The actor, who played Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for over a decade, ended his run with the genre with Avengers: Endgame in 2019. While he ventures into the world of talking animals with Dolittle, RDJ confessed he is eager to watch the new Batman which stars Robert Pattinson in the lead.
Robert Downey Jr., 54, isn’t ruling out the return of Iron Man! “Now that I’m middle aged, to be honest, you start looking at the back nine and you go, oh this is part of the journey. Things end and everyone is going somewhere,” Robert explained to Today‘s Hoda Kotb on Wednesday, Jan.
