"Patience, Subjects" - Robert Downey Jr. Shares Avengers: Doomsday Tease... Is The New Trailer Imminent?

Is the new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday right around the corner? Star Robert Downey Jr. has shared an Instagram post urging Doctor Doom's subjects to have some patience...

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."

Doomsday will star:

Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Florence Pugh as Yelena, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, James Marsden as Cyclops, Channing Tatum as Gambit, and Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent

Along with Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Letitia Wright as Black Panther, Tenoch Huerta Mejia as Namor, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, and, of course, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.

@Lucasberg - That whole Trilogy of WANDAVISION/AGATHA/VISIONQUEST is one of the BEST all around trilogies of the MCU. They had it from epispde 1.
Excellent character development that connects great with the other films. GOTG and The Captain America trilogies are just as good but these had the room to bring these characters full circle in a bigger way. I also love how all three of these shows are about how people deal with loss, grief, and change. 5 stats all around.

@BiffDitko - It is interesting that phase 4 and 5 seemed to be almost totally lost at sea, while phase 6 appears to be the MCU returning fully formed and taking all comers. While FF4 was a tad muted, it was also broadly a fine origin story. And then since then its just been Daredevil Born Again, Punisher one shot, Spidey Brand New Day, Visionquest... all leading up to Doomsday. Its pretty impressive to see. Reminding me of a decade ago when Marvel just kept winning again and again and again as DC continually struggled to find its footing lol

@Lucasberg - Man "IRONMAN" came out in 2008!
They went this far, they had misfires, who wouldn't?
After 20 yeats Secret Wars most likely WILL be a reboot of a sort, but not a HARD 360 like the Distinguished Competition has done TWICE.
Marvel had a plan and STUCK TO IT. Despite losses. Every time DC took a hit they messed their drawers and went back to the drawing board full of gibberish.
Now.they want to reset UHGAIN.
Meanwhile Merry Marvel Marches on.
Rant over.

@Lucasberg - I'm a HUUUUUUUGE F4 fan, so "First Steps" was just validation to me after 2 abortions and one kinda sorta ok (Rise Of The Silver Surfer) one?
Chris Evans was always the highlight of those films to me. Go figure.
But Dr.Doom is legit in my top 3 favorite comic book characters. So I'm trying my hardest to be cautiously optimistic.

@BiffDitko - I so agree. Oh I wish WB just would have continued with the actors and characters established with Snyder. With new writers and directors DC could have already been singing. Instead we have a Gunnified half baked new DCU that really hasn’t been an improvement to what was already there. It’s just created more confusion about the brand

Lucasberg - 11/12/2026, 8:36 PM
@BiffDitko - and yes FF4 was finally a movie that captured something about the comic team well! I wish they would have gone nuts in the third act but even as is, I am pleased with the final product.

Doom is easily one of the most beloved Marvel villains for good reason.

Doom deserves multiple film build up, not desperation tactics

@SteviesRightFoo - Doom has literally had the exact same amount of appearances thanos did before he showed up. Is it a little stunted because it's all been in the last two years? Yes but it's there. They have sufficiently built up doomsday
