Though the reason dates back to past, the grudge between the two over the matter still persists. The feud between the two began when Scarlett Johnson gave the idea of all the star cast having a matching Avengers tattoos for posterity.
Five of the original six Avengers got the tattoo, but it was Mark Ruffalo who opted out and did not agree with the idea. He remains the only member of the original Avengers team without an identical tattoo. However, Downey was even more dissed when Ruffalo said, I’m not getting that tattoo — I don’t want to be part of your Hollywood inside game, to which I applauded.”
In reply, Downey said, “F**k, Mark” to the camera. Downey Jr. still remembers the snub by Ruffalo and during The WIRED’s Autocomplete interview, the Oppenheimer star shared with Christopher Nolan that he had tried his best to convince Ruffalo but to no avail.
