Robert Downey Jr.’s films may live forever in the hearts of filmgoers, but he doesn’t want artificial intelligence-powered versions of himself making new ones, he said in a recent appearance on the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast.

Downey, 59, said he would sue any studios that try to re-create him digitally.

“I would like to here state that I intend to sue all future executives just on spec,” Downey told host Kara Swisher, who then helpfully noted that he would be dead when that happened.

“But my law firm will still be very active,” he countered, to laughs.

But Downey insisted he’s not currently obsessed with the possibility of digital soul-stealing after his death. His thoughts on AI and digital re-creation follow what he describes as “two tracks.”

“One is, how do I feel about everything that’s going on? And my answer is, I feel about it minimally because I have an actual emotional life that’s occurring that doesn’t have a lot of room for that,” Downey said.

He also said he’s not worried about current Marvel executives “hijacking my character’s soul because there’s, like, three or four guys and gals who make all the decisions there anyway and they would never do that to me, with or without me.”
