Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) topless in the boxing ring in Sherlock Holmes (2009)
It was announced at the end of July that Robert Downey Jr. would return to Marvel to star in the next two Avengers movies as Doctor Doom, but one year after he suited up as Iron Man for the first time, he also played the world's greatest detective. Downey stars opposite Jude Law in Sherlock Holmes, the 2009 whodunnit mystery adventure film that has jumped into the top 10 most popular movie chart on Hulu.
Sherlock Holmes is based on the famous novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, and Lionel Wigram, Simon Kinberg, Anthony Peckham, and Michael Robert Johnson also have credit for the screenplay. Kinberg is best known for directing the classic action comedy starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and he has also worked on several X-Men projects set in the Fox Marvel universe.
What Other Non-Marvel Projects Has Robert Downey Jr. Been In? Robert Downey Jr. will always be nearly indistinguishable from the role of Iron Man in the MCU, but he has been in other major projects over the years. His recent performance as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer won him his first Oscar and will go down as one of his most famous characters. He's also played Hank Palmer in The Judge, Paul Avery in Zodiac, Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder, and Charles Chaplin in Chaplin.
