home country.
