Robert Downey Jr Talks ‘Iron Man 2’ Disappointment After ‘Captain American 3: Civil War’ Casting and Sony ‘Spider-Man’ ‘Avengers’ Crossover

Things have never been better Marvel and for Robert Downey Jr. Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is almost here, Captain American 3: Civil War is on the way and Disney made a deal with Sony to have Spider-Man join the Avengers. However, for many fans, Iron Man 2 remains a black spot on the MCU and Robert Downey Jr’s resume. Now RDJ has opened up about the disappointment.

“So...would the next one just be a shot of my chest hair?”

During a recent interview with Empire magazine, Robert Downey Jr. was asked how the widely panned Iron Man 2 affects him going into new sequels:

“You never want to lean on things that you did knowing that it was like a back-up parachute. You don’t want to pretend there’s a back-up to that back-up parachute. And yesterday’s approach doesn’t necessarily work today….You can’t do the same thing, only smaller, not as cool. There’s that other trap -- where it’s, ‘Everything is bigger! Better! Do you know how many gigabytes we used in the opening sequence? How many terabytes?’ Ultimately it comes down to that.”
