Robert Downey Jr. is set to reunite with former Marvel Studios' Iron Man saga, Black and Downey also previously collaborated on the 2005 black comedy crime-thriller, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which starred Downey in the lead role.
Now, the Lethal Weapon franchise.
The character of Parker from the long-running book series is often described as a professional career thief who is cold, calculated and known to have few redeeming qualities. Parker has been the inspiration for numerous crime action films such as Jason Statham's Parker in 2013 based on the 19th novel in the Parker series, and Mel Gibson's Payback in 1999. Black's last film was 2018's The Predator, and Downey's last film was Dolittle in 2020. Given Downey is known for his smarmy and quick-witted portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man in the MCU, the actor seems the perfect fit for the role of Parker, and his reunion with Black is sure to mark an exciting and entertaining adaptation.
