Hollywood superstars Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have extended warm Diwali greetings to their Indian fans, a special gesture ahead of the release of their much-anticipated film, ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
The actors, known for their iconic roles, will be seen as Doctor Doom and Steve Rogers, respectively, in the new Marvel cinematic offering.
In a heartfelt video message, Downey Jr. and Evans addressed their Indian audience, saying, “Namaste India! What we love about Diwali is it marks the closing of one chapter and beginning of another…that’s something we know a lot about, except instead of moving from dark to light, I think it might be going in the other direction…Happy Diwali and we will see you in Avengers: Doomsday…You Bet!”
Adding to the excitement, ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is slated for release in Indian cinemas on December 17, a day prior to its US debut. This allows Indian Marvel enthusiasts to experience the epic showdown ahead of American audiences. While plot details remain under wraps, it is confirmed that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will emerge as a formidable antagonist, challenging the combined might of the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and X-Men. Speculation also surrounds the role of actress Huller, with rumors suggesting her character could be linked to Doctor Doom’s mother or another Latverian Witch, further fueling anticipation for the film.
