Robert Downey Jr. has confirmed yet again that he is done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Downey recently appeared on the “SmartLess” podcast with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, where he brought up his ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, per Digital Spy.
- “That’s all done. As far as I’m concerned, I hung up my guns and I’m good to let it go.
- “I also think that Marvel is on this journey now, they’re trying a bunch of other stuff and you know, I’m excited for them to see how all that goes.”
Downey’s comments echo similar ones that he made back in January 2020 — you know, what feels like 20 years ago.
He told Extra he could possibly return to the MCU. But he remains retired for now.
