The star of "The Avengers" and "Iron Man", Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. has threatened Marvel and other movie studios that will try to "revive" his character Tony Stark with the help of artificial intelligence. As you know, fans were forced to say goodbye to the superhero after his death in "Avengers: Endgame."

"I intend to sue all future executives," the star said in the "On With Kara Swisher" podcast, addressing those seeking to create a "digital copy" of Downey. This was reported by Variety.

However, the celebrity added that he has doubts that Marvel will dare to do so: "As for the MCU, I'm not worried about them stealing my character's image. There are three or four people who make all the decisions, and they would never do it with or without me."

However, as for other studios, Downey vowed not to turn a blind eye to such things. "I don't envy those who have been overly identified with the arrival of this new phase of the information age. The idea that it somehow belongs to them because they have super-sized startups is a mistake," the actor said. "The problem is that these individuals believe they are the judges of this technology. It puts me off talking to them, they are not honest."
