Marvel and Robert Downey Jr. They changed the film industry
In an interview, Christopher Nolan talked about how much he appreciates Robert Downey Jr. And how he wanted to work with him for a long time. He was close to her when he was preparing for the film “Batman Begins”. Then it didn't work.
However, Nolan is happy that Jon Favreau got what he wanted and brought Downey Jr. on board. Like Tony Stark in the movie “Iron Man”. Marvel was against casting the actor because he was just recovering from drug and alcohol addiction issues, which led to him going to prison.
I believe Favreau's decision to cast Robert as Tony Stark is one of the most important and far-reaching casting decisions in Hollywood history. – says Nolan. – You have defined our industry. After we emerged from the Corona virus crisis, we say: “Thank God for Marvel movies.” Looking back now, this decision seems natural, but it wasn't at all. Favreau took a big risk by casting Robert for the role.
Robert Downey Jr. He just received his third Academy Award nomination for his role in Oppenheimer.
