Watch Robert Downey Jr. Geek Out About ‘Ironheart' for 14 Minutes

Watch Robert Downey Jr. Geek Out About ‘Ironheart' for 14 Minutes

Gizmodo08-07-2025
It's still unclear what impact, if any, the events of Ironheart will have on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but at least one person in it has already felt the effects. That would be Robert Downey Jr., the former Tony Stark, current Victor Von Doom and basically the Godfather of the MCU. Downey is a busy man, but he still found time to sit down with Ironheart star Dominique Thorne to geek out about the show for 14 minutes, and it's just a delight.
In what's apparently just part one of two from a larger conversation, Marvel just posted Downey and Thorne talking about the first three episodes of Ironheart. They're going to talk about the last three eventually too. But, here, Downey asks Thorne all about her process, specific scenes, character choices, and so much more, all as he contextualizes the latest show into the larger scope of the franchise. Check it out.
And while there aren't any major revelations there, you can just tell that Downey is being totally sincere about his love of this show. He's a great actor, clearly, but he wouldn't have done this kind of promotion for a show he didn't actually care about and enjoy. And he seems genuinely curious and excited about everything Thorne has to say.
Now, I do wish they were able to at least talk a bit more about spoilers since this is out weeks after those episodes first dropped. For example, I would love to hear Downey's thoughts about Alden Ehrenreich's character since he's so wrapped up in the history of Iron Man. But maybe that comes in the next installment. And maybe we'll see what the latest MCU mega-villain has to say about that other new MCU mega-villain.
All episodes of Ironheart are now on Disney+ and, like Robert Downey Jr. says, they're great.

White House Gives 'The View' Chilling Warning After Joy Behar Claims Trump is 'Jealous' Of Obama

Who knew the attempted dismantling of the First Amendment would be kind of dumb? The White House emailed an intimidating statement to Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday after the outlet reached out for comment about remarks Joy Behar made on 'The View' about President Donald Trump. During Wednesday's episode, the women of 'The View' discussed Trump's accusation that former President Barack Obama participated in a 'coup' against him in 2016 — an allegation Obama later called 'outrageous.' In response to Trump's claims, Behar immediately brought up Jan. 6, 2021, in which a horde of Trump supporters participated in an insurrection on the Capitol to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. 'The thing about [Trump] is he's so jealous of Obama,' Behar said. 'Because Obama is everything that he is not — trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It's driving him crazy.' In response to EW's request for a comment on Behar's remarks, the White House called the daytime talk show host 'an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.' It also alleged that the show has 'hit the lowest ratings' in recent years. The statement went on to say Behar 'should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air.' The Trump administration's ominous warning against 'The View' follows CBS's announcement last week that the 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' would be ending in May 2026. The network said it would not be finding a new host for the three-decade-long franchise, which was initially helmed by David Letterman. CBS claimed the decision was 'purely a financial' one, pointing to the general decline of late-night audiences. The news that the 'Late Show' was being canceled altogether occurred shortly after Colbert criticized CBS's parent company, Paramount, for agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a ridiculous lawsuit with Trump over a pretty standard edit made by '60 Minutes.' That settlement came amid a pending multibillion-dollar merger between Paramount and Skydance Media, one that requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, was a Trump selection. On Tuesday, Carr complained on X about the 'left's ritualist wailing and gnashing of teeth' over Colbert's cancellation. 'They're acting like they're losing a loyal DNC spokesperson that was entitled to an exemption from the laws of economics,' Carr wrote.

Zac & Dylan Efron continue to drive the gays wild, now with a steamy round of shirtless golf

The Efron brothers know exactly who their audience is — it's us, the gays — and we're hooked. A few weeks ago, Zac (High School Musical) and Dylan (The Traitors) sent the internet wild when Dylan posted a video 'describing summer in one word' that included the boys swimming around shirtless and enjoying a lake day. See on Instagram Now, they've taken it up a notch with a collab post together, getting us interested in something we would otherwise care nothing about: golf. That's it. That's the post. Just a 16-second clip of the Efrons whacking around golf clubs, driving around in golf carts, captioned 'Sticks.' Oh, and all while completely shirtless and looking far too attractive to be traipsing around the golf course. See on Instagram Naturally, the internet lost its mind as soon as the video dropped. — (@) From being concerned over how many times they watch the video to begging to be in an Efron sandwich, social media's thirst for the brothers has officially exceeded the Supernatural Sam and Dean levels. — (@) Under the Instagram post, some comments were more wholesome, like the woman who said it 'just feels right' to see the two of them on a golf cart again. Others, on the other hand, casually mentioned the, ahem effect, the golf video had on them, and their solo habits. Apart from the thirst comments, the song attached to the clip had some mixed reactions, with most people thinking it should have been Zac's 'Bet On It' from High School Musical. However, both Instagram and TikTok credit the audio as original, with TikTok saying it's from Dylan. I merely point that out in wonder if Zac isn't the only Efron to sing, and also if Dylan's about to drop some other talent on us… Anyway, let's hope these two aren't done sharing their summer together yet and keep our fingers crossed they'll keep us hydrated along the way.
