The 55-year-old actor was certain he had blown the chance to land the role of the superhero in 2000’s 'X-Men' movie after a less-than-convincing try out, but Marvel boss Kevin Feige - who was a producer's assistant at the time - took him out for a steak meal before dropping him off at the airport afterwards. He told Entertainment Weekly: "I said, 'Kevin, we all know I'm not getting the part. You don't have to do dinner.' "But no, he sat in there and had a steak dinner with me and t...

Robert Downey Jr. would "happily" play Iron Man again. The 58-year-old actor portrayed Tony Stark and his superhero alter ego in 11 movies from 2008's 'Iron Man' to 2019's 'Avengers: Endgame' and although his beloved character was killed off in the later movie, the Oscar-winning star insisted that doesn't have to mean fans have seen the last of him. He explained to Esquire magazine in a new interview: “It’s too integral a part of my DNA. That role chose me. And look, I always say, never, ever bet against Kevin Feige. It is a losing bet. He’s the house. He will always win.” Elsewhere in the int...
