Ant-Man star Paul Rudd trash-talked his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-star Robert Downey Jr. in a new video for the AGBO Superhero Fantasy Football League.
AGBO's Trash Talk: Week 4 video showed Rudd dressing the part of four separate musicians, covering Black Sabbath's hit song, "Iron Man." While the aesthetic of the music video stayed true to the original, Rudd changed the lyrics, challenging Robert Downey Jr. to reply.
Rudd sang lines such as, "I've got [New York Giants player] Daniel Jones, trade you for Patrick Mahomes…I love you 3,000, but you’re going to lose to an Ant." At other points in the video, Rudd's 'band' performs in front of a backdrop with Jones' face on an illustrated butt and in front of images of Downey from the 1987 film, Less Than Zero.
The AGBO Superhero Fantasy Football League is a charity endeavor from Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo. As part of the competition, actors including Rudd, Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth are vying for $1.25 million in donations to charities of their choice. Last year, Rudd roasted Pratt with a staged segment that aired on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
A super fan of the Super Bowl LIV Champion Kansas City Chiefs, Rudd is playing for Big Slick Children’s Mercy Hospital this season and is currently ranked 8 in the AGBO league. Downey, best known for his portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man in the MCU, is playing for the Footprint Coalition. Downey currently sits in the #10 spot.
