His remarkable comeback came in 2008 when he portrayed Tony Stark/Iron Man in Marvel's "Iron Man," a role that transformed him into a global superstar and became the cornerstone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He subsequently starred in numerous blockbuster films including "The Avengers" series, earning over $14 billion at the global box office.

“You see, when a nation threatens another nation the people of the latter forget their factionalism, their local antagonisms, their political differences, their suspicions of each other, their religious hostilities, and band together as one unit. Leaders know that, and that is why so many of them whip up wars during periods of national crisis, or when the people become discontented and angry. This is the explanation of all wars, all racial and religious hatreds, all massacres, and all attempts at genocide.”

“The trails are a reminder of our insignificance. We come and go, but nature is forever. It puts us in our place, underscoring that we are not lords of the universe but components of it...So when the world seems to be falling apart, when we humans seem to be creating messes everywhere we turn, maybe it's time to rejuvenate in the cathedral of the wilderness - and there, away from humanity, rediscover our own humanity.”
