Now that Robert Downey Jr. is the face of two very popular, but very different big-screen heroes in "Sherlock Holmes" and "Iron Man 2," I'm probably not alone in wondering which iconic character he thinks would have the edge if the two crossed paths. After all, as audiences will discover when "Sherlock Holmes" premieres on December 25, the world's greatest deductive mind isn't a slouch when it comes to the physical side of crime-fighting.
So, when I had the chance to get a few quick questions with Downey at last night's red-carpet screening, I posed that very question to the superstar (and superhero) actor.
"Out of the suit, I think Sherlock would tear Tony up," Downey told MTV News, "but it depends — [Tony] might have a little piece of safety tech on him."
Think Downey has it right, or would Tony Stark put up more of a fight? Let us know what you think in the comment section or on Twitter!
