Here are the statements made by the famous Hollywood star…
Robert Downey Jr. shares his concerns
Known as Tony Stark in the Marvel universe, Robert Downey Jr. takes a strong stance against the use of artificial intelligence technology in Hollywood. The famous actor expressed his serious concerns, especially about his likeness being digitally reproduced, during an episode of the podcast ‘On With Kara Swisher’.
The Oscar-winning actor announced his intention to sue any executives who would approve the creation of a digital copy of himself in the future. This bold statement is of great importance to the Hollywood world, especially considering the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the film industry.
Sharing his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence technology, Downey Jr. commented, “I have minimal concerns about this because I have a real emotional life, and there isn’t much room for it”. Speaking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the famous star mentioned he isn’t worried about his character, as he believes the few decision-makers at the studio would not do something like that to him.
Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel universe is another development that excites his fans. However, this time, he will not be taking on the role of Tony Stark; instead, he is set to portray Doctor Doom in the upcoming film ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ scheduled for release in 2026.
