Avengers: Doomsday will release in India on Thursday, 17 December 2026, a day ahead of its US debut, giving it a four-day opening weekend. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 39th film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and features an ensemble cast including Pedro Pascal, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie and Florence Pugh.

The film faces a box office benchmark set by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened at Rs 58 crore nett (Rs 70.50 crore gross) and closed as the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India at Rs 483.50 crore nett (Rs 643.75 crore gross. Avengers: Doomsday forms part of MCU Phase Six, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars expected on 17 December 2027.
Both outlets report the same core fact: Avengers: Doomsday will release in India on 17 December 2026, a day ahead of the US. The coverage from News9 Live and Pinkvilla is uniform straight reporting, identical on release date, the Spider-Man box office benchmark, cast and MCU timeline. Neither outlet adds independent commentary or editorialising, both present the film’s commercial target and ensemble list as trade information. The key point both leave open is whether the film can surpass Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Rs 483.50 crore nett India total, which depends on reception after 17 December.
