Whether he flops or not is irrelevant...all that matters is if he's still a good actor and how good it's gonna look in trailers and previews.

Iron Man sold well with RDJ coming out of a long hiatus
Thor sold well with some unknown playing the main character
Cap 1 & 2 did numbers despite the lead being the guy who played Johnny Storm in those horrible F4 movies

Iron Man is a well known character

So is there

So is Cap

Strange is not well known...strange is...i dont know...constantine like on the level of knowness...they have to have a star for Strange or people are just gonna be like "I never heard of this dude or this character" and not check for it at all

Depp and Jolie cacced it up so much in the Tourist that they became insufferable to the cac audience they were pandering to...

Plus the Native Americans put a curse on Depp after that publicity stunt shyt he pulled for The Lone Ranger...Dude went from saying "No it's okay I can play Tonto I am part Indian"...to "Well I think I am Indian my grandma hung around Indians"...to "Well this random Indian lady made me an honorary member of the tribe so yeah I can play Tonto" :camby:

Jolie fell off so bad she had to go to disney to try and reinvent herself...Did that Land of Blood and Honey movie ever come out? shyt was supposed to be her directorial debut and it just became vaporware...

Oh shyt it did come out and made a smooth 300k...

Moreso about him picking horrible projects than falling off. All his films are eccentric trash where he plays over the top characters. This new film is different, but also apparently sucks.

Marvel is not going to risk a 3rd tier character's movie like Dr. Strange being a box office failure because they cast an actor in the lead with a consecutive run of big money flops.

Is you nikkas comparing Robert Downey jr to this nikka? :dahell: RDJ is charismatic and you can see that on the screen. He can play any part and actually elevate a shytty script. Johnny Depp a fukken weirdo. Mann that nikka in a really weird spot right now, he basically threw that heart throb shyt in the bushes, so he can't be cast as a handsome leading man. At least the gawd Matthew Machoghey can go back to that if he needs to.

Mannn he really played himself when he tried to act Native American. Them Nation nikkas were like we see you playboi:leostare:, here is this "Honorary Indian certificate", give us some cash and now fukk off.
They conjured up them ancient spirits and put a hex on mofos career.

Robert Downey Jr played the coked up weirdo friend in damn near all of his 80s movies. Now he's playing the ex-cokehead roles. Johnny Depp plays an eccentric type. They both do over-the-top roles.

Breh what does that even mean?:mindblown: In Zodiac he was a reporter, in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (good movie BTW) he is an actor. He wasn't a former drug addict in any of his recent stuff.
