Robert Downey Jr. Launches Vehicle Renovation Show
After concluding his Marvel journey and prior to the release of his upcoming film Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. has been busy with his TV series, Downey’s Dream Cars. The series features the Marvel star converting six classic cars from his collection to make them more eco-friendly with a team of experts.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the idea for the series came after the Hollywood star started a climate tech venture Footprint Coalition that focuses on investing in innovative climate tech. The idea to restore his cars to make them more eco-friendly was suggested by his wife Susan Downey, as they didn’t reconcile with the aim of his company.
The Sherlock Holmes star has worked on these restorations with experts from across the country, and every car features a different kind of environmental technology. All six cars were on display for the show’s Los Angeles premiere.
Downey Jr. also hinted that he might already be planning a second season of the show saying, “I think that’s a season two commitment.” During the L.A. premiere, the actor also reacted to his Marvel co-star Jeremy Renner’s vehicle renovation show, Rennervations, released two months ago on Disney+.
