Robert Downey Jr. at Teen Choice Awards 2019 winning Choice Action Movie Actor
First thing you learn in theater arts: Aesthetic distance. I am not this play I’m doing. I’m not a character in ‘The Fantasticks.’ I’m not Will from ‘Oklahoma.’ Aesthetic distance. It’s job one. I’m not my work. I’m not what I did with that studio. I’m not that period of time that I spent playing this character. And it sucks because the kid in all of us wants to be like, ‘No! It’s always gonna be summer camp and we’re all holding hands and singing kumbaya. Isn’t it?’ It’s like, ‘no! Snap out of it.'
—Robert Downey Jr.

If I could eat whatever I wanted every day, I would have Domino’s pizza with pasta carbonara inside every slice. And at night, I would have Neapolitan ice cream until I felt absolutely toxic. And then I would drift off telling myself, ‘It’s going to be O.K… It’s going to be O.K. you’re going to train in the morning.’

you know, shit tony stark whatever you want but let clarify some things because i see y’all dragging robert downey jr for stuff isn’t on him. so first, robert downey jr is an actor, he is not a marvel exec, he is not a marvel producer, he is an actor. so i see you guys using a goddamn article of 2015 that isn’t confirmed to try to “prove” robert pushed marvel to make civil war (i mean, a actor, as famous as he is cannot force a goddamn company that hires them to make it)
so let show you some quotes of the directors, anthony and joe russo:
DEADLINE: You worked for the first time with Robert Downey Jr here, Iron Man changed his life and established the Marvel universe. What’s the balancing act in making him feel these jokes don’t undermine what he has built? ANTHONY RUSSO: It wasn’t a given that Downey was going to do Civil War. He wasn’t contracted, and so we had to go woo him.
DEADLINE: What’s that like? ANTHONY RUSSO: It was a big deal. Once we convinced Kevin this was the right way to go, he said, okay, now you guys got to go get Downey. So we met with Downey, and Kevin came with us. It took a series of meetings, […]. (Source)
another article:
The biggest hurdle was Robert Downey Jr.’s participation. While most of the other actors were still under contract, Downey’s Marvel agreement had been fulfilled and his team played hardball before finally signing on. Without Downey, without Iron Man, Civil War wouldn’t have happened. (source)
Here’s Robert Downey Jr in a interview approaching the subject
“What do you think I just call people and say ‘Listen, you’re gonna do this movie’, No, what am I? What am I?” (Source)
here’s kevin feige (president of production at marvel studios) answer for how early did they wanted to go with the civil war arc in the mcu:
It’s was before the MCU even existed in the early days, I think we were even just beginning to dream about maybe become a studio and getting financing, it was about a little over 10 years ago which was when Civil War was published and was an amazing comic series and I remember reading every month when it came out and thinking ‘It would probably be impossible but be cool to someday to do this’ and wasn’t until about 2 and half years ago that we thought ‘Now is the time, we assembled enough players that we could do it now’“ (Video. Starts around 4:50)
so we have the directors saying they decided with kevin and had to WOO robert to do it, we have kevin saying they wanted to do it for a long time, we have robert surprised people think he would force them to make a movie and yet you still blame the actor for being part of a project and doing his job. if you want blame someone blame joe and anthony russo and kevin feige.
