They are angry over the fact that Downey Jr. somehow discredited the latter’s past achievements, which are definitely not to be underestimated. But, his intentions were not like that. The other faction also came forward to express their opinions that he meant no harm with what he said. Despite working with Christopher Nolan in the past, this is going to be his first major role in his film. Not just that, the star is widely recognized for playing Tommy Shelby’s role in the BBC series, but he is yet to gain global fame which is another aspect of how his life would be affected given that the project is making buzz everywhere.
