Marvel fans in India have a special reason to celebrate this Diwali! Avengers: Doomsday, one of the most anticipated Hollywood releases of 2026, is set to arrive in Indian cinemas on December 17, a day before its scheduled release in the United States. Adding to the excitement, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have shared a special festive message, wishing everyone in India a very Happy Diwali and giving fans another reason to look forward to the upcoming Marvel spectacle.
The announcement has generated excitement among fans, especially with two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most popular stars coming together to share their Diwali wishes. Robert Downey Jr., who is set to play Doctor Doom, and Chris Evans, best known for his iconic portrayal of Steve Rogers, have sent warm greetings to Indian audiences ahead of the film's theatrical release.
In their special Diwali video message, the actors extend festive wishes to fans while drawing a connection between the festival and the film's upcoming story. Diwali is widely associated with light, hope and new beginnings, but the stars hint that Avengers: Doomsday could take audiences in a very different direction. Referring to the story's darker tone, they tease that things are moving “in the other direction” before signing off with the exciting line, “We will see you in Avengers: Doomsday.”
The message has added a festive touch to the film's promotional campaign, with fans eager to see what Marvel has planned for the next major chapter of its superhero universe. Downey Jr.'s return to the franchise in a new role as Doctor Doom has been a major talking point, while Evans' involvement has further fuelled curiosity about the film and the characters who could shape its story.
Another major highlight is the film's early release in India. While audiences in the United States are scheduled to watch it on December 18, Indian fans will get to see it a day earlier, on December 17. The release strategy also reflects the importance of the Indian market for major Hollywood franchises, particularly Marvel films, which have built a dedicated audience across the country.
Avengers: Doomsday will release in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, making the film accessible to a wider audience. Marvel Studios will also present the movie in premium theatrical formats, including Infinity Vision, offering fans more ways to experience the action and spectacle on the big screen.
With Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans wishing everyone a Happy Diwali, an early India release and multiple language options, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a major attraction for Marvel fans this festive season. All eyes are now on December 17, when Indian audiences will get the first opportunity to step into the film's much-anticipated world.
