I suspect Infinity War will the be the "Last Hurrah" for the current Avengers line-up in film. After that, they will shift the focus to a team including Spider-Man/Captain Marvel/Dr. Strange/Black Panther/etc to replace them.

Sam L will still be around as Nick Fury though. :win:

This, Spidey is probably going to be the new leader after Infinity Wars or they'll just abandon the Avengers completely

RDJ might make more money from Civil War than main star in his own movie. :russ::mjlol:

That money is for one person. He basically makes all the money the rest of the cast should be earnings but instead they are making 6 figures, low 7 figures.
You're furious we out here getting money :banderas:

To be fair he did fight for raises for the entire "Avengers" cast.

Fred.
:wow: so gracious

Both r replaceable can't think of anyone else to play iron man


Hemsworth and Chris Evans got big bumps. Hemsworth is getting somewhere around 8-10 million for Thor 3. And I think he got 10 million for the last Avengers.

Evans is around 5-7 million. Plus they get a little bit of the backend. Nowhere near Downey JR. But they get a small piece which ends up being probably 5 million each.

He was in more but nothing that made him a movie star . Terrence Howard and Jeff bridges and he'll probably even Paltrow would of been considered bigger stars than Downey when they did iron man1 as well. Jon favreau fought for Downey and that launched marvel . He still getting producer credits for that lol

Marvel still Isn't paying for as far as I can see. That's why supposedly Batista got drax over khal drago ( even though Batista killed it ) due to salary demands. Marvel kind of looks at it like you being in a hit marvel movie can raise your profile for other stuff , look at Colson and how he spun that into his own starring TV show , hemsworth is cashing in , Evans wants to direct so that's why he may leave but it helps him to be attached to marvel as one of the top guys .


No doubt. Iron Man 1 and Tropic Thunder brought RDJ's movie career back.

Marvel is on some bullshyt with not paying people but this right here is still accurate whether or not they're using it as an excuse not to pay. The average B-C list actor is going to take a little money to appear in a MCU movie because it raises their profile in other ways. Chris Pratt going from "Parks & Rec" to "GOTG" to "Jurassic World" is a prime example of this.

Fred.

That marvel stimulus package is real. They putting all sorts of batteries in these actors backs (and chests, don't even ask me how)

Thanos is about to catch multiple bodies :mjcry:

It really is Robert Downey Jr and friends :wow:


DiCaprio is right up there... maybe Cruise too

These deals where they forsake the upfront check for perfomance of the movie can be lucrative

Or risky AF.....


Eitherway Leo need to take time off sowing seeds in models/the planet and get back to film
