Actor Robert Downey, Jr. has officially left the upcoming project “Cowboys & Aliens,” Entertainment Weekly reports.
Downey has a scheduling conflict with a potential “Sherlock Holmes” follow-up that, according to sources, Warner Brothers is eager to get into production and into theaters. The new big-screen version of the consulting detective has taken in close to $200 million in the United States and over $300 million world-wide.
Downey’s leaving “Cowboys” has been rumored for weeks now, but was only officially confirmed this week.
Downey would have worked on the project with “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau.
Personally I’m glad he’s left the project. I’m suffering from Downey Jr Over-Exposure lately. Seriously, it’s a genuine medical condition. Google it…
