Hitting the trolls back, Robert Downey Jr. who played the role of Iron Man in the Marvel movies alongside Pratt, took to social media. "What a world... The “sinless” are casting stones at my brother, Chris Pratt...," Downey Jr. wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself and Pratt on the set of Avengers: Endgame. "A real Christian who lives by principle, has never demonstrated anything but positivity and gratitude... AND he just married into a family that makes space for civil discourse and (just plain fact) INSISTS on service as the highest value.".

He continued, "If you take issue with Chris,,, I’ve got a novel idea.. Delete your social media accounts, sit with your OWN defects of character, work on THEM, then celebrate your humanness..." as he tagged Chris Pratt with "I #gotyerbackbackback."
