In 2019, when Robert Downey Jr.

‘s Iron Man snapped his
fingers to save the planet from Thanos’s brunt, it was the end of a spectacular
era. Marvel continued with its other phases, but the absence of Stark and his
iconic humor that put all trouble at bay was gravely missed by the fans
worldwide. However, destiny took a satisfying turn when last year Downey was
announced to be returning to the MCU as Dr Doom, which he will be essaying in next year’s Avengers: Doomsday

. But as fans get a Downey update from the
movie set, a possibility of Hawkeye joining the team has developed.

The official account of Discussing Films on X has just shared a picture of Robert
Downey Jr. from the sets of Avengers: Doomsday

sitting outside a trailer and
flexing his ripped left bicep. This picture was first shared by him on his Instagram account. But other than his strong muscles, what caught
the fans’ attention was his reading fellow Avenger, Jeremy Renner’s memoir, My
Next Breath. From the picture, it is evident that Downey is working hard and getting in shape for his upcoming return to Marvel. But with Marvel’s agenda of secrecy, some fans are also wondering if Hawkeye might be in the movie next year.

Tony Stark’s arc in the MCU ended with his dying in
Infinity War

, but Hawkeye, who survived the war, appeared once in the Disney series titled after his character, Hawkeye

. Since then, the character has
been missing from the screen, and there have been some big changes in actor Jeremy
Renner’s life, including his suffering a near-death accident. In his memoir, Renner
has penned this experience, and Robert Downey Jr. reading it on the sets of the
upcoming Avengers

movie is being a supportive friend, but could also be an
easter egg in plain sight.

After his blockbuster Comic Con announcement of Marvel’s
return last year, Robert Downey Jr. is pushing his gym limits, as can be seen in
the picture. While his character’s real strength increases as he steps onto the battlefield in his Iron Man suit, fans also admire his physical fitness and
strength in front of heavyweights like Captain America and Thor. This set also
got much fans’ love who could not get over how ripped Downey looks despite
turning 60 years old in April, commenting, “looking old, but swole

“.

The Jeremy Renner memoir stole half the attention and
left fans praying for Hawkeye to join the anticipated Avengers: Doomsday

next year.

Jenner Renner, who has recently been vocal about the
sour introduction of his character in the first Avengers

movie

, continues to be
an important part of the universe. Currently, Hawkeye is the only original
Avenger on Earth in real time. With this latest tease by Robert Downey Jr., fandom
is dying to see him back, sharing screen in Avengers: Doomsday

,
hopefully bringing along his understudy, Kate Bishop, to make it more interesting.
