Marvel’s Super Bowl buzz did not come from a surprise trailer drop this year. Instead, it came from Robert Downey Jr., who used football’s biggest night to feature Avengers: Doomsday in an unexpected way. The longtime MCU star, now stepping into the role of Doctor Doom, revealed a custom Super Bowl-themed t-shirt that instantly caught fans’ attention online.
Downey took to Instagram to share a photo alongside his wife, Susan, with both wearing Avengers: Doomsday Super Bowl jerseys. The photo quickly spread across social media, fueling speculation about how central Doctor Doom will be to the film’s overall marketing push.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Super Bowl t-shirt design was bold and anything but subtle. It featured Doctor Doom’s armored arm gripping a football designed to resemble the Vince Lombardi Trophy. By combining Super Bowl symbolism with Marvel’s iconic villain imagery, the design created a dramatic visual that resonated with fans during the sports event.
Downey kept the caption short and humorous, writing, “Team Green.” The phrase referenced Doctor Doom’s signature color scheme while also nodding to the competitive spirit that defines Super Bowl weekend. The simple caption only added to the post’s viral appeal, with fans dissecting its meaning across platforms.
The Super Bowl reveal comes as marketing for Avengers: Doomsday continues to ramp up. Four teaser trailers released over the past month have hinted at Doom’s comic-inspired armor and his blend of science and sorcery. Merchandise circulating online has further teased magical elements connected to the character, suggesting his powers will play a major role in the story.
