    Doesn’t seem to me like it would make sense to hire RDJ and then hide him behind a mask for the entire movie.

      I’d like to invite you to watch V for vendetta. A good actor can do magic even behind a mask!

      Edit: I’m not sure how Downey Jr would perform, just want to point out that a mask alone is not a blocker for a great performance.

        You are absolutely correct, I love that movie. The chances of Disney being able to pull off anything even half as good however are basically nonexistent. That would require them to make something where the audience has to think, something risky, something potentially divisive.

        Marvel is the epitome of visually impressive, but safe, inclusive movies for all audiences. Even the ones who are on their phones for half the movie.

        Sometimes this is exactly what I’m looking for but it’s not really comparable to V for Vendetta.

        If Disney spend the big bucks on RDJ they’re gonna want to show him off to draw in audiences.

        Doesn’t seem to be Disney’s protocol when it comes to masked characters though. They like showing the faces.
