Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. has booked his first since hanging up Tony Stark/Iron Man role with
Avengers: Endgame. The actor is set to co-star in the HBO drama series adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Sympathizer".
Oldboy director Park Chan-wook will not only be co-showrunner, along with Don McKellar but also will helm the series.
According to Deadline, "The novel is an espionage thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his resulting exile in the United States. A worldwide search is underway for the lead role and the rest of the predominantly Vietnamese ensemble."
