Robert Downey Jr. On The Deadly High-Stakes In Marvel's AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

Robert Downey Jr. admits the MCU has introduced various cataclysmic scenarios over the years but failed to actually cross pass the point of no return. Avengers: Infinity War will break that mold.

Hydra taking over the world via ultra-S.H.I.E.l.D. helicarriers. The Dark Elves destroying Earth in their pursuit of the Reality Gem. Ultron crashing a meteor into the planet, decimating the population. These "game-ending" scenarios and more have been introduced in the MCU at one point or another but these catastrophes have all been ultimately adverted with little to no casualties (R.I.P. Quicksilver).  

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. says that's all about to change.

"Believe me, I’m tired of every movie, you know, “It’s the end! It’s Armageddon! It’s the Be All, End All, Forever!” And then it’s … not. This one actually is. [Laughs] They’re not kidding. This is a heads-will-roll scenario."

But will Tony Stark be among the film's potential casualties?  When asked whether he sees his career including 20 more years in the Iron Man suit, Downey admitted he can't envision it.

"I'm definitely a hang up your jersey before they boo you off the court type guy, just because I still have an appropriate fear of embarrassment."

Avengers: Infinity War opens in theaters on May 4 April 27.

@DanMcNice - maybe Friday to divert the attention from Wrinkle in Time’s mixed reception

Maybe Monday morning to go for records and dominate the conversation all week

@HeavyMetal4Life - Well, while your right, Ultron referenced it as such.

I have no concerns about the high stakes in this film or that they will be handled with the utmost precision. In the Russos We Trust.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Don't forget Markus and McFeely. They wrote the thing and are 3/3 as far as i'm concerned.

Best thing I've read about this film.
The lack of consequences started to annoy me back in AoU.
Origame
Origame - 3/8/2018, 8:10 AM
@OuzoPowerMan - It's been annoying me since Iron Man 3. Especially all those times the world was at threat, these heroes know each other, have the opportunity to get in touch with them, but...eh, let's not bring that up.
Vigor
Vigor - 3/8/2018, 9:36 AM
@Origame - but then they started doing that and people complained saying "oh this is an avengers movie, not captain America 3" . Or "this is Hulks movie, not thors"
Origame
Origame - 3/8/2018, 10:00 AM
@Vigor - well then why did civil war have so much to do with the avengers that it barely resembles a cap movie? Or ragnarok following planet hulks story more than any Thor story? There's a happy medium where it's just a Thor movie where hulk shows up. Why can't we do that?
Vigor
Vigor - 3/8/2018, 11:44 AM
@Origame - But we have had that. Hawkeye in Thor 1, Falcon in Antman, War Machine in all three Iron Man movies, Dr. Strange in Thor 3, Iron man in Spider-Man. I'm not really sure where the issue is tbh. The only movies where it wasn't as prevalent were the early Marvel movies where the team either wasn't established or not as large as they are today
Origame
Origame - 3/8/2018, 1:33 PM
@Vigor - 1) Hawkeye was a cameo appearance. He did nothing in the plot. Neither was Falcon or Dr. Strange. 2) War Machine was an Iron Man character who wasn't even a superhero until the end of Iron Man 2 and then in 3 he was rendered useless for that movie. 3) Iron Man took over Spider-Man's plot until the end where it actually made sense for him to try and stop people from stealing from him. 4) You're missing my point. Take the end of Thor 2. Why didn't Thor call Iron Man or Cap when they had a full day to plan out dealing with the villain and the threat was both on Earth and threatened all life? Or Iron Man 3 when it was the same sort of situation only with the president (especially since Captain America would have gotten involved anyway when the president was kidnapped)?
Vigor
Vigor - 3/8/2018, 1:52 PM
@Origame - and what I'm saying is they've since rectified that, and yet people still complain that the movie is no longer just about the title character anymore
Origame
Origame - 3/8/2018, 1:57 PM
@Vigor - Because they aren't doing it right. You can properly integrate things, like having Cap talk with Iron Man over the phone in Cap 2 then call him later to help with the climax. It's really not that hard. Don't adapt Planet Hulk for a Thor movie. Just use your toys.
OuzoPowerMan
OuzoPowerMan - 3/8/2018, 3:52 PM
@Origame - Or, maybe, the heroes don't wanna ask for help when they feel like it's personal/their responsibility to solve the problem.
I mean, if I were Tony, I wouldn't ask for anyone's help in IM3.
Origame
Origame - 3/8/2018, 6:45 PM
@OuzoPowerMan - Yeah, you don't get to call yourself a hero when you look at a situation that can cause harm to so many, including the entire universe in one case, and take it on yourself because "it's personal". Especially since all those cases involve them being helped anyway. And as for your Tony comment, a) what about that says you'd do it alone? and b) why wasn't Captain America there anyway when the president of AMERICA was kidnapped?

@TheBeard - if he does that , the cap speech has to happen.
Dacci
Dacci - 3/8/2018, 8:54 AM
@TheBeard - I really don't see why he would do that. In the comic's he does it to impress Death, but as far as I know there isn't a Death in the MCU. No sign of Hela taking her place either.

knocturnalzen10 - 3/8/2018, 8:58 AM
@Dacci - when she has thor choked up on the balcony she ask's him "who's he the god of " because she said she's the goddess of Death ...... you never see her die, just asgard.
TheBeard
TheBeard - 3/8/2018, 9:28 AM
@knocturnalzen10 - ABSOLUTELY!!!

Dacci
Dacci - 3/8/2018, 10:13 AM
@knocturnalzen10 - True, I'm just saying I would of thought we would see some sort of leak with Cate Blanchett on set or something by now...
knocturnalzen10
knocturnalzen10 - 3/8/2018, 10:17 AM
@Dacci - i think they want to surprise us to be honestly .... but us being paranoid nerds on this site need answers so we're going to try to figure out certain aspects of what to expect :)

knocturnalzen10 - 3/8/2018, 8:02 AM
read a theory on tony being the soul gem a few mins ago , it was interesting but not as likely.......


give us a trailer of a close up of that moon being thrown at people !!!!!!
Origame
Origame - 3/8/2018, 8:11 AM
@knocturnalzen10 - We would never hear the end of Tony praising himself if that were the case.

@Origame - ikr lol lol
