Think Johnny Depp joining a big-budget DisneyĭIS movie based on a theme park ride and creating his own eccentric supporting character to juice up the proceedings. That’s frankly, along with his real-life struggles with addiction, what made his casting in Jon Favreau’s MCU movie (featuring an infamously hard-living tycoon) so interesting in the first place. It’s not like True Believer, Chaplin, Heart and Souls, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Zodiac were break-out smash hits. was, prior to Iron Man, not so much a butts-in-seats star but a deeply idiosyncratic actor beloved by his peers and respected by those who happened to catch him in a given movie. Save for the Sherlock Holmes duo, which benefited from sharp “star-plus-marquee character” casting and whose first installment ( Sherlock Holmes in December 2009) arrived just 1.5 years after Iron Man, Downey Jr.’s “non-Iron Man” movies haven’t exactly soared to infinity and beyond. isn’t an opener outside of his work as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
