Lekkasjer av trailere fra AI Thor tar YouTube før Avengers: Doomsday Reveal

Marvel fan communities are circulating near-identical fake trailers for Avengers: Doomsday after a week of leaks and industry chatter convinced viewers they already know what Marvel’s next Thor-focused preview will contain. The videos, many of them generated using artificial intelligence, have rapidly spread across YouTube, fueled by speculation surrounding Disney’s marketing rollout for the next Avengers film.

The speculation followed the official launch of Doomsday marketing with a theatrical trailer confirming Chris Evans’ return as Steve Rogers. That trailer debuted in cinemas alongside Avatar: Fire and Ash. According to reporting from The Hollywood Reporter, Disney plans to rotate three additional Doomsday trailers into theaters over the following weeks. FeatureFirst reported that the four trailers will spotlight Steve Rogers, Thor, and Doctor Doom individually.

Within days, an alleged audio leak of the Thor trailer appeared online and circulated widely on Reddit. The clip was later echoed by Marvel tipster Daniel Richtman, lending it credibility in the eyes of fans. The audio depicts Thor delivering a quiet prayer to his father, Odin, during a reflective moment in a forest before an impending battle.

"Of all the crowns, the kingdoms, the pride, I ask for none.

Father, hear your son. I am not worthy of life, but still I beg you to let the thread lengthen.

Not for thunder, not for war... let me remain long enough to see my love once more."— Tom Phillips

Fans responded positively to what they interpreted as a more restrained and introspective version of Thor, distancing the character from the comedic approach of Thor: Love and Thunder and the brooding depiction seen in Avengers: Infinity War. The delivery suggests a weary and older hero, reflecting on loss rather than spectacle.

Without an official transcript, viewers are split on whether Thor is referring to his adopted daughter Love, introduced in Love and Thunder, or to Jane Foster, who died and entered Valhalla. Some have suggested the ambiguity is intentional, leaving room for either interpretation or a third option involving an as-yet-unintroduced character.

These interpretations have fed broader speculation about the role of children in Doomsday’s plot. Doctor Doom’s appearance at the end of The Fantastic Four: First Steps showed him attempting to abduct Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue. The recent reveal that Steve Rogers is now a father has intensified theories that Doom’s interest extends to the next generation of heroes. If Thor’s daughter has disappeared, fans believe it could place him directly in Doom’s path.

While fans debated the implications, confidence grew that the leaked audio accurately reflected the real trailer. That certainty produced a wave of fake videos attempting to recreate it. On YouTube, channels such as MCU Talk, Snap Saga, and Everything Always have each uploaded versions of the supposed trailer, collectively amassing hundreds of thousands of views. Many of the videos present themselves as shaky recordings from the back of a theater, deliberately degraded to appear authentic.

None of the trailers is genuine. Like earlier uploads of the leaked Steve Rogers trailer, any authentic footage would likely be removed quickly. Instead, the current wave relies on AI-generated visuals, recycled Thor imagery, and fabricated audio synced to imagined scenes. The striking similarity between the videos reflects how narrowly fans believe the real trailer will be staged.

The scale of the phenomenon coincides with a broader crackdown by YouTube. This week, two of the platform’s largest fake trailer channels, Screen Culture and KH Studio, were taken offline. Their removal ended operations that had collectively drawn billions of views by presenting fabricated trailers as real. The takedowns underscore growing pressure on platforms to limit misleading AI-generated content.

Despite the surge of imitation trailers, the genuine Thor-focused Doomsday preview is believed to be less than a week away from its theatrical debut. When it arrives, it will quickly reveal how accurate the AI recreations were. For now, the episode highlights how rapidly fan speculation, selective leaks, and generative tools can converge to overwhelm official marketing before studios release a single confirmed frame.
