He just doesn’t want someone to make a dude of the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude.

If anyone can afford suing Disney, it's RDJ.

When suing a multibillion dollar corporation, that has more money than sense, it's going to be a war of attrition. RDJ likely has millions and would probably prevail in court but this assumes that SCOTUS, who currently being fucked in the ass by corporations, will rule in his favor.

Sure RDJ can afford it. But it will be bloody. Like Endgame.

He's not suing the company. He's suing the executives that approved the digital recreation.
