The former currently has Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in the can for November, before Captain Marvel whisks MCU fans back to the ’90s for a space-set adventure involving the Kree, the Skrulls and a Nick Fury still capable of 20/20 vision.

And RDJ? He’s been a fixture of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the very beginning, and will no doubt return to the fray once Avengers 4 steamrolls into theaters next summer. The creative duo are still friends, of course, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Jude Law kept a close eye on Downey Jr. as his Tony Stark cemented his place at the forefront of the MCU.

He had just done the first Iron Man when we first worked together. So I’ve sort of followed his journey and relationship with Marvel throughout, really.
