Avengers’ mini-reunion on the Oscars 2026 stage
Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans reunited on the Oscars 2026 stage, and the latter called it the 14th anniversary of The Avengers. The Captain America star revealed that he had gifted the Iron Man actor a copy of the original Avengers script signed by the entire cast. However, RDJ was caught off guard when asked to return the favor.
The Iron Man star joked after a brief pause that the only thing he got for his fellow Avengers: Doomsday actor was his valet receipt. After presenting the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar to Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle After Another, RDJ tried to make up by presenting Evans with the sparkly underwear that Channing Tatum wore in Magic Mike.
Channing Tatum joined in from the audience
A flustered Channing Tatum shouted from the audience that he would need that sparkly undergarment returned. Robert Downey Jr went ahead and asked what he needed it for. Tatum replied, “For work later.” This small reunion of OG Avengers stars sparks nostalgia among fans on social media as the clip goes viral.
