Robert Downey Jr. says he didn’t want to be the first one down on Avengers: Doomsday
Interviewer: Doctor Doom himself.
Robert Downey Jr.: He’s coming.
lGoing from project to project, one was a marathon, and this last Marvel film was very much like a series of sprints. It was really taxing physically because of the heavy costumes.
I remember back in the past, we’d all be assembled in Atlanta. It’d be like 94 degrees and 88% humidity, and you’d think, “People are going to start passing out.”
Interviewer: Yeah.
Robert Downey Jr.: And this is a real fit bunch of folks. I didn’t want to be the first man down on Doomsday.
I wanted to make sure I could withstand high pressure and exhausting action or dramatic scenarios, then quickly be able to cool down. The way we changed the program was really helpful.
