Avengers Stars Tom Holland & Robert Downey Jr. Share First Reunion Since Endgame

Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. reunited for the first time since Avengers: Endgame this week. During the Venture Into Cures EB Research Fundraiser event, the Iron Man actor decided to call his old protege up. Holland had some performative jitters and then his phone lit up.

In the process, we are pioneering a model to accelerate treatments and cures for EB and the 7,000 rare diseases that affect 10 percent of the global population.”

Here is some more information about EB:

“EB is a life-threatening genetic disorder that affects approximately 500,000 people worldwide. Called “Butterfly Children” because their skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly, children with EB face severe pain, open external and internal wounds, and a grueling daily bandaging process. There is currently no treatment or cure for EB, however EBRP’s innovative Venture”
