"I have several movies I want to see"
The first week of April arrives as promised.
Today's birthday is the 58th birthday of "Iron Man": Robert Downey Jr.
Most of the audiences who like RDJ started with "Iron Man" in 2008.
That was Donnie's first encounter with "Iron Man" Tony Stark and the real starting point of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Starting with "Iron Man" in 2008 and ending with "Avengers 4" in 2019, RDJ spent 11 years integrating with this perfect character and became the "Iron Man forever" in the hearts of countless fans.
But in fact, as an actor, RDJ's fame can be much earlier than "Iron Man".
RDJ was born on April 4, 1965 in a film family, his father Robert Downey Sr. is a film director and his mother is an actress, and he got his first acting experience in the movie "Dog Life" directed by his father at the age of 5.
Over the next few years, he studied dance, vocal music and acting, almost ready for his career as an actor.
The first time he left his father to play the leading actor was the playboy "Jack" in the romantic comedy movie "Pickle Expert" in 1987.
It has to be said that RDJ in his youth, whether it is handsome appearance or personal temperament, is very suitable for this charming character.
In 1992, RDJ passed the examination and won the opportunity to play the comedy master Chaplin in the biopic "Chaplin", which made him nominated for an Oscar for the first time.
This was the first time that Downey's actor career stood at the top, and since then, although he has continued to film contracts, he has repeatedly made mistakes in his private life, which has really affected his reputation and was slowly abandoned by Hollywood.
Until the box office hit of "Iron Man" in 2008, Marvel Studios and RDJ himself who came out of the depravity were given a new life.
That year, RDJ topped the list of "2008 Entertainment Person of the Year" selected by Entertainment Weekly.
In 2013, five years after becoming "Iron Man," RDJ topped the annual earnings list of Hollywood male actors.
In 2019, RDJ's contract with Marvel expired, and he played Tony Stark for the last time in "Avengers 4: Endgame", and accompanied the character to the ending in the Marvel Universe.
Of course, this makes many Marvel fans and RDJ fans "uneasy", interestingly, I don't know if it is a fan or a real thing, and recently there are rumors that RDJ's Iron Man will return in "Avengers 6".
Whether it's true or not, at least until the release of "Avengers 6" at the end of 2025, fans have hope.
But after Avengers retired, RDJ was actually not idle.
His most anticipated new move recently is naturally the new film "Oppenheimer" directed by Nolan, in which Downey will play former US Secretary of Commerce Lewis Strauss.
The Netflix series "Antler Boy", which he co-produced with his wife, also recently released a second season trailer.
Recently, it was also reported that he will co-star Robert Pattinson in the black comedy "Average Height, Average Figure" directed by Adam McKay, in which he plays a retired police officer and realizes the cross-dimensional interaction between "Batman" and "Iron Man".
In addition, it was also reported that he is expected to star in Paramount's remake of Hitchcock's classic thriller "Ecstasy".
Of course, compared with the distant "Avengers 6", the news that RDJ took over "Sherlock Holmes 3" abandoned by Guy Ritchie and was personally responsible for the script and project coordination must be more anticipated by fans!
