Marvel fans have noticed something particular about Robert Downey Jr.'s Instagram account.
It appears as if he has unfollowed all of his Marvel co-stars, including Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and more of his cast mates that he worked with for over a decade on the Avengers films. Just Jared can't verify who he actually followed previously, but we can confirm he follows none of his Marvel co-stars presently.

One fan tweeted out, "So RDJ unfollowed the Marvel cast on IG and changed his iron man header. Oh."

Fans started reacting to this news and many were bummed!
Wtf?? It’s one thing to not be all about iron man anymore but what’s the beef with his fellow cast members?? Did I miss somethin

WHAT?? that seems so weird since he's so close to them

But some fans are explaining why they believe he unfollowed his co-stars.
I think people are blowing this out of proportion RDJ still has a lot of love for his Marvel cast mates ,but his manager is the one running his account now and is only focusing on brand stuff/other projects.

He doesn't control his social media, Jimmy used to do it since he died his manager is now in control of them and it's making his social media a business account 😔

I have a feeling his page is entirely promotional and professional, and it serves no use to continue connections with former workers. I hope that’s the case.

The Jimmy referred to in one of the tweets is Robert's longtime assistant who passed away.
Meanwhile, Marvel has been in the headlines today for another reason...an actor slammed Black Widow and had something to say about Scarlett Johansson, too.
