Robert Downey Jr. Calls Oppenheimer 'Probably the Best Movie I've Ever Been a Part Of'

Oppenheimer is the rare Robert Downey Jr. movie where he isn't top billed — but Downey said Friday that it's also probably the best movie he's ever been part

Downey spent more than a decade after his Iron Man casting anchoring the Marvel Universe as billionaire investor turned superhero Tony Stark, but walked away after 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. “I wouldn’t be here tonight if I hadn’t participated, with Cillian as the head of the acting department, under the tutelage of Chris Nolan — there’d be no reason to have me here as a modern master, because what have I done for you lately?” Downey said, to audience laughter. “And I also just thought about every time that somebody had embarrassed me in public or I felt less than or looked over or walked past or not acknowledged or on the outside, or people didn’t know that my voice or opinion mattered.”
