Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans draw amazing reactions at Oscars 2026
Taking the Oscar 2026 stage together, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans presented the awards for Best Adapted and Original Screenplay. But it was their playful banter that stole the show and sent social media into a frenzy.
Evans revealed that he had given Downey a copy of the original Avengers script, signed by the entire cast, years ago. The revelation caught Downey off guard, prompting the Iron Man star to realize he never reciprocated. After a beat, Downey handed over his valet receipt. “I didn’t think that one through. I’ll need that back,” he added.
The playful exchange continued after they presented the adapted screenplay Oscar to Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle After Another. Downey attempted to make amends by giving Evans the sparkly underwear worn by Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. However, a panicky Tatum called out from the audience that he needed the garment back. When Downey asked what he needed it for, the Deadpool actor admitted, “for work later.”
Fans watching at home were quick to flood X (formerly Twitter) with their reactions. “Best duo ever,” one fan declared, while another quipped, “THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THEM BACK.” The excitement wasn’t just about the past, however. With Avengers: Doomsday on the horizon, the reunion felt like a perfect teaser. “DOOMSDAY IS COMING EVERYONE!” one excited user posted, capturing the anticipation surrounding the project.
The Oscars reunion comes at a pivotal moment for the MCU as anticipation builds for Avengers: Doomsday. The upcoming film is a major milestone for the franchise, bringing together superheroes from various eras of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Downey Jr. will return as Doctor Doom for Doomsday. Evans will also reprise his role of Steve Rogers after retiring the character in Endgame. Their Oscars appearance offered fans a preview of the chemistry that awaits when the film releases on December 18.
