Robert Downey, Jr. Talks About THE AVENGERS Movie & Offers What May Be The Funniest Movie-Related Quote This Year...


Merrick here...


I'm on the way out the door at the moment, but wanted to share the following with you real quick like...

In brief: Robert Downey, Jr. shared his thoughts on the upcoming AVENGERS movie with MTV. Choice quote:

“If we don’t get it right it’s really, really going to suck,” said Downey. “It has to be the crowning blow of Marvel’s best and brightest because it’s the hardest thing to get right. It’s tough to spin all the plates for one of these characters.”

...says Downey in the MTV piece, which can be accessed HERE!
