The Russo Brothers have shared a puzzling image on Instagram, accompanied by the message: “Look hard…” The black-and-white picture depicts a dimly lit soundstage, complete with scaffolding, and a single, shadowy figure.
It might appear normal at first, but dedicated fans will recognize this as a familiar tactic – the Russos used similar approaches to hint at both Infinity War and Endgame.

The New Tease
The photo reveals:
- A massive curved VFX backdrop filled with tracking markers.
- A crane-mounted spotlight dead center in the frame.
- Scaffolding along the right, possibly part of a ruined or futuristic structure.
- A silhouetted figure sitting in the shadows, likely one of the Russos.
Some viewers have noticed that the tracking markers seem to vaguely create an Avengers “A” or possibly an “X” for X-Men. It’s unclear if this was planned, but the arrangement definitely sparks speculation.
Flashback to Infinity War and Endgame
Back in 2018, while finishing up Avengers 4, the Russo brothers shared a comparable black-and-white photo from the studio, using the very same message: “Look hard…”
That earlier photo sparked weeks of theories:
- Fans thought the ladders, beams, and shadows spelled out the word “Endgame.”
- Others spotted shapes resembling letters like “A” or “E.”
- Fans also thought it was “X” for X-Men.
- Even ordinary objects in the frame became potential Easter eggs.
Ultimately, the goal wasn’t so much to tell the story itself, but to start a discussion – something the Russos are very good at. This approach might also be true for Doomsday.
What It Could Mean for Avengers: Doomsday
The title Doomsday immediately hints at Doctor Doom’s appearance, and this subtle hint follows the pattern of the Russos introducing mysteries without revealing too much information. Here are some potential implications:
- The spotlight rig may stand in for a key CGI element, like a Doom artifact or cosmic machine.
- The scaffolding and backdrop could hint at a destroyed city or futuristic fortress.
- The tracking markers forming shapes may again be spelling something out — possibly another title clue, or even a nod to the Avengers logo.
Above all, this indicates that Avengers: Doomsday is officially in production, and the Russo brothers are employing their usual strategy of encouraging fans to search for hints. We recently learned the initial filming has concluded, but it’s widely understood that significant reshoots are planned.
