Having someone like Robert Downey Jr. as a mentor has to be an invaluable resource for Tom Holland, with the veteran star having experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows throughout a career in the industry that’s spanned 50 years and counting, one which took a detour to rock bottom along the way.
Downey Jr. broke out as a teen comedy star, securing his first Academy Award nomination for Chaplin at the age of 27 before spiraling downwards over the next decade, leading to multiple drug-related arrests and stints in rehab. What followed was one of the most startling reinventions of the modern era, as the man many had written off became the most popular and highest-paid movie star on the planet.
Of course, 24 year-old Holland has already experienced much more success than RDJ had at the same age, but having seen the best and worst of Hollywood he’s in a unique position to offer advice and life lessons. The duo have already collaborated on four movies, but their interactions in Avengers: Endgame were minimal and they were never even on set together when the MCU’s Spider-Man voiced a glasses-wearing dog in Dolittle.
Insider Daniel Richtman is now claiming that the two are now actively seeking another project to work on together, although he doesn’t offer any further details as to what, when or where. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard something similar, and Richtman himself even reported an Uncharted sequel as a potential destination, but once Holland wraps Spider-Man 3 his schedule looks pretty clear, while Robert Downey Jr. has yet to commit to what could be a hugely important next step after his first post-MCU endeavor ended in disaster.
