This could be a chance for Downey Jr. to finally secure his first Academy Award by defeating Mark Ruffalo and other notable contenders at the 2024 Oscars. The rematch begins as both actors have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for their portrayals in different films.

Robert Downey Jr. To Clash With Mark Ruffalo Again For an Oscar

Acclaimed actor Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Lewis Strauss needs no introduction, considering how flawlessly he slays his roles and how fans praise his acting skills. Similarly, Mark Ruffalo who plays Hulk in the MCU alongside Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, turned out to be one of his contenders in the battle of the acting world. However, the 2024 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in any Motion Picture has been helmed by Robert Downey Jr., but the match doesn’t end here!

Here comes a rematch between the two where the Oppenheimer star has to defeat the Poor Things actor to earn his first Oscar. After years of waiting for an Oscar nod, the Avengers have finally managed to earn Academy Award nominations for their recent roles. This showdown becomes more intriguing as Ruffalo hasn’t been nominated since 2016, and Downey Jr. was first nominated in 1993 for Best Actor, followed by another in 2009 for his role in Tropic Thunder for Best Supporting Actor.

Mark Ruffalo’s Hit Smash Performance Makes The Rematch Tough For The Academy Award

Even though Robert Downey Jr. has swept notable accolades this award season, we cannot ignore Mark Ruffalo’s strong performance in Poor Things, for which he has earned the Oscar nod. Unlike the 2024 Golden Globes, the Academy Awards rematch will be stiff, and the stakes are high. Both actors are considered Hollywood’s most versatile and talented actors.

From their Avengers showdown as Iron Man and Hulk to their fight for this year’s Oscar, it would be intriguing to witness who wins the title. Apart from the two Avengers, other nominees include Ryan Gosling for Barbie, Robert De Niro for Killers of the Flower Moon, and Sterling K. Brown for American Fiction.

Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal of Duncan Wedderburn has brought more recognition for Poor Things after the movie was praised for Oscar winner Emma Stone‘s performance as well. So it’s extremely tough to predict who will win the Best Supporting Actor and whether Downey Jr.’s performance was strong enough to give him the first Oscar after he had been snubbed not once but twice.

Oppenheimer will soon be available to stream on Peacock.
