Robert Downey Jr.s films may live forever in the hearts of filmgoers, but he doesnt 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 hes 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 thats going on? And my answer is, I feel about it minimally because I have an actual emotional life thats occurring that doesnt have a lot of room for that, Downey said.

He also said hes not worried about current Marvel executives hijacking my characters soul because theres, 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.
