“Victor. Richard. Costume swap!” Downey captioned the video on Instagram, playing off the first names of the characters — Victor von Doom and Reed Richards. The playful costume swap gave fans a fresh look at the two stars’ dynamic as Marvel’s next big crossover approaches.
An Avengers: Doomsday World Series sneak peek even saw Mister Fantastic throw out a first pitch, tying the film’s promotion to baseball’s biggest stage. With the Dec. 18 premiere now less than two months away, Marvel is ramping up its marketing push for the film.
The Halloween role reversal is a fun nod to what awaits in the movie, where Downey’s Dr. Doom stands as the central threat and Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic leads the Fantastic Four into the fray.
