**Tenoch Huerta on Meeting Robert Downey Jr. While Filming Avengers: Doomsday**
Namor actor Tenoch Huerta is set to appear in the highly anticipated *Avengers: Doomsday*, scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. Ahead of the film’s debut, Huerta recently opened up about his experience meeting Robert Downey Jr. on set.
Speaking with El Capipi Perez, Huerta praised Downey Jr., jokingly noting that the star “hasn’t lost any of his good looks or youthful appearance.” “He’s really handsome, dude,” Huerta said. “The guy looks really young too.”
Huerta recounted the encounter: “What happened was that I wasn’t in the scene; I went to see the directors. I wanted to talk to them about some lines and also meet them face to face. When I was there, the guy came over to check the monitors and I said, ‘Ah, no way!’ I really said, ‘Damn, I left my kneepads back at the hotel, man!’”
While the “kneepads” line initially confused many fans, it appears to be a translation from Spanish that conveys Huerta’s starstruck reaction to meeting Downey Jr.
