Marvel fans have been buzzing over a massive rumor, but David Harbour is finally setting the record straight. The actor, who plays Red Guardian in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shot down claims that he accidentally leaked a major plot detail about the highly anticipated movie Avengers: Doomsday. While he completely denied dropping that specific secret, he decided to have some fun during a recent interview and playfully teased a completely different spoiler instead.
Harbour denies mentioning Tony Stark in his recent interviews
Back in August, a report surfaced claiming Harbour revealed a huge line from the film. He supposedly used a thick Russian accent and said his character tells someone they are Tony Stark. This created a massive wave of fan theories because Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the franchise to play the villain Doctor Doom. Fans immediately started guessing how the two characters might be connected.
However, Harbour recently told Screen Rant that the quote never happened. He suggested that people just make things up and firmly denied giving away any secrets. The situation even caused a stir among his coworkers. Harbour mentioned that his co-star Wyatt Russell sent him a message claiming he ruined the movie. Harbour shrugged it off, adding that he does not even say that line in the final film.

A simple countdown tease hints at a major movie event
Even though he killed the Tony Stark rumor, the actor still wanted to give fans something to think about. Harbour joked that the only line he actually gave the reporter was a simple countdown. He then confirmed that the countdown is a real moment in the upcoming project. He explained that Red Guardian counts down from five at a specific point in the story, which leads to something very important happening.
Fans can expect plenty of surprises when the film finally drops. Here are the main details we know so far:
- Release date: The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18.
- Directors: Joe Russo is co-directing the massive superhero project.
- Plot: Doctor Doom serves as the main villain. Russo shared that Doom uses ancient magic and his genius intellect to study his foes, ensuring he always has a tactical advantage before stepping onto a battlefield.
- Cast highlights: The massive lineup includes Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, the Fantastic Four, and the Fox-era X-Men.
With so many legendary characters returning to the screen, Marvel is clearly building toward a giant showdown. Even without Harbour spilling the biggest secrets, the promise of a calculated and incredibly powerful Doctor Doom is more than enough to keep audiences ready for the premiere.
