Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal swap Doom and Mister Fantastic costumes for Halloween
Days before Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters, the on-screen rivals traded superhero and supervillain looks for a viral Halloween stunt.
What to know
- Downey Jr. and Pascal swapped their Avengers: Doomsday characters' costumes for Halloween, with Downey as Mister Fantastic and Pascal as Doctor Doom.
- The stunt doubled as informal promotion weeks before Avengers: Doomsday's December premiere.
- The pair were also seen out trick-or-treating in the swapped costumes, not just posing for a single photo.
The costume swap is a fun multiverse/timeline joke worth riffing on rather than a serious discussion point.
