Robert Downey Jr. spilled some tea on the tattoo he shares with his fellow original Avengers.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is massive now. However, at the start it centered around his Iron Man, Chris Evans‘ Captain America, Jeremy Renner‘s Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo‘s Hulk and Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor.
If you were unaware, five of the six members of the core cast decided to get a group tattoo after the release of Avengers: Infinity War in 2018. The movie was one of the final ones that they all appeared in together, and the tattoo commemorates their bond.
During a segment on Wired earlier this year, Robert opened up about the tattoo, revealing some additional details. For instance, he confirmed which member of the cast opted out of getting inked and which was seemingly hesitant. He even revealed who was brave enough to go first.
Following the news about a possible reunion of the original six Avengers, we revisited Robert’s revelations!
Chris Hemsworth “seemed to overreact to the pain”
Robert said that Hemsworth also seemed “a little tentative about it.”
Mark Ruffalo did not get the tattoo
Out of all of the original Avengers, Mark is the only one without the tattoo on his body. Robert said that he was upfront about it and said, “I’m not getting that tattoo – I don’t want to be part of your Hollywood inside game.”
“To which I applauded,” he said before looking at the camera and jokingly cursing him out.
Scarlett Johansson was the first to get tattooed
After Scarlett, Evans was up next, followed by Robert and Jeremy.

Speaking of Chris, did you know that he competed with at least 10 actors to book the role of Captain America?!
