Overview
- Robert Downey Jr. shared the artwork on Instagram on Monday, showing Doctor Doom holding a basket of eggs painted with Marvel character logos.
- The eggs include symbols for Captain America, Black Panther, the X‑Men, Namor, Shang‑Chi, Ant‑Man, Loki and Thor, plus Doctor Strange and two Spider‑Man designs, with the Fantastic Four logo crossed out.
- Shang‑Chi star Simu Liu reposted the image on Tuesday using an annotated version that highlighted Spider‑Man, which boosted fan expectations but did not amount to a confirmation.
- Outlets and fans are parsing which Spider‑Man the art suggests, noting the logo resembles Andrew Garfield’s suit while others point to Tom Holland’s updated insignia.
- Downey is confirmed to play Doctor Doom in the Russo‑directed ensemble that folds in Avengers, X‑Men and Fantastic Four elements, and Marvel has not announced any Spider‑Man or Doctor Strange casting for the film slated for December 18, 2026.
