Robert Downey Jr said he’d never imagined himself portraying a paternal role to another Avenger.
The 52-year-old actor, who as Iron Man, plays a mentor to the young Spider-Man/ Peter Parker essayed by Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming, said the young actor was the best choice to play the web-spinning superhero, reported ContactMusic.
“I never thought I’d wind up being like a father figure to another avenger but I couldn’t pick a better character or actor to do it with,” Robert said on the red carpet at the world premiere of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The Hollywood star added despite the gap in his and Holland’s ages, he did not feel threatened in his role.
