As a seasoned movie critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the recent controversy surrounding Robert Downey Jr.’s comparison of Jon Favreau to Elon Musk is nothing short of amusing. The internet, as it often does, has taken a simple compliment and twisted it into something far more dramatic than intended.
In a recent interview, Robert Downey Jr. attempted to pay a compliment to his longtime friend and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) collaborator Jon Favreau. However, the Internet has misconstrued it as a subtle jab instead. The duo initially teamed up for “Iron Man” back in 2008, the film that launched the entire MCU. Favreau directed “Iron Man 2”, and has been an executive producer on every movie starring Tony Stark, while also making occasional screen appearances as Happy Hogan. Downey Jr.’s tenure as Iron Man is well-known and requires no introduction.
Robert Downey Jr. recently chatted on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter Podcast about his popular HBO series “The Sympathizer” and his unexpected comeback as Dr. Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday.” During the discussion, Downey Jr. reminisced about his friendship and partnership with Favreau. However, a recent turn of events has significantly changed how the public views the individual Downey Jr. likened Favreau to. In the conversation, Downey Jr. praised Favreau in a sincere manner.
Jon Favreau is often referred to as the “Elon Musk of cinema” due to his innovative approach and affinity for technology, which is clearly demonstrated through his various film projects.
Throughout his filmmaking journey, Favreau has consistently been an early adopter of innovative technology. On the set of The Jungle Book remake, he utilized a pioneering system called The Volume – a massive room equipped with LED screens displaying pre-rendered 3D environments. This groundbreaking technology has grown in popularity within film and TV production, and Favreau was among its early supporters. Today, The Volume is frequently employed on all of Disney+’s original Star Wars series, including Favreau’s The Mandalorian.
Fans React to Jon Favreau’s Elon Musk Comparison
Most fans understand that Downey Jr.’s comment was intended to be nothing more than a comparison about being open to new technologies, while some hardcore Favreau fans have taken genuine offense. One theory that has hilariously made its way through the internet is that Downey Jr. has gone full method actor ahead of his surprise MCU return. Downey Jr. both died a hero, and is living long enough to see himself become the villain as he returns to the MCU to play Victor Von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. It is a casting decision has split the fan base, with some excited to see what the actor will bring to the new role, while others believe it to be a lazy choice which could undermine Tony Stark’s sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame.
