Robert Downey Jr. has shared a cryptic Instagram post, seemingly teasing something Avengers: Doomsday-related.
The video shows the Academy Award winner on a movie set (we're not sure if it's Doomsday), and while he doesn't actually say anything, the caption reads: "Patience, subjects… Time will tell. Doom won’t…."
Not too surprisingly, the brief video has sparked speculation that the final Doomsday trailer might be right around the corner.
Internet scoopers have been sharing their predictions (it's expected to release at some point this month if you can believe it), but nobody reliable has weighed in yet.
There's always a chance he isn't hinting at a new trailer, of course, since the movie opens in just over a month.
In a recent interview, RDJ revealed who he prefers playing: Iron Man or Doctor Doom.
"It was really weird being the guy — everyone else is hanging out, they’re the good heroes, and I’m [in] this mask and this hood. I’m like, 'They’re all on one side of the camera, and I guess they’re all mad at me or something,'" he recalled. "But I’ll say this: getting to know [Hayley Atwell] better, all of [mine and Chris Evans’] history, because you’re a legit dude."
"Because you don’t say yes because you can; it has to feel right. And I think that in Doomsday, what happens with this key relationship is so exciting and unexpected and beautiful. I will say Doom, for now, because I got to really observe what I’ve been missing the whole time, just everybody else."
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
"Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered. This epic film will lay the foundation for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
