Robert Redford’s retirement from movie acting lasted about six months, thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The actor, director, producer and founder of the Utah-based Sundance Institute told The Salt Lake Tribune last fall that he was “pretty committed to retiring from acting” and “moving into new territory as a director and producer.” His starring role in the heist comedy “The Old Man and the Gun,” which opened in theaters in October and earned Redford a Golden Globe nomination, was touted as his last movie role.
