Downey Jr, during the promotions of 'Avengers: Endgame', was active with his social media posts and shared videos and photos with his other castmates. 

Fans took to Twitter as Downey Jr unfollowed his cast mates and expressed disappointment. One even wondered if the move was due to him hiring a new social media manager. One even directly asked the actor on an unrelated tweet. 

The actor's stint as Tony Stark/Iron Man ended with the last 'Avengers' film as his character died. The actor had a long run appearing as the superhero in 10 MCU films spanning over 2008-2019.

Interestingly, the actor still follows his former colleagues on Twitter.

Downey Jr will be next seen reprising his role as Sherlock Homes in the third part of the hit franchise 'Sherlock Holmes' which is scheduled to hit theatres in US in December.
