He's one of the biggest stars in Hollywood thanks to his role as Iron Man in Marvel Studios' movies.

And Robert Downey Jr's work playing Tony Stark - among other parts - will be recognised next weekend when he is handed the coveted Generation Award at the MTV Movie Awards.

We've recruited his Avengers co-stars Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner to present the gong to the 49-year-old actor.

MTV president Stephen Friedman said yesterday: "Throughout his career, Robert Downey Jr has mesmerized audiences by capturing the humanity in larger-than-life characters like Charlie Chaplin, Sherlock Holmes and Tony Stark.

"He's a brilliant actor and a Hollywood icon, and we are proud to recognise his tremendous passion and talent with this year's Generation Award."

The ceremony next weekend will also see the debut of a new 90-second clip from Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Previous winners of the Generation Award include Johnny Depp, Ben Stiller, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler, Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg.
