Robert Downey Jr.'s Son Indio Lands First Lead Role Ahead of Avengers: Doomsday
Indio Downey lands his first lead role as a young man battling addiction, with filming set for 2027 and casting still underway.
- Musician Indio Downey, 33, landed his first lead role in the independent feature film Love In Vein, an adaptation of Ryan Leone's 2014 novel Wasting Talent exploring addiction and complicated relationships in Los Angeles.
- Director Will De Los Santos adapted the 'uncompromising' novel, stating the project gained deeper personal significance following Leone's death and his commitment to preserve the book's raw approach without diluting its difficult subject matter.
- Principal photography is scheduled for March and April 2027 in Los Angeles, with producer Chris Hanley developing the project alongside Orson Oblowitz, Tricia van Klaveren, and Ben D. Wallace; Blue Shark Pictures, backed by financier Jeffrey Gliwa, provides funding.
- Previously, Downey appeared in small roles, including a part in his father Robert Downey Jr.'s film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang at age 9, echoing his father's own struggles overcoming addiction in the '90s before becoming a leading Hollywood actor.
- Producer Hanley, who previously worked with Robert Downey Jr. on Two Girls and a Guy, called the casting a 'wonderful full-circle moment,' adding that Downey brings the 'vulnerability' and 'authenticity' the challenging role demands.
