As sweet as he is, ageless actor Paul Rudd just unleashed an epic trash talk music video aimed at his AVENGERS: ENDGAME co-star Robert Downey Jr.

Rudd's new and hilarious video was just released for this week’s matchup in the AGBO Superhero League presented by FanDuel, a charity fantasy football league founded by Avengers: Endgame director Joe Russo and ESPN Fantasy Football expert Matthew Berry. Rudd recently unveiled the video on his personal Instagram account, in which he performs a parody of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" that's bound to get Downey Jr.'s metal panties in a bunch.

You can watch the full music video below:

In the video, Rudd stars as every member of his own band. There's some pretty epic wig action going on, in addition to plenty of clever wordplays that would likely make parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic beam with pride. Perhaps my favorite part is how serious Rudd looks while performing the song. Then again, I suppose you have to be when looking to rip on the man who played Marvel's Tony Stark, who is arguably the MCU's most egotistical character of all. 

To see Downey Jr.'s contribution to the ongoing feud, feel free to watch the video posted below:

Could this be the start of another tit-for-tat Hollywood bromance ala Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman? Is charity work among celebrities just another platform with which actors can exorcise their micro=aggressions toward one another? Who do you think won this round: Rudd or Downey Jr.? Let us know who think has scored the latest touchdown for comedy in the comments section below.
