Marvel Studios has announced a special Diwali surprise for Indian audiences, with Avengers: Doomsday set to release in India a day before its US release. The much-anticipated superhero film will arrive in Indian cinemas on December 17, 2026, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Adding to the excitement, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have shared a special Diwali message for fans in India.
In an exclusive video message, the Hollywood stars, who play Doctor Doom and Steve Rogers respectively, extended their festive wishes while reflecting on the significance of Diwali. The announcement comes with 50 days to go before the film’s theatrical release, giving Indian audiences an opportunity to watch the next major Marvel Cinematic Universe instalment ahead of viewers in the US.
In the video, Downey Jr. and Evans said, "Namaste India! What we love about Diwali is it marks the closing of one chapter and beginning of another…that’s something we know a lot about, except instead of moving from dark to light, I think it might be going in the other direction…Happy Diwali and we will see you in Avengers: Doomsday …You Bet!"
