“His cumulative body of work from these movies is staggering,” said Joe Russo, while promoting the record-breaking “Endgame” this week in Washington. “If you look at the work over just even the last four [Marvel] films he’s done, it’s phenomenal. . . . He deserves an Oscar perhaps more than anyone in the last 40 years because of the way that he has motivated popular culture."
“I’m really strong at coming in and saying: ‘There’s something behind that wall [creatively], so let’s knock it down and be bold there . . .’ ” Downey said. “I know it sounds weird, but I have equations in my head, and those equations apply to where people should be and [what] the frequency of the interactions should be — and the words and the dialogue and the props come in later.”
Joe Russo noted that a larger issue here could be how the Academy has come to view popular entertainment, compared with Hollywood’s past.
