Robert Downey Jr. is currently in Brazil promoting his new movie Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, which is yet another big blockbuster Hollywood movie that the popular actor has put out in the last few years. The actor has gone through a huge revitalization to his career ever since Marvel put him in the Iron Man suit. Since then he has been one of the hottest actors, and big name directors like Tim Burton are clamoring to have him in their next film.

Google Translated:
Five years ago, who did not identify themselves when they think of Tony Stark, because all comic book artists changed the character. I'm glad that fans can identify with me.

The sure things that I have right now are Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. I haven’t seen The Avengers but we worked hard in bringing all these heroes together. I hope people like it. There may be a third ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and I’m talking a lot with Tim Burton regarding ‘Pinocchio’. I haven’t signed anything but it’s possible.

People love to separate the big films from the smaller films. I’ve heard comments about how I’m only accepting roles in big films and not doing small films that are about characters and relationships. But my films are also about the characters and their relationships. I think I’ll only stop doing Iron Man when I realize that it’ll be boring for people to see me as Tony Stark. The same goes for Sherlock Holmes. I’m not too concerned about the size of a film; I’m worried about the character.
