Some theaters have already started posting showtimes for Avengers: Doomsday even though Avengers Doomsday tickets are not set to go on sale until Monday, July 20, 2026. The early listings have turned a routine ticket drop into a scramble before the sale has even opened.
That matters because fans are already bracing for a rush that could rival Avengers: Endgame, which helped knock sites such as Fandango and AMC Theaters offline in 2019 when early tickets went live. Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2026, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing and Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth among the ensemble cast, so the appetite for first-day tickets was already high before any showtimes appeared.
Avengers Updates said theaters had begun adding showtimes ahead of Monday's ticket release, and that is the detail fans keep circling. The listings do not mean every theater is ready, only that some have moved first, which is why the search for where the film will actually play has become part of the story before sales even begin. In plain terms, the demand is visible early, but the map is not complete.
That gap is what is feeding the nerves. One fan, @SavetheKND, said they had put $200 into Regal and worried their theater might not be chosen for Infinity Vision screenings, while another posted that there did not seem to be any theaters in NYC. If the best-known theaters are not all in the first wave, the panic over websites crashing on Monday may be louder than the actual ticket drop can support.
The likely answer is that Monday will sort the winners and losers fast. Some fans will land their tickets in minutes, some theaters will be left out of the first wave of Infinity Vision showtimes, and the only real surprise left is whether the traffic on July 20 gets close to the Avengers: Endgame stampede people are already expecting.
