7. John Carter Isnt Played By Robert Downey Jr.
A major drawback of John Carter is that the title character isnt played by Robert Downey Jr. I dont know what was wrong with Andrew Stanton on this onethis factor had to have been obvious during the casting process. Maybe they did try to get him, I dont know; I wasnt able to find that information during my research. Robert Downey Jr. is an essential element of the success of any production. I mean, Robert Downey Jr. is a fantastic actor. Even when he pulls out his well-used witty, smart, and somewhat arrogant character template, it is legitimately very entertaining to watch every single time. Every movie can benefit from this, and Marvel Studios has. Robert Downey Jr. is arguably the core of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the reason why audiences have followed it so far. He really does have that much charisma, and the first Iron Man movie made him the star he has always been. Both John Carter and Tony Stark have personal battles that make them push people away. Both are incredibly difficult to get along with even when theyre in good moods. Both know that in politics and government, lines are blurred and there are always more to things than we think. Both are interested in science and learning how things work. But John Carter isnt played by Robert Downey Jr. And like Tonys counterpart in the comics, John Carter is just too serious for his own good. But Robert Downey Jr. being in The Avengers was only the beginning of its greatness. The next point on the list caused me to overload.
