5 Years Before The Avengers, RDJ & Mark Ruffalo Teamed Up In One of the 21st Century’s Best Crime Thrillers

Before they were saving the world together as the Hulk and Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. actually shared the screen in one of David Fincher’s finest films – the 2006 thriller Zodiac. It’s a genuinely chilling and gripping true-crime story, based on the infamous hunt for the Zodiac Killer. The movie focuses on Jake Gyllenhaal as a cartoonist consumed by the case, alongside Ruffalo as a determined inspector and Downey Jr. as a quick-witted journalist. Their paths all converge as they desperately try to unmask the killer, and it’s fascinating to see their dynamic before the Marvel universe brought them together.
