It looks like there's more than meets the eye with the four 'Avengers: Doomsday' trailers. The upcoming Avengers film is nearly a year away, but Marvel Studios has made sure the hype has been top-notch. The latest comes from the Russo Brothers, who took to Instagram to share a major reveal on the four teasers.

"What you've been watching for the last four weeks… are not teasers. Or trailers. They are stories. They are clues…"They wrote on their latest post that featured the fourth trailer highlighting a reunion between the Wakandans and the Fantastic Four.  They ended the post by calling the fans to pay attention. As of now, there have been a few fans deciphering the logo of the film and analyzing the minute details.

Ever since the teasers dropped, fans have speculated whether the footage was from the movie or whether it was individual clips that revealed where the Avengers would be during the movie's events. Some believed these were scenes from the film, setting up their respective arcs. There is no real logline or synopsis from Marvel, leading to multiple theories and rumors online. Fans have theorized a Hydra version of Rogers to multiple X-Men deaths, among the many speculations. However, none of these have been officially confirmed.

The four trailers released so far focus on Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the X-Men, featuring Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), and Cyclops (James Marsden), and the fourth one on the Wakandans and a member of the Fantastic Four.  A full-length trailer for the movie is rumored to premiere with Super Bowl LX. Should the MCU indeed stick to its pattern, then the fourth trailer will be live on YouTube in January. 13.
