Robert Downey Jr. feels he did some of his best acting work in the Iron Man movies but did not attract enough awards recognition because of bias against the superhero genre.
Downey Jr., the odds-on favourite for Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in Oppenheimer, was speaking on Rob Lowe’s Literally! podcast when he said, “I felt so exposed after being in the cocoon of Marvel where I think I did some of the best work I will ever do, but it went a little bit unnoticed because of the genre.”
Downey Jr. portrayed Tom Stark/Iron Man across 10 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
His last appearance in the iron suit was in 2019’s The Avengers: Endgame, when the billionaire-superhero died.

Parvathi Nayar’s new exhibition, The Primordial, in Mumbai, traces oceans, pepper and climate change
Opened on March 12, the exhibition marks the artist’s first solo show in Mumbai in nearly two decades. Known for her intricate graphite drawings and multidisciplinary practice spanning installation, photography, video, and climate change, her artistic journey has long engaged with the themes of ecology, climate change and the natural world. In this ongoing exhibition, these strands converge through a series of works centred on water, salt, and pepper — materials that carry natural and historic weight across centuries.
