Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo visited Korea in celebration of their upcoming movie “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.” On the episode of KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Weekly” aired on April 18, interviews with Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo are revealed. At the end of the interview, the two actors are given a figure of Lee Soon Shin, a legendary general from the Joseon Dynasty. Astonished at the unique figure, Robert Downey Jr. says, “This is so cool. It’s the same color as the Iron Man suit. Maybe we’re the ones who copied him. Don’t sue us.” Mark Ruffalo, too, says, “He’s the original Iron Man.” Meanwhile, “Avengers 2: Age of Ultron” tells the epic battle between the Avengers, protectors of peace, and Ultron, who believes that mankind must perish. The movie is especially the center of attention in Korea because parts of the movie were filmed in Seoul. Source (1)
