Marvel Cinematic Universe enjoys a huge fan following all over the world. The fact has been established over and over again with the release of every Marvel film hitting the cinemas in the past decade or so. However, with Avengers: Endgame doing historic business worldwide this year, everyone had to sit down and take notice. We are still not over Robert Downey Jr aka Iron Man’s death.
Iron Man aka Tony Stark, one of the Avengers played by Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr has also become an integral part of everyone’s lives in all these years. And after Iron Man sacrificed his life in the Endgame to save humanity, Robert Downey Jr saw an incredible increase in the number of fans. There’s a legacy attached with the name of Iron Man and people love his character from bottom of their heart.
This is the reason that fans were left shocked when his name was not nominated for the upcoming Academy Awards. This was even more shocking because Disney has pushed Avengers: Endgame for 13 categories including Best Director and Best Film but there was no Robert Downey Jr. for playing the immortal role of Iron Man.
