Robert Downey Jr is 'done' with the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Robert Downey Jr is "done" with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The 55-year-old actor, who played Tony Stark in the 'Avengers' and 'Iron Man' movies, has ruled out a return to the franchise after his character was killed off in 'Avengers: Endgame'.

Speaking to Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes on their podcast 'SmartLess', he said: "That's all done. As far as I'm concerned, I hung up my guns and I'm good to let it go.

"I also think that Marvel is on this journey now. They're trying a bunch of other stuff and you know, I'm excited for them to see how all that goes."

Meanwhile, Robert previously revealed he would have liked to have played Hawkeye if he hadn't become Iron Man.

He said: "Looking back on it now - also because I'm just such a Jeremy Renner fan, and he made it so cool, particularly when he turns into Ronin [in 'Avengers: Endgame'] - I would say Hawkeye would be my go-to."
