Robert Downey Jr. Shares Photo From ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Set With Nod To ‘Hawkeye’s Jeremy Renner

Robert Downey Jr. flexed his bicep while sharing a new photo from *Avengers: Doomsday* on Instagram, where he also gave a subtle nod to Jeremy Renner as he read his book *My Next Breath*. The actor, playing Doctor Doom in the upcoming film, shared a snapshot of himself reading while working out, adding that it felt "very instructive" after Renner’s memoir about overcoming severe injuries from a near-fatal accident. Renner, himself an Avenger, replied affectionately to Downey's post and opened up about his financial struggles following the accident, though details remain unclear due to conflicting accounts from sources. *Avengers: Doomsday* is set for release on May 1, 2026.
