I mean since 2015 he has literally only done Marvel movies. His next two films are Avengers 3 and 4. I see he has a few projects in development but man even when hugh jackman was doing x men movies he diversified, I would imagine the studios would want him for everything. Weird.

yes, irony is, RDJ who was heralded as one of the best of his generation when he started out (some would say "sold out") as Ironman, seems to go out somehow tarnished in the sense of being typecast and as an character actor.
While Hugh Jackman, arguably an talented actor but not in RDJ's league, leaves X-Men with a diversified portfolio and greater reputation than when he started as Wolverine.
That is partially attributable to the quality of the franchise writing of course, that had RDJ after IM1 without proper arcs and genuine character development and as mere commercial booster (SMHC), while the Logan character got better per movie.
There is a reason for Lego Batman's famous secret password after all.

not per se, prevailing opinion distinguishes between "artificial" and "commercial" boosters: - " Artificial Booster" as coined by formersamhdm derives from "art", "artsy" or "artful". It essentially is a concession that a fictional work's success is based on artistic value, even though the relevant person does not wish to admit this openly and/or to himself. - " Commercial Booster" as coined hereby, is a statement that something - e.g., a popular character - is inserted into a fictional work to boost commerce (sales), but the term does not include a negative or positive statement regarding the artistic value and merits of the insertion.

I guess he doesn't want to
It actually makes it kind of funny when people say he wants to quit so he can go do other projects.

RDJ is happy doing what he does, even though he could do whatever he wants now. I think he's working on Sherlock Holmes 3.
As for Jackman, he spent most of his career being Wolverine so he's happy to do other stuff outside it. RDJ's had more of career before Iron Man.

Wasn't the last thing he did outside of Marvel "The Judge"? I guess he doesn't want to go through that critical drubbing again.

I i have seen his work how he is like a 3 time nominated actor is beyond me,hes the same in most of his movies and one dimensional. Johnny Depp is true thespian,hes more of a character actor than RDJ. I mean he can do character roles and lead rolea. Wormhole,Blackhole and DC fan can use RDJ to prove their point whenever they bash MCU films.

Robert Downey JR character put on blackface,even if its joke tbey still used blackface. I doubt nonwhite actors could play the same role without getting Backlash
