Robert Downey Jr. has shared that he thinks some of his best work was as Iron Man in the MCU – but it went unrecognized because of anti-superhero bias.
“I felt so exposed after being in the cocoon of Marvel where I think I did some of the best work I will ever do, but it went a little bit unnoticed because of the genre," he told Rob Lowe's 'Literally!' podcast (via Variety). "[I] did myself a favor, because the rug was pulled so definitively out from underneath me and all the things that I was leaning on as opposed to what my understanding of confidence and security was, boy did they evaporate. And it rendered me teachable."
