Robert Downey Jr., who is remembered for his portrayal of the “Iron Man” character, talked about American billionaire Elon Musk behaving like “Tony Stark”. The master actor played the billionaire Tony Stark character in the Iron Man movies.
Iron Man screenwriter Mark Fergus said in an interview that Musk inspired the technological skills, arrogance and generally hasty attitude of the “Tony Stark” character.
The 59-year-old actor, known for films such as “Sherlock”, “Zodiac” and “The Avengers”, said about Musk, the owner of Tesla and SpaceX, “I’ve only met him a few times, I wish he could control his behavior a little more.”
The screenwriter had used the expressions “Musk seems to have taken Jobs’s brilliance and Trump’s showmanship” for the Marvel character.
Although Downey has said in recent interviews that he is open to returning to Marvel, fans thought he would return as Iron Man/Tony Stark. However, no one expected Downey to return as the villain Victor von Doom.
Downey first portrayed Tony Stark in the 2008 film “Iron Man,” the first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over the next 11 years, Downey reprised the role in 10 Marvel films, including “Iron Man 2,” “Iron Man 3,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “The Avengers,” “Captian America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame.”
