Believe it or not, there was a time when Hollywood wanted nothing to do with Robert Downey Jr.
In the early 2000s, Downey Jr.’s years of drug use and brushes with the law caught up with him. After spending a year at a court-ordered drug-treatment facility, he was broke and virtually unhireable.
Then he got the offer that led to his comeback: the titular role in 2008’s “Iron Man.”
With that, Downey Jr. became the face of the lucrative Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has grossed over $31 billion worldwide to date.
After ending his run as Iron Man with 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, he’s returning to the MCU as the villain Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday.”
