Robert Downey Jr. is not happy after seeing that fans on social media are trying to cancel his friend and Marvel co-star Chris Pratt.

A debate launched on Twitter this week and people were picking their least favorite “Chris” in Hollywood. A lot of people are claiming that Pratt is a Republican, though we found evidence that proves that is not actually true.

Mark Ruffalo has released a statement to defend Chris and now RDJ is speaking out as well.

“What a world… The ‘sinless’ are casting stones at my brother, Chris Pratt… A real Christian who lives by principle, has never demonstrated anything but positivity and gratitude… AND he just married into a family that makes space for civil discourse and (just plain fact) INSISTS on service as the highest value,” Robert wrote on Instagram.

“If you take issue with Chris… I’ve got a novel idea. Delete your social media accounts, sit with your OWN defects of character, work on THEM, then celebrate your humanness… @prattprattpratt I #gotyerbackbackback,” he added.

Robert Downey Jr. has confirmed that he won’t be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a new interview for the SmartLess podcast, the 55-year-old actor said that he is “done” with the franchise.

Co-host Jason Bateman asked him, “I’m assuming that the Marvel thing is at a slower speed now, or are you done with that now?”

“That’s all done,” Robert said. “As far as I’m concerned, I hung up my guns and I’m good to let it go.”

Robert also said, “I also think that Marvel is on this journey now. They’re trying a bunch of other stuff and you know, I’m excited for them to see how all that goes.”

SPOILER ALERT: In the 2019 movie Avengers: Endgame, Robert‘s character Tony Stark/Iron Man was killed in a battle.

See how Robert and other stars paid tribute to late star Chadwick Boseman during an ABC special this week.

Angelina Jolie, Robert Downey, Jr., and Oprah Winfrey are just a few among the many stars who paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman during an ABC special over the weekend, just days after his shocking death.

The ABC News special Chadwick Boseman – A Tribute for a King aired in between a commercial free premiere of Black Panther, and featured tributes from Josh Brolin, Forest Whitaker, writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, and many others, who spoke about his personality as well as his contributions to cinema and culture.

“I think that he not only played a superhero, but the way he handled his life and managing cancer with such humility and grace and dignity lets all know that he truly was a superhero,” Oprah shared in her tribute. “He will be remembered, cherished and loved in our hearts, not just for what he was able to offer on film, but what he was able to give as a human being, and it’s not just a loss that we’re feeling. We’re going to feel his absence.”

Robert added, “Toward the end of the third ‘Avengers‘ — ‘Infinity War‘ — we all kind of lose together. And I remember it was one of those few days that all of the Avengers were together and it was just the way that he walked on set and the immense success that had occurred, and rightfully so, with ‘Black Panther‘ … he was just kind of in this stratus of his own, but always, always humble, always hardworking and always a smile on his face. Now looking back, all the more I’ve realized just what an great incredibly graceful human being he was.”

Angelina remembered him as a true king, saying, “He gave all of us and all of our children an example of a great, gracious and humbled leader.”

Chadwick sadly lost his years long battle with colon cancer last week, passing away at the young age of 43.

Robert may be playing a supporting role in the upcoming untitled series.

The show is “based on a Toronto Life article by Michael Lista and centers on a frustrated Canadian detective who takes on a decades-old case in hopes of winning a confession and becoming a hero. The case quickly spirals out of control when the undercover cop attempts an elaborate sting, adding playacting cops, taxpayer resources and an unexpected friendship with the peculiar target.”

Adam Perlman, from Billions, will be writing and executive producing the show.

A brave little boy named Bridger went viral on social media this week after news spread that he shielded his younger sister from a dog attack.

Bridger needed more than 90 stitches after being attacked by the dog and his aunt Nicole Noel Walker posted his story on Instagram. She said she wanted the Marvel superheroes to know that they have a new superhero joining their ranks… and the stars have been reaching out to him!

Chris Evans told Bridger that he will be sending him an authentic Captain America shield and Mark Ruffalo also wrote a touching note to him.
