“If the whole third movie was that scene, we’re fine.”

Downey is on a break from filming on Infinity War (due out April 27) and next year’s untitled Avengers 4 (opening May 3, 2019).

It’s a week before Christmas and he has spent most of 2017 at Pinewood’s Atlanta soundstages filming the two-part sequel that culminates a 22-movie narrative arc for Marvel.

The 52-year-old Oscar nominee is considered the godfather of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2008, he helped launch its interconnected series of films (that number at 18 with last month’s Black Panther).
