Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr., who is gearing up to make a dramatic return to the Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe with Avengers: Doomsday, has recently celebrated Easter 2026 by dropping some of the exciting details of the upcoming film.
The actor took to his Instagram and dropped a hint. Robert will return to the franchise, but not in his iconic Iron Man suit. He will play the new role of Doctor Doom.
The actor posted a photo of Doctor Doom with multiple Easter eggs in a basket. Many Marvel characters who might make an appearance in the movie were represented by symbols on the eggs.
Captain America's blood-stained shield, Spider-Man, Black Panther, the Avengers (cracked egg), the X-Men, the Fantastic Four (crossed out), Namor, and Shang-Chi were a few clear examples. Fans have observed two eggs with a Spider-Man theme, which is interesting.
He further created excitement among the fans by ditching writing anything in the caption.
