Occasionally, you'll go on some tributary trail of thought (and) I'll go like, 'Oh that's not how I see it, but I love that you see it that way'," he added.Downey Jr also said: "I'll tell you the truth. I didn't expect (the Marvel Cinematic Universe) to become what it became, and it is this very large, multiheaded Hydra at this point."Pressed on what Scorsese said, Downey replied: "It's his opinion. I mean it plays in theatres. I appreciate his opinion because I think it's like anything. We need all of the different perspectives so we can come to the centre and move on."His 2008 film "Iron Man" kicked off phase one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Downey Jr entered the Disney World in 2006 with the remake of "The Shaggy Dog".
