For many, the beginning of the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was marked by the release of Avengers: Infinity War, and for some actors, that was undoubtedly true. The film and the final chapter of the following year marked a farewell to the three original members of the Avengers team, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson. To commemorate this final event of the epic era, the original six Avengers decided to get tattoos, but in a recent interview, Downey Jr. wanted to remind everyone that there was one member of the group who didn’t quite agree with the idea of tattoos. make tattoos.
The hidden side of the original Avengers tattoos: Robert Downey Jr reveals Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth’s backstory
Downey Jr. recently sat down for an interview with Wired, which also featured Christopher Nolan, to discuss his role in Oppenheimer. Of course, his iconic role in Marvel was not long in coming. Retracing some aspects of his journey with the Avengers, Downey Jr. highlighted – not for the first time – that Mark Ruffalo ruined the plan by refusing to join the tattooed group. He also shared that the mighty Thor, also known as Chris Hemsworth, wasn’t that macho when it came to enduring pain.
The Iron Man star took great pleasure in taunting Ruffalo, quoting him, “I won’t get this tattoo. I don’t want to be part of Hollywood’s inner game.” Although Downey Jr said he had no problem admitting that Ruffalo had every right to make his own decision, he then turned to the camera to deliver a private message to his former colleague in a whisper. This message, delivered in typical Downey Jr. style, went like this:
“Fuck you, Mark.”
As a side note, Downey Jr also revealed that Chris Hemsworth, best known for his role as the all-powerful thunder god Thor, was about to forego the tattoo due to his reaction to pain. It seems that even the gods can have their weaknesses.
