Robert Downey Jr. may have just given us our first look at Avengers: Doomsday's Doctor Doom in an unexpected way

We may have our first look at Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday – and it's all thanks to his birthday party invitation.

The actor celebrated his 60th birthday over the weekend, and one of his party invitations was shared on Instagram by jazz musician Eric Lewis. The comic book-style illustration, which you can see below, shows an iteration of the MCU's new big bad, Doctor Doom, sporting a curly haircut, a green suit, and a purple cape. There are some neat touches to the faux comic book cover, like the price (60¢, to reference Downey Jr.'s age), and the release date (April 4, 1965, which is Downey Jr.'s date of birth). Downey Jr. has recently been spotted with a very similar haircut, and filming on Doomsday is set to kick off early this month.
