Taking to his Instagram account on Tuesday, May 13, Downey, who is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom, shared a photo of himself, giving fans glimpse into the filming.

In the image, Downey could be seen flexing his bicep while reading co-star Renner's memoir, My Next Breath, in front of his trailer with a poster of the comic book version of Doctor Doom that read, “Do not Knock. Trust yourself.”

“Reading Renner’s book and feeling stronger already…,” Downey wrote along the photo.

He further added, “what a journey to wisdom … very instructive…a must read! @jeremyrenner.

Renner, who is best known to Marvel fans as Hawkeye, responded with a heartfelt comment under his post.

“Long way from the ICU…. At least we know how this story ends my brother. Love you,” he penned.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
