In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood superstar Robert Downey Jr. has expressed keen interest in teaming up with Mel Gibson’s newly formed non-woke production studio, indicating his frustration with what he perceives as increasing wokeness in the film industry.
The iconic actor, renowned for his portrayal of Iron Man in Marvel’s blockbuster movies, recently voiced his concerns about the direction of modern cinema during an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly. Downey Jr. made it clear that he is looking for a creative outlet that aligns more with his personal views and artistic preferences.
“It’s time for a change,” remarked Downey Jr. during the interview. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Marvel, but the constant push for wokeness in Hollywood has become exhausting. I want to work on projects that resonate with audiences on a deeper level, without sacrificing artistic integrity.”
Mel Gibson’s production studio, known for its commitment to traditional storytelling and avoidance of politically charged narratives, has garnered attention in recent months for its alternative approach to filmmaking. The studio’s emphasis on compelling characters and compelling narratives has struck a chord with actors like Downey Jr., who are seeking creative freedom outside the confines of mainstream Hollywood.
