It is not unknown to people that the Marvel Studios gave some of the highest-grossing cinemas in Hollywood, and speaking in that reference, Robert Downey Jr added, “If you’re talking about, adjusted for inflation, the biggest movies of all time, ‘Gone With the Wind’ and ‘The Ten Commandments’ are there. I’m sure that in the years those movies came out, there were probably films that you and I would agree were a better representation of what cinema can be.”

The Iron Man star added, “I did not have the luxury of wondering what the longer-term repercussions of coming in as a second-tier superhero for something that was going to build out into a cinematic universe would be — and it didn’t matter because I had a Super Bowl ring on each finger while this debate was being contested with much heat.”

He, however, shared that he is glad to have had the Marvel experience, which brought him to where he stands today. Robert Downey Jr said, “So coming from that other place, entering the box-office-weekend-dominating place, then going into this spot now where I’m happy that I’m in this quality product — I’m happy that I regained my connection with a more purist approach to making movies.”
