After leaving his iconic role as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. faced the challenge of redefining his career. The dismissal box office performance of ‘Dolittle’ further raised eyebrows. However, his comeback with Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ was both unexpected and riveting. Portraying the complex character of Lewis Strauss, Downey delivered an Oscar-winning performance for Best Supporting Actor, his first-ever win. The film won both, critical and commercial acclaim, with a box office collection of $974 million.
