Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. is the new face of OnePlus
At least in India and China
Wearing a sharp suit, sneakers, a McLaren as a backdrop, and that signature Ironman confidence as an accessory, Robert Downey Jr. poses with the OnePlus 7 Pro in hand.
The photo, posted by the Avengers actor on Chinese social media website Weibo, confirms a partnership between Downey Jr. and OnePlus. The actor who played the iconic Tony Stark had this to say about the smartphone brand and their just released flagship:
“It’s cool to see a young brand disrupting the tech landscape. I was challenged to help them create an authentic campaign based on the tenets of quality and craftsmanship, and it’s already proving to be a great fit creatively. In checking out the upcoming ‘OnePlus 7 Pro’ the attention to detail coupled with innovative design was truly impressive.”
Starting May 14, OnePlus material starring the actor will roll out. However, if you live outside Asia, you might not be seeing any of this as the partnership only extends to China and India.

Prime Video has unveiled “Crime on Prime”, a major programming rollout to kickstart the new year with a powerhouse slate of crime and thriller titles.
The lineup includes high-profile adaptations from bestselling authors James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The season launched with the long-awaited return of the streaming platform’s hit crime thriller, Cross last month.
In its second season, stakes intensify as Cross pursues a ruthless vigilante targeting corrupt billionaire magnates.
A new series, 56 Days, portrays the story of a couple who fall dangerously fast in love, only for a decomposing body to be found 56 days later in one of the protagonist’s apartment.
The series is adapted from Catherine Ryan Howard’s novel of the same title. As its plot unravels, the question “Who killed who?” will be answered.
Meanwhile, Guy Ritchie’s re-imagining of the iconic character in Young Sherlock debuted on March 4. It stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin as a defiant, youthful Sherlock Holmes on his first case.
Furthermore, launching on March 11 is Liz Sarnoff’s gripping adaptation of the beloved Scarpetta novel series, starring Nicole Kidman as the medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta.
With skilled hands and an unnerving eye, she is determined to serve as the voice of victims, unmask a serial killer, and prove that her career-making case from 28 years prior isn’t also her undoing.
The lineup also includes a renowned list of local titles for the Filipino audience:
- The Silent Noise (KD Omalin)
- The Alibi (Kim Chiu, Paulo Avelino)
- Cattleya Killer (Arjo Atayde, Jake Cuenca)
- Sa Aking Mga Kamay (Christopher De Leon)
- Roadkillers (Nadine Lustre)

Players get to create their own hero and dive into the game, where they will be trapped inside a deadly medieval MMORPG.
The vast living world will help them shape their fate, allowing them to customize their avatar with unique skills, gear, and abilities. This transforms how they fight and survive.
The fluid combat system requires mastering dodges, parries, and well-timed attacks. Throughout, players will face many challenges, explore epic quests, and join forces with companions who will share the peril.
The game will launch on July 9 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S before releasing the next day for PC via Steam.
Bandai Namco has already opened pre-orders for Echoes of Aincrad, available in three game editions.
The Standard Edition comes with the base game. Meanwhile, the Deluxe Edition also comes with an expansion pack and early access to Death Game Mode.

Netflix has revealed the final trailer for One Piece: Into the Grand Line, exactly one week before its March 10 premiere.
The clip opens with a monologue from Monkey D. Luffy, reminding the Straw Hat crew of how far they’ve come to make it to the gates of the legendary Grand Line.
He mentions that it is time for the pirates to see what’s in store for them in the legendary stretch of sea.
Of course, that’s the treasure they’re seeking albeit encountering bizarre islands, new enemies, and unpredictable danger.
The clip then again features the larger-than-life scale of Season 2, including the towering Red Line, giant whale Laboon, Little Garden’s dinosaurs, and the giant, Brogy.
For a brief moment, the protagonist is also shown in an encounter with Smoker. Tony Tony Chopper, shown in the official trailer, once again made a quick appearance.
Just as action-packed as previous trailers, this 1:44 clip then culminates with more combat. There’s Zoro defending the crew at Whisky Peak.
Wapol and his metal-transforming Munch-Munch powers was shown in the end against Monkey D. Luffy.
The entire trailer is also set to an upbeat remix of “Come Sail Away” in the background, continuing the excitement from Season 1.
