If all goes as planned, Downey will be starring as a former police detective forced to retire after a traumatic incident in the line of duty that’s left him with vertigo and a crippling fear of heights, played by James Stewart in the original.
In the meantime, Downey has several projects lined up, in addition to a few awaiting release, including the Christopher Nolan-directed “Oppenheimer”, and the long-delayed Jamie Foxx comedy “All Star Weekend”.
