Favreau even insisted in having Downey as he claimed numerous times Downey would be to Iron Man what Johnny Depp is to the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, a lead actor that could both elevate the quality of the film and increase the public's interest on it.
With his excellent comeback in IRON MAN and Tropic Thunder, as well as reprising his lead role in IRON MAN 2 and the highly-anticipated THE AVENGERS, I hope he'll continue to do his best to maintain himself as a prominent Hollywood actor
