“With director (Park Chan-wook, The Vengeance Trilogy) at the helm, I expect this to be a creative producing adventure for Susan, me and Team Downey, and a stimulating process for myself in playing these complex supporting roles.
“A24 and HBO are the perfect combination of partners and co-parents. It’s exactly the type of challenge I’ve been craving, and I believe we will deliver an exceptional viewing experience to our audience.”
This isn’t the only transformative role Downey Jr has taken recently, with the actor recently also looking unrecognisable in Oppenheimer, where he plays head of the United States Atomic Energy Commission Lewis Strauss.
