\u201cWell, it\u2019s nice to be a part of something that relates back to the whole legacy of the story, especially because that character was in the first real Marvel movie that started all of this,\u201d said Ehrenreich. \u201cAnd I had just worked with Robert Downey Jr. when I got this part, and so I got to talk to him about it and that was nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor also opened up about what it was like speaking to Robert Downey Jr. Although their conversation was short, Ehrenreich said he asked the legendary star about whether or not he should take on the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just FaceTimed with him, and I was like, \u2018So this has come my way, and this is the role \u2014 what do you think?\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Yeah, do it.’\u201d<\/p>\n
