Agreed, Downey literally owns that role and it’s a license to print money.
And in American Hustle she was a supporting character up against Christian Bale, who is very talented.
Lawrence that is, not Paltrow in AH.
Downey as Iron man is one of the best casting decisions ever made. Captain America and Thor are both pretty good too but Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk needs to be killed and eaten by vegetarians.
