The cast of Avengers: Doomsday has teamed up for a theater ad asking audiences to silence their phones.

The short promo is now playing in theaters with Avengers: Endgame Encore, which also includes extra footage filmed during the production of Avengers: Doomsday.

Costumed members of the Avengers, New Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four settle in for a movie—until a smartphone rings and prompts a chorus of complaints.

Among the heroes featured are Channing Tatum’s Gambit, Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Florence Pugh’s Yelena, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, James Marsden’s Cyclops, Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique, and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor.

That's a big budget to spend on a little PSA about being a nice movie-goer and turning off your phone, was it necessary like do we really need to do this in 2026, if someone isn't going to turn off their phone, believe me the Avengers arn't going to persuade them, Because clearly they are already subscribing to the lifestyle of a big J-erk.

Sadly we do need it in 2026 and sadly people don't listen

sad truth. That's why I said even if you tell them, it won't change much.

Maybe if the Avengers beat them up, it would change them

Nah they'd just file a lawsuit, and try to sue the pants off them, yet again proving people are bum bums, and having the Avengers go into a financial crisis and also get scorned publicly ruining their reputation. and then that would be the end of the Avengers, and we'd just be left with The Legion of Substitute heroes who were imported from the DC Universe, and then another lawsuit happened because of non sanctioned Universe hopping.
