Oscar for Iron Man? After Russo Brothers, Avengers: Endgame's executive producer endorses Robert Downey Jr

Avengers: Endgame is not just the biggest movie of 2019 but also the biggest movie, ever! The MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) film was also a heartfelt swan song for the OG 6 Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye) who began the journey with The Avengers (2012). Robert Downey Jr., in paticular, spearheaded the MCU when he starred in and as Iron Man (2008). After a decade, we saw the actor star as Iron Man for the very last time in Avengers: Endgame.

During an interview with Washington Post, the Russo Brothers stated that RDJ deserves an Oscar for Avengers: Endgame, more than anyone in the last 40 years, because of the way that he has motivated popular culture. Agreeing to the Russos is Avengers: Endgame's executive producer Trinh Tran who says it would be great if RDJ scored a nomination for the MCU film. "With RDJ, he spent the last decade bringing this character to life since the first Iron Man. To pay tribute to him in Endgame and where his journey ends, I hope everybody embraced what we felt emotional was impactful to his character. I think that the Russos mentioning that it would be great that he gets acknowledged for the endeavor that he did," Trinh shared with ComicBook.
