billionaire playboy philanthropist it's the superhero team up to end all team ups The Avengers was a gamble bigger than Tony Stark's ego and boy did it pay off Downey's back as the Sass slinging

number five Avengers Infinity war and Avengers endgame where' that come from it's nanotech you like it all right look choosing between these Marvel Mega movies is like picking your favorite apocalypse Tony Stark takes on his biggest Badd yet Thanos and his Universe altering jewelry collection these movies give us a more vulnerable and scared Tony and honestly it's a real gut punch his sacrifice and

chaotic power of improvisation and I am Iron Man number four zodiac Paul what I cover crime in valo yeah I cover crime in valo forget superheroes Downey gets serious in David Fincher's zodiac he takes on the role of Paul Avery a reporter dangerously obsessed with the Zodiac Killer it's dark it's twisty it'll leave you suspicious of your co-workers Downey goes from quippy to haunted and it's

Brilliance leads to some questionable influence the film gives us a chilling intensity with a side of what have they done prepare for your faith in humanity to take a nose dive RDJ actually got an
