Avengers: Doomsday Global Tour Will Stop in London

Superhero Round-up · Edition of Saturday 7 November 2026 · covering 1–7 November

Marvel Studios has put London on the map for Avengers: Doomsday, naming the capital as one of nine stops on a new global tour before the film opens in December. On Disney+, VisionQuest is into its final week, with a new finale promo promising “one final surprise” and a companion podcast landing beside the last episode. On the DC side, James Gunn has finally put a year on Clayface: 2021, before The Suicide Squad.

The Superhero News That Matters

Avengers: Doomsday global tour will stop in London

• New development: On Thursday 5 November, Marvel Studios announced the Doomsday Global Tour, a nine-city run ahead of the film’s December release. The studio revealed the cities one by one on its live Doomsday Clock countdown, then confirmed the tour with a short post: “The Doomsday Global Tour Is Coming”
• The nine cities: Las Vegas, São Paulo, Gold Coast, Rome, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Toronto and Los Angeles. London is one of only two European stops, with Rome
• What is not confirmed: Dates, venues and which cast members will appear at each stop have not been announced. Korean reports that Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Kevin Feige will visit Seoul on 7 December have not been confirmed by Marvel
• Where to watch in the UK: Avengers: Doomsday opens in UK cinemas on Wednesday 16 December 2026, two days before the US, including Infinity Vision screens

It is the first clear shape of Marvel’s December press push, and putting London on the list matters for UK fans who have watched the campaign build through last week’s Doomsday posters and cinema merch and this morning’s new Latveria footage in a Jeep commercial. The countdown clock itself has been rebuilt around the city skylines, the first real update to that stream since D23.

Until Marvel names dates and guests, treat any specific star-at-a-stop claim as unconfirmed. What we do know is that the tour has to clear Europe and Asia before those markets open on 16 December, so the London stop will not be far away.

Update: VisionQuest finale promo teases “one final surprise”, with a companion podcast on the same night

• What is new: Since our coverage of episodes 5 and 6, episode 7, “Immolation”, arrived on Disney+ on Wednesday 4 November. On Wednesday 5 November, Marvel Television released a 30-second finale promo promising “one final surprise” in the last episode, “Forever”
• The podcast: Marvel has also announced the VisionQuest Official Podcast, a one-off companion special hosted by Iman Vellani and Frank Alvarez, with Paul Bettany, James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica and showrunner Terry Matalas. It lands on Disney+, Marvel’s YouTube channel and podcast platforms at the same time as the finale
• Still to come: The finale streams on Disney+ on Tuesday 10 November at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific, which is the early hours of Wednesday 11 November in the UK
• Where to watch in the UK: All seven episodes so far stream on Disney+ in the UK; the finale follows early on Wednesday 11 November

We won’t spoil what the promo shows, but it is the last push before the series that completes Marvel’s WandaVision trilogy. The podcast is a useful catch-up for anyone who wants the cast and Matalas talking through the season once the credits have rolled. It also sits a little over a month before Avengers: Doomsday, which still carries Sir Patrick Stewart’s final screen performance as Professor X.

James Gunn confirms Clayface is set in 2021, before The Suicide Squad

• New development: Replying on Threads this week to a fan timeline that placed Clayface in 2021, ahead of The Suicide Squad in early 2022, James Gunn wrote: “Timelines give me anxiety, but I think this looks pretty good.” GamesRadar+ reported the exchange on Wednesday 5 November
• Why it matters: Gunn had already said the film takes place before Superman, making it the DCU’s first non-chronological release. Putting a year on it, and slotting it before his own 2021 film, is the clearest timeline note yet
• Still in cinemas: After a second US weekend of about $11 million, the body-horror origin story remains in UK and US cinemas. The wider DCU slate after it still points to Man of Tomorrow next July
• Where to watch in the UK: In UK cinemas now, rated 18

It is a small but useful clarification for anyone trying to watch the DCU in story order, and it follows Gunn’s recent confirmation that The Suicide Squad is DCU canon. For a fuller take on whether the film is worth a ticket, our Clayface Super Review is still the place to start.
