As I type this, the world continues to burn, as 2020 serves us more and more shit sandwiches. Over this weekend alone, we’ve had the US Presidential Election thrown into chaos as Trump gets diagnosed with COVID-19 and no one can figure out if he’s doing just fine or on his deathbed.

After hanging up Iron Man’s suit last April, Robert Downey Jr. is discovering that it’s hard to find a follow-up franchise. “Dolittle,” the former Marvel star’s attempt to launch a kid-friendly series, is looking like a box office dud, one that shows that even his considerable charms have limits.

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.

It’s been more than half a century since Rex Harrison spoke (and sang!) to animals as author Hugh Lofting’s eloquent veterinarian (Richard Fleischer’s 1967 musical film was nominated for nine Oscars, including best picture), and just over two decades since Eddie Murphy gave his own goofy modern portrayal. That’s enough time for Dr.

Though Robert Downey Jr. stars as the eponymous Dr. Dolittle in the fantasy-adventure remake “Dolittle”, which he also executive produced, the actor was quick to heap praise on his wife and producer Susan Downey, for her contributions to the project.

"Tom Holland is in 'Dolittle' because of Robert," the film's director Stephen Gaghan said about the reason behind the duo's reunion. "Tom did the movie because he loves Robert. They're very close." In "Dolittle", Downey Jr. portrays the role of famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria's England who lives in solitude behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor, with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.

Earlier this spring, plunked in the middle of a stage and surrounded by a who’s-who of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not to mention studio boss Kevin Feige, Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. had no problem admitting that he wasn’t always sure the idea of an interconnected series of superhero films would work.
