Welp, I Certainly Didn’t Expect To See THIS at the Oscars Last Night

The 98th Academy Awards recently aired on ABC, and with it came a whole host of the usual gags and pranks, especially considering Conan O’Brien was the host.

But, we also saw some actors reunite for the first time in quite a while, albeit in a potentially unexpected way — including a few Marvel favorites: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, and Channing Tatum.

Marvel stars Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans reunited at the Oscars this past Sunday, as they marked the 14th anniversary of the original Avengers movie and presented the awards for Best Screenplay. In a playful bit, Evans asked Downey what he got him as an anniversary gift, and said that he got him a signed copy of the original script. Downey appeared flustered, and the two proceeded to give out the Oscar to Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle After Another.

Evans remained on stage, with Downey nowhere in sight. But then, Downey ran back out on stage, and the following hilarious moment ensued:

Despite Downey’s flub of Channing Tatum’s name, the latter was a good sport about it all, even commenting that he needed the sparkly underwear back because he “had to work later.” If you had “Channing Tatum’s thong from Magic Mike makes an appearance” on your Oscars Bingo Card, congratulations!

Downey and Evans will no doubt be reuniting again for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, but Downey won’t be playing Iron Man anymore… instead, he’ll be playing Doctor Victor von Doom!

Tatum joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe when he played Gambit in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Whether he will continue that role in any upcoming Marvel movies remains to be seen.
