Fans probably have a hard time imagining Robert Downey Jr. playing any other character other than Tony Stark. However, the Avengers: Endgame star wants people to understand that he intends to keep his distance from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Iron Man persona now that his character is dead.
In an interview with Off Camera with Sam Jones, Downey revealed that he is preparing for life after MCU and admits that it was a satisfying period of his life considering that he felt safe.
The Sherlock Holmes 3 star stressed that it is important to realize the difference between the art and the artist.
Although we're certainly going to miss Iron Man, we can't wait to see what Downey is planning to do next.
