No one has cashed in their return to glory quite like Robert Downey Jr. Be it starring in films like Sherlock Holmes or Iron Man, or getting offered insanely intriguing projects like Gravity or even spearheading a few here and there like his still-gestating Steve McQueen project, Downey Jr. has become one of the hottest actors around.

But he sure loves his remakes and franchises. Variety is reporting that he and WB will be developing a big screen take on the iconic TV series Perry Mason as a possible starring vehicle for the actor.

The series starred Raymond Burr, with Warren William taking the character in a series of movies in the “˜30s, and has been a franchise long since dead. Personally, while it’s not a franchise that really has much stake in today’s landscape, that’s exactly the type of franchise that should truly be made. Downey Jr. is a highly charismatic actor, so he definitely has the ability to hold a film like this on his shoulders. What do you think?
