AVENGERS: ENDGAME's Robert Downey Jr. On Filming The Goodbye Between Iron Man & Spider-Man In INFINITY WAR

"Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good."

We suffered a lot of losses at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, but for many Marvel fans, it was the emotional goodbye between Peter Parker and Tony Stark that hit the hardest. The trembling of Parker's face as he turns to dust thanks to the Thanos snap was a shot right in the feels, and even to this day - now less than a month from Avengers: Endgame - it still stings.

We don't know for sure if Peter Parker, or any of the other snap victims, will return in Avengers: Endgame; but in a press conference for the upcoming blockbuster, Robert Downey Jr. was asked what it was like to film such an emotional scene. Surprisingly, he admitted it felt like just another day on set.


"It was crazy to shoot it, but it was just another day. And then we were at lunch, cause it's a movie," said the Iron Man actor.

He continued to explain that it wasn't until he watched the movie with a young kid and saw his reaction that he realized the impact the scene had, and he hopes that Endgame will elicit these same emotional responses from fans.

"I happened to see it with this amazing kid who couldn't go to a theater So I saw it with him and his reaction really effed me up," Downey admitted. "So I think what a lot of us are looking forward to is like Kevin [Feige] always says, it's that surprise and delight experience with [AvengersEndgame. It's one of those things where you go, 'Wow, I think we just made a pretty serious choice.'"

"But I think audiences like that. I think audiences are so smart and now so... they require to not be fed the same drivel as even twenty minutes ago. We need novelty and I think what the Russos and Kevin have been able to do," he concluded.

Seeing Peter Parker turn to dust on screen was undoubtedly heartwrenching as a fan, but it'll likely be nothing compared to what we're about to experience with Avengers: Endgame. Speaking of the upcoming movie, fellow actor Chris Evans revealed at the same event that the movie will mark the completion of Captain America's arc.




The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, "Avengers: Endgame."


Avengers: Endgame lands in theaters April 26. Bring tissues.

Man the wait for this one is killing me. I'm at the combo of Iron Man 2/Thor/The Incredible Hulk on my MCU re-watch right now.

Hoping to get through Iron Man 3 by this evening.

One of the better questions from the "journalists" at that conference. That first question to Chris Evans was awful.

@Django79 - Some of these people shouldn't be allowed on the junket. They're an embarrassment.

It’s still just a scene to me. But a great improvisation by Holland!

Can someone please help! This site is not giving me pop up ads all the way down the left side of the page. It covers text within the articles and comments. Is there anything I can do?? Thanks in advance.

I kinda get the impression that all the people involved in this are increasingly bemused by the hype that's been generated. The last scene from Rick & Morty comes to mind. Temper your boners folks.

That snap is still a gut punch to me and the combination of Tom Holland's lines and that ominous silence before that Cap "oh God" was truly devastating
