Robert Downey Jr.
has been one of the most iconic superheroes and people have showered their love for his character Iron Man. Marvel’s last movie Avengers: Endgame, has been talking of the town this year.
Marvel fans loved how Iron Man sacrifices his life on the battlefield, defeating Thanos by using the Infinity Stones but fans were quite upset also because the last series of Avengers ends with Iron Man’s death.
Actor-director Jon Favreau who has acted opposite Downey Jr. as Tony Stark’s friend and personal chauffeur Happy Hogan in the MCU films says Robert Downey Jr. deserves an Oscar for his performance in the film.
Joe Russo told Backstory Magazine: “What’s so incredible about Robert Downey and his performance – and we think this is an awards-calibre performance – is when he looks at Benedict in that moment, what you see happen on his face and the way he just drops his eyes and receives the information, it’s because he knows he’s the solution and the solution involves snapping his fingers – he’s going to die.point 671 |

“The thing he wanted to preserve two hours earlier in the movie is his relationship with his daughter, and he will have to sacrifice that in order to save everyone else.”
“Tony’s a futurist, Strange is a spiritualist. They’re very different in that way.”
“Tony’s a futurist in a lot of ways, who’s fated to die from the beginning because he’s so consistently aware of the threat always coming and he cannot rest until that threat has been defeated.
“That’s really the conversation Pepper [Stark Industries CEO Pepper Potts, played by Gwyneth Paltrow] has with him in their living room when he’s talking about going on the time heist.
“He asks if he should just throw this discovery in the bottom of the lake and she says, ‘Yeah, but could you rest?’ And he couldn’t, that’s the truth of it. So, yes, when he gets to that moment, it’s supported by a lot of different beats.”
