I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
UPDATE: Robert Downey Jr. Playing Hardball During Avengers 2 Contract Negotiations - CinemaBlend.com

"But the issues actually extend beyond Downey Jr., as it turns out that some of the other biggest stars in the MCU have also had money battles with Marvel Studios, one insider quoted saying, "Some received only $200,000 for Avengers and Downey got paid $50M. On what planet is that OK?" While the studio was inevitably able to look him up, Thor's Chris Hemsworth and his people took issue with the fact that he was reportedly only offered a $500,000 raise while working out a deal for Thor: The Dark World after the incredible success of The Avengers. The site says that many of the stars are "becoming united behind Robert Downey Jr." One source said, "He’s the only guy with real power in this situation. and balls of steel, too. He’s already sent a message that he’s not going to work for a place where they treat his colleagues like shyt."

*:salute: RDJ for standing up for co-workers*

it wasn't a flat rate of 50 mill. Downey was the only one smart enough to ask for a share of revenue. Or maybe just cause he had the star power to. I want to say 90% of that is from rev share.

Japan, but from the 989
If he leaves then he leaves. Dude has made MILLIONS from the role and I wouldn't be mad at him. If he doesn't like those 50 million dollar Avengers pay checks and wants to artsy stuff that's on him. We will see another Iron Man movie with or without him. Disney is going to make their Marvel Money...SHHHHHYYTTT!!!

These actors need to start negotating while they still have time for better contracts because whether they know it or not, THEY CAN BE REPLACED. RDJ is the only one who kinda made the character his own. They better get it together because ANYONE can play Thor, Captain America, Hulk, or Black Widow. You see Ed Norton got put out early. They better get their shyt together. The show WILL go on, the studios are making too much money to worry about some actors.

:wtf:

RDJ don't like his co-workers getting jerked so he spoke out on it. No shyt he could bounce and go do "artsy stuff". That has nothing to do with anything. He's not cool with a movie making over $1 billion and an actor on it got $200,000. Marvel has been notoriously cheap since day 1 and people like you are :yeshrug: "replace the whole cast, it don't matter". fukk all that. I'm not trying to watch this shyt if they replace the actors every other movie because Marvel is too cheap to hold down a cohesive cast. Next thing you know Marvel will get ideas that they don't need anybody, any of the actors, or Whedon, anybody can get replaced, because people care about The Avengers, which is :russ: as hell. They're a B tier team at best and the fact that all these movies have been as successful as they have been was a perfect storm.

I honestly could care less about the actors. LOL As long as the story is good I'm in. Yeah I'm an a$$hole but we have had to wait years upon years waiting for an Avengers movie. So would I be upset if RDJ left because of the actors aren't getting paid. Nope. They could come back with an entire different cast and I would still go see Avengers 2 and 3. I'm in it for the Marvel characters and that's it. I don't know about Whendon being replaced because he made Avengers come to life, but everyone else is EXPENDABLE. And they better believe it...Look right at you actors who portray Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye....and Iron Man!

And real talk...if this keeps up they should just go ahead and CGI everyone and get voice actors. CGI the shyt out of it and go Avatar on that ass! I've been riding with Marvel during the Howard the Duck days...I could give a fukk what an actor is or is not getting paid. I want my Marvel movies. We could be stuck with Batman and Robin or Batman Forever crap! Think about it!

90% of the reason Avengers was good was because of the cast's charisma . fukk replacing any of them, especially RDJ.

RDJ as Iron Man is equivalent to Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow to me. Both were perfect as their respective characters and sold me forever. Even if they were replaced and the reboots/sequels were good, I would probably still hate it because of my bias :manny:. I feel like most fans are like that as well and it would dumb to replace RDJ anytime soon.
