Robert Downey Jr. Unfollows MCU Co-Stars on Instagram, But Not On Twitter? Here's the Reason Behind It
Robert Downey Jr., the popular actor behind Iron Man, is currently confusing "Marvel" fans after he unfollowed his MCU co-stars on Instagram. As of the moment, the "Avenger" actor is only following a total of 43 people on the giant social media platform.
On the other hand, he still has more than 50 million followers. The ones he is still following include Damien Hirst, one of the band members of "The 1975," and other well-known names.
As of the moment, Robert Downey Jr. still hasn't commented on the recent activity of his IG account. Since this is quite a serious matter for many MCU fans, some of them shared their thoughts on Twitter.
"In addition to dusting Thanos and his army out of existence, Robert DowneyJr. dusted his #Marvel co-stars on Instagram," said one of the Twitter users via Yahoo Movies.
"I wasn't ready for RDJ to unfollow the whole Marvel cast, it's like the end of an era," added another one.
Why Robert Downey Jr. Unfollows His MCU Co-Stars?
According to Digital Spy's latest report, Robert Downey Jr. still follows his "Marvel" co-stars on Twitter. These include Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Holland, and Chris Evans.
On the other hand, these actors also did not comment on the Instagram issue that MCU fans are going crazy about. Aside from this, Comicbook reported that Robert Downey Jr. is not actually the one that unfollowed the "Marvel" actors.

Some rumors claimed that he is not the one currently handling his IG account. Since this is the case, there's a high chance that Robert Downey Jr.'s manager is the one that did the unfollowing activity on Instagram.
Another thing that makes this more believable is that his manager currently prefers to focus on the current projects of Downey instead of looking back into the past days in Marvel Cinematics Universe.
Currently, Robert Downey Jr. is working as an executive producer on Netflix, together with his wife, Susan. The actor also hasn't commented yet if there's a chance that he would return to MCU.
Other Issues Of Downey
Aside from unfollowing MCU co-stars, Robert Downey Jr. also had a more serious issue since it includes sexualization. CBR reported that the producer of "Iron Man 2" was not really happy with how he sexualized Black Widow.
Producer Victoria Alonso also shared her feelings regarding Downey's inappropriate behavior towards Black Widow, saying she is not a thing. The issue happens after Tony Stark or Iron Man started to scroll his eyes through Black Widow or Natasha Romanoff and then said "I want one," which clearly means that he describes her as an object.
