Closing of an episode of ABC's Castle TV series, the comedy-drama's star Nathan Fillion, known for frequently collaborating with Marvel's The Avengers helmer Joss Whedon, had quite an amusing banter with that superhero assembly's Iron Man star; Robert Downey Jr. Showcasing what's commonely referred to as a "Whedonverse crossover", promoting both the film and TV series, watch the 30-second promo below!
What's most hilarious, or rather special, about this little banter is that, beyond Robert Downey Jr. respectively portraying Iron Man, Nathan Fillion has been a fan favorite to portray Ant-Man, one of the original Avengers member that didn't make it to the film's roster.
