Avengers: Doomsday Stars Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth to Visit Korea on December 7 Ahead of Release

The two leads of Avengers: Doomsday are heading to Korea. Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, along with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, will visit Korea on December 7, ahead of the film’s Korean release on December 16, 2026. Per StarNews, the trio will meet Korean media and fans at a press conference and red carpet event, with detailed schedules to follow.

For Evans, it is his first trip to Korea for a Marvel film in 11 years, since Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015 — a return for the actor who defined the MCU’s first decade as Steve Rogers, from The First Avenger to Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Hemsworth is making his first Korea visit to promote a Marvel film: he was there last year filming season two of the Disney+ series Chris Hemsworth: Limitless, but has never toured Korea for a Marvel release.

The visit lands nine days before the film opens in Korea, and it is the heaviest promotion Marvel can deploy — its returning Captain America, its Thor and the producer behind every MCU film since Iron Man. Directed by the Russo brothers, the film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and opens in the United States on December 18, two days after Korea. The campaign has built through the autumn: a World Series preview on October 23, a Thor-led TV spot on October 24, and the 30-second “In Theaters December 18” spot on Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube channel on October 25, which passed 14 million views in three days. Secret Wars follows on December 17, 2027.

Korea is one of Marvel’s most important overseas markets, long treated as a launchpad rather than a stopover: Age of Ultron filmed there, and Korean openings regularly outpace other Asian territories. Sending Evans and Hemsworth together signals that Marvel is running this rollout as an event, not a release.

Here is the Filmverse take: the Korea visit is Marvel telling the world that Doomsday is the film it is betting the franchise on. A joint Evans-Hemsworth-Feige tour is not a routine press stop; it is a statement that the studio wants the opening week to feel like a global occasion, and Korea, with its early December 16 date, gets to light the fuse. For Indian audiences, the timing matters: the film lands in the middle of the Christmas box-office race, and the Korea visit is the starting gun for a month of Marvel saturation.
