Summary

  • Robert Downey Jr. celebrates his 60th birthday with a Doom-themed birthday invitation.
  • Rumors suggest the leaked Avengers: Doomsday look in his birthday invite is RDJ’s official Doctor Doom appearance
  • Downey Jr. has been seen rocking curls in the UK, where the Avengers: Doomsday has been filming.

Robert Downey Jr., who recently turned 60, threw an extravaganza to celebrate this significant milestone. Yet, whispers suggest that a sneak peek of his character’s appearance in the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday” might have been unintentionally revealed through his birthday invitation.

Robert Downey Jr., one of the founding Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), played the beloved superhero Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. In “Avengers: Endgame,” he makes a tragic sacrifice to save the universe, leading to his on-screen death, which left fans devastated. However, Marvel shocked everyone by announcing Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con. Instead of reprising his role as Iron Man, he will take on the character of supervillain Victor Von Doom, more famously known as Doctor Doom. The return was kept under wraps so well that even other Marvel stars were taken aback by the revelation. Yet, if rumors are to be believed, Downey Jr. might not be very successful in keeping his new role as Doctor Doom a secret, as whispers suggest that his birthday invite could potentially give it away.

Nexus Point News posted a photo of Robert Downey Jr.’s birthday invite on the platform X (previously known as Twitter). The invite resembles a comic, highlighting Downey’s new role in the MCU prominently. Doctor Doom is depicted in a green suit with a purple cape, and his curly hair is noticeable since he isn’t wearing a mask. There are also two other Doctor Doom characters below him, one with a mask and another wearing a magic hat. The publication pointed out that Downey Jr. was spotted sporting the same hairstyle merely two days prior. It has been announced that ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is currently being filmed in the UK. Given this, it’s plausible that Downey Jr.’s recent hairdo could have been on the set of ‘Doomsday’. This suggests that the appearance of Doctor Doom in the invitation and Downey Jr.’s hairstyle a few days ago might indicate his official look for ‘Doomsday’.

Eric Lewis, an American jazz musician, has verified that he received a Doctor Doom-themed birthday invitation from Robert Downey Jr., as shown in a photo he posted on Instagram. The artwork on the invite features Doctor Doom with curls, which suggests it’s for the upcoming film “Doomsday.” The fact that the event was referred to as “Robert’s Diamond Jubilee” and took place in the UK where Downey Jr. is currently filming “Doomsday,” lends credence to this assumption. Robert Downey Jr.’s birthday celebration was held at Petersham Nurseries Richmond, a location featuring restaurants, shops, a deli, and a plant nursery in the UK.

In social media posts, Robert Downey Jr.’s new hairstyle resembles the artwork of Doctor Doom on his birthday invitation, suggesting he may have revealed his character’s appearance in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. Typically, Doctor Doom is depicted wearing a green cloak and hooded mask to hide his disfigured face, covered in scars. However, there are instances in the comics where he appears without his mask and cloak, revealing his dark brown wavy or curly hair. Given this, it seems that Downey Jr. might have given fans a sneak peek at Doctor Doom’s official look.

Although the invite artwork shows signs of scarring on Doctor Doom’s forehead, nose, and lips, suggesting traces of blood, there is no evidence of such imperfections or disfigurement in Downey Jr.’s image where he sports visible curls. This discrepancy might explain why Downey Jr. was comfortable adopting Doctor Doom’s appearance for the birthday invitation, as it doesn’t reveal much. Fans are now anticipating Downey Jr. to don curls as Doctor Doom. However, we have yet to see leaked images of Doctor Doom’s disfigured face, a detail that Downey Jr. will likely keep under wraps until the movie’s premiere.

Avengers: Doomsday will be released on May 1, 2026
