David Harbour denies spoiling Avengers: Doomsday
It sounds like the Disney lawyers may have gotten to Red Guardian about Avengers: Doomsday spoilers.
David Harbour, known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has denied any involvement in spoiling the plot of Avengers: Doomsday. The actor, who plays the Red Guardian in Thunderbolts, initially sparked speculation in August when he responded to a Variety request with a Russian accent, saying, "You... are Tony Stark." This line was interpreted by some as an early hint that Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom was actually Iron Man's Tony Stark under the mask and cape.
However, Harbour's claims have been challenged by Variety, which reported the supposed spoiler. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Harbour vehemently denied making the connection between Stark and Doom, expressing confusion and stating that he likely only provided a countdown as his context-free line. The situation remains unresolved, with speculation suggesting that either Downey Jr.'s Doom is Tony Stark or Harbour's statement was a fabrication, potentially influenced by Disney-Marvel's legal actions against actors who reveal sensitive information.
