As James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy reaches and
surpasses the $500 million milestone at the box-office, Iron Man himself,
Robert Downey Jr. praises the movie, and attributes the success of the underdog
to what came before, Disney, Kevin Feige, and luck.
While at the premiere of his new film, The Judge at
the Toronto International Film Festival, Downey admitted to the press that
Guardians of the Galaxy might just be one of the best movies Marvel have ever
done.
“[Guardians of the] Galaxy in some ways is the
best Marvel movie ever, and it’s odd for someone with — on occasion — an ego
the size of mine to actually say that! We’re talking about how the Iron Mans
and the Thors and the Captain Americas and the Avengers movies have afforded
Marvel the opportunity to essentially take what was a third-tier, minor, kind
of upstart bit of potential from one of their comic books series and say:
‘Look!’ It’s like you have a great quarterback, and his brother plays for
another team, and then you say: ‘Look, this is their second cousin and we think
he has a great arm and he should start.’ And then he goes and wins the
Superbowl!”
The actor then attributed the success
of Guardians of the Galaxy on
luck, Marvle Studios President and producer Kevin Feige, and the Walt Disney
Studios.
“The
armature and breadth of what Disney has done in their ability to put things to
market is unprecedented.”
