The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe ensemble, titled “Avengers: Doomsday” by the Russo Brothers, is in production, and it appears that the actor portraying the movie’s main antagonist, Robert Downey Jr., who has previously starred in the MCU, is enjoying a well-deserved break, as evidenced by a lighthearted video he shared on social media. I find it fascinating to catch a glimpse of the A-lister’s leisure time. Moreover, I must confess that I am particularly intrigued by the subtle “Iron Man” references that eagle-eyed fans have noticed.
Robert Downey Jr. shared an enjoyable video on his Instagram featuring him strolling along a beach in the morning. The tune accompanying the clip is his son, Indio Downey’s, song titled “Change of Scenery.” In the post, the Iron Man actor wrote, “What’s your summer change of scenery? Mine = early-morning beach walk. Yours = ??” You can watch the entire video below:
Robert Downey Jr. posted a cheerful Instagram video showing him taking a leisurely stroll on the beach in the morning hours. The song playing throughout is his son, Indio Downey’s, track called “Change of Scenery.” In the caption, the Avengers star posed the question, “What’s your summer change of scenery? Mine = early-morning beach walk. Yours = ??” Take a look at the full video below:
Both versions convey the same information in a slightly different way, maintaining clarity and readability.

In a moment that made me swell with pride, something else caught my eye even more – keen-eyed Marvel enthusiasts connecting intriguing details to Iron Man. One account, @Drdoomarchive, shared their findings on the platform X (previously Twitter). They noticed some fascinating jewelry worn by the actor in the video from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The fan account posted: “the ring is the ARC REACTOR, and what about that pendant?” It seems they’ve got a point, and I can’t help but appreciate that thoughtful accessory.
It’s no surprise that other enthusiasts are chiming in with their thoughts too. Let’s explore some of the most insightful comments, which are certainly making me ponder about potential future developments for this actor, whose tenure as Doom could extend beyond the immediate future.
- @aliciapino: “And beard too”
- @catherinespaws: “It looks like either a skull or an iron man helmet”
- @mufcbecks7: “Tony stark lives forever”
- @Zeynubella1: “I think Iron Man helmet”
It might appear to some as an obvious connection, given the video features Oppenheimer strolling on the beach, which has ignited numerous fan speculations. After all, he’s wearing a fire engine red ensemble – Iron Man’s favorite color – and sports Stark’s signature goatee. So, it’s understandable why fans jump to conclusions!
It was correctly noted by some commenters that the goatee is a common style among Hollywood leading men, and he’s also wearing an accessory resembling an Iron Man helmet pendant and a ring that seems to be an arc reactor. This certainly brings to mind his famous character, considering he’s set to reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Victor Von Doom. However, it’s possible that he might be subtly indicating a multiverse variant of Tony Stark!

Indeed, it’s tricky to determine whether Robert Downey Jr., in fact, is subtly hinting at real-life Easter eggs for fans by drawing parallels between Tony Stark and his upcoming villain role. Alternatively, he might simply be wearing Iron Man merchandise out of pure enjoyment. The truth will only reveal itself when the superhero film premieres as part of the 2026 movie lineup.
In a future turn of events, Robert Downey Jr reappears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday“, slated for release on December 18, 2026.
