Robert Downey Jr. expressed strong concerns about the potential use of AI to recreate his portrayal of Tony Stark, indicating his intention to sue future executives if that happens. He emphasized that he doesn't fear having his character's essence hijacked, citing confidence in the current decision-makers. However, he humorously acknowledged the possibility of being deceased while still planning legal action against the use of his likeness by future leadership.
Regarding the replacement of current executives, Downey stated, "I would like to here state that I intend to sue all future executives just on spec." This remark underscores his serious stance on protecting his legacy, even anticipating that those in charge now may not hold the same values in the future.
In a light-hearted exchange with podcast host Kara Swisher, Downey humorously remarked, "But my law firm will still be very active," suggesting that his proactive approach to legal matters will persist beyond his lifetime.
Downey elaborated, "I am not worried about them hijacking my character's soul because there's like three or four guys and gals who make all the decisions there anyway and they would never do that to me, with or without me," underlining his trust in the few key executives making significant choices in the Marvel franchise.
