A huge event for movie fans has been taking place in Las Vegas in the US this week.

CinemaCon takes place each year and and gives fans a sneak peek at some of the big new movies coming in the near future.

Exclusive clips and trailers of movies are often shown to audiences at the event before they are released to the public.

There are also panels where actors and movie directors can talk about some of the new films coming out, and share any news and updates.

Here's a round-up of some of the announcements from the event...

Disney showed off the first proper trailer for the next Avengers film - Doomsday, at the event.

The clip gave fans their first look at Robert Downey Jr - who played Iron Man in 2019's Avengers: Endgame - as the new masked villain, Doctor Doom.

It also featured superheroes old and new and showed a fight between X-Men's Gambit and Shang-Chi, played by Channing Tatum and Simu Liu.

Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, also made an appearance in the clip, alongside Thor.
