Robert Downey Jr. Cheekily Honored Iron Man's Many 'Shippers' on Valentine's Day
Maybe Iron Man will add Dr. Strange and Star-Lord to his conquests after "Avengers: Infinity War."
Robert Downey Jr. launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Iron Man" 10 years ago, and he knows he wouldn't have such a ridiculous amount of money gotten this far without the fans. Over the years, the fans have embraced Tony Stark/Iron Man, and they really love it when he embraces his co-stars.
The Internet is filled with fan fiction and shipper dreams, and RDJ playfully honored them by posting an image of himself giving cheek kisses to Chris Evans (Steve Rogers, Captain America), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), and Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/The Hulk).
Happy Valentine's Day to all the shippers out there! ❤️???? pic.twitter.com/VAVwRLDumo

Nice. On screen, Tony seems most sweet on Pepper, but he's also super tight with his science bro Bruce, and does have that love-hate chemistry with Steve.
Fans appreciated the nod, but also suggested more options:

RDJ is the cheek-peck master!
For the record, there was a lot of love in the MCU on Valentine's Day, and we can't pass up a chance to bless this Perfect Peters shot of Tom Holand (Peter Parker/Spider-Man) and Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star-Lord):
Chris Pratt didn't leave him hanging -- he replied that he loved Tom Holland, too.
All of these MCU characters will feel the love together when they assemble for "Avengers: Infinity War," which opens in theaters May 4th, 2018.
