Looking at Robert Downey, Jr.’s resume, it’s a little disappointing to note that from 2015 to 2019, all the movies the star has made were comfortably inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For those years, Downey, Jr. has simply been Iron Man. (In 2020, he’ll star as Doctor Doolittle in a big budget remake so … so, yay?)
While his role as the head of Stark Industries and a part-time Avenger has been satisfying, for sure, it also feels as though we’ve been robbed of one of our great actors. So, ahead of “Avengers: Endgame” and because we love him, we’ve rundown 11 of his best, non-MCU movies for your enjoyment. A couple of notes: we’ve decided to forgo his early teeny-bop era and also any movie that he did with James Toback. Those movies are great, but considering the current atmosphere and the revelations about the director, well, ick.
