Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans reunite at the Oscars, joking about Avengers anniversary and teasing their MCU return in 'Avengers: Doomsday'.

"The script. It's the driving force of any film, and it's truly been a banner year for screenwriters. - Robert Downey Jr"

Los Angeles, March 16

Fans of the Marvel Universe had a reason to smile as two of their favourite "Avengers" stars reunited on Hollywood's biggest night.

Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans shared the stage at the Academy Awards, bringing back memories of their popular roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The two actors, best known for playing Iron Man and Captain America, appeared together to present the awards for 'Best Adapted Screenplay' and 'Best Original Screenplay'. Their reunion also comes as both stars are set to return to the MCU in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday.

During their appearance on stage, the actors joked about the 14th anniversary of the superhero film 'The Avengers'. While presenting the awards, Downey Jr. began speaking about the importance of screenwriting in films, according to Variety.

"The script. It's the driving force of any film, and it's truly been a banner year for screenwriters," Downey Jr. began saying as Evans interrupted him to ask what his co-star got him for the 14th anniversary of "The Avengers."

Evans revealed that he gifted Downey Jr. a signed copy of the "Avengers" script, while Downey Jr. joked that he gave Evans his valet receipt. The light moment made the audience laugh before they moved on to announce the winners.

The duo presented the adapted screenplay award to filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson for the film One Battle After Another. Later, while announcing the original screenplay nominees, Downey Jr. jokingly handed Evans sparkly underwear worn by Channing Tatum in the film Magic Mike. From the audience, Tatum shouted that he would need the underwear "for work later".

The reunion also hinted at their next big MCU appearance. In 'Avengers: Doomsday', Downey Jr is expected to return as the villain "Doctor Doom". Evans will also return to the Marvel world after his character Steve Rogers retired in Avengers: Endgame.

Both actors became global stars after playing Iron Man and Captain America in several Marvel films. Their appearance together at the Oscars once again brought back memories for fans who followed their journey in the Marvel universe for over a decade.

Their chemistry is still fantastic. The valet receipt joke had me laughing out loud. It's these little moments that remind us why we loved the MCU's golden era. Hoping the new film captures some of that old magic.

As a fan from the first Iron Man film, this was emotional. But I have to say, bringing them back feels a bit like Marvel is going back to the well because new phases aren't working. The magic of Endgame was a perfect ending. Let's hope Doomsday justifies this return.

My brother and I used to debate for hours about who was better - Iron Man or Captain America. This news just revived that argument in our family WhatsApp group! 😂 So excited to see them share the screen again, even if they're on opposite sides.

The sparkly underwear bit with Channing Tatum was peak Oscars chaos, haha! Good to see our heroes having fun. But seriously, RDJ as Doctor Doom? That's a genius casting move. His intensity will be perfect for the role.

Fourteen years! Time flies. I remember watching The Avengers in a packed theatre in Mumbai, the whole crowd cheering. These characters are a part of our pop culture now. Wishing the team all the best for the new film.
