Downey Jr: 'Holmes would tear Iron Man up'

Rex Features

Robert Downey Jr has claimed that Sherlock Holmes would beat Iron Man in a fair fight.

Downey Jr has the starring role in the two upcoming movies Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man 2.

"Out of the suit, I think Sherlock would tear Tony up," he told MTV News. "But it depends - [Tony] might have a little piece of safety tech on him."

Sherlock Holmes premieres on December 25. Iron Man 2 is scheduled for release in spring 2010, in which the actor reprises his role as Tony Stark - aka Iron Man - from the first film.
