Robert Downey Jr. to Reunite With Shane Black for Parker Film at Amazon

 Robert Downey Jr. Yet again will work with "Kiss, Bang" and "Iron Man 3" producer Shane Black, albeit this chance to play a person who is extraordinarily less enchanting than Tony Stark.


Downey and Black are collaborating on another film for Amazon Studios in light of the person Parker, made by creator Donald E. Westlake (composing under the pen name Stark). Dark is co-composing the screenplay with Anthony Bagarozzi ("The Nice Guys") and Chuck Mondry ("The Cold Warrior"), TheWrap has gained from a source near the task.


The personality of Parker originally showed up in the 1962 book "The Hunter," where he's presented as an expert cheat who's left for dead by a past partner and spends the remainder of the novel attempting to find his previous assistant. The book was adjusted to film two times previously, in 1967's "Point Blank" featuring Lee Marvin and in 1999's "Compensation" featuring Mel Gibson. Most as of late, Jason Statham played the person in the 2013 film "Parker."


The personality of Parker is something of a screw-up with a hard-edge, a dangerous and careful criminal who is the hero of 24 books by Westlake.


Downey and Black previously cooperated on Black's acclaimed 2005 noir "Kiss, Bang," which to a limited extent revived Downey's profession following his battles with substance misuse. Downey has credited Black and "Kiss, Bang" with aiding land him on Marvel's radar for 2008's "Iron Man," which obviously sent off the entertainer onto one more crosspiece of superstardom. Downey gave back in kind, of sorts, by recruiting Black to co-compose and coordinate 2013's "Iron Man 3."


Since his personality's death in "Vindicators: Endgame," Downey has to a great extent disappeared, with 2020's "Dolittle" filling in as his just onscreen job since withdrawing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He additionally delivers the HBO series "Perry Mason" through his Team Downey standard.


Dark, in the interim, most as of late co-composed and coordinated 2018's "The Predator."


Amazon didn't promptly react to TheWrap's solicitation for input.


This news was initially revealed in Matthew Belloni's What I'm Hearing pamphlet at Puck.
