Robert Downey Jr To Get More Than 80M USD And Additional Perks From MCU For Dr Doom Role? Here’s What Report Says

Robert Downey Jr.’s cost for making a return to Marvel Studios 

As a connoisseur of pop culture, I must say that Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe held a special place in many hearts until the poignant conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Now, it’s fascinating to witness RDJ returning to the world he helped shape, taking on a new role within this legendary franchise.

1. According to some reports, it turns out that bringing him back was quite an expensive endeavor for the studios. For instance, Variety claims that Marvel Studios is looking at a whopping $80 million to bring back directors Anthony and Joe Russo, who were just announced as returning for the upcoming Avengers movies.

As an obsessed fan, I can hardly contain my excitement over the rumors about Michael Fassbender’s reportedly steep price tag for reprising his role as Oppenheimer in the upcoming film. And it gets even better – Robert Downey Jr. is said to have secured a sweet deal too! His perks include exclusive private jet travel, not to mention a personal security detail and an expansive “trailer village” all to himself. Wow, talk about living the high life on set!

The Russo brothers don’t receive additional compensation based on box office earnings beyond their initial deal. Instead, they have performance bonuses that kick in between $750 million and $1 billion. Additionally, they will produce the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” under their AGBO production company.

1) For the first time, Marvel is venturing into a project without their regular team, as they found themselves in a situation where Downey Jr. was only agreeing to work with the Russo brothers, according to Variety’s report from an unnamed source who said, “He would only work with them.”

Why did Marvel choose a different villain when they already had Kang?

Due to Jonathan Majors’ recent legal issues arising from an assault and harassment conviction against his ex-girlfriend, Marvel’s parent company chose to terminate their agreement with the actor who portrays Kang.

Even as hope remained that Avengers: Kang Dynasty could be successful, its director, Destin Daniel Cretton, decided to leave the film instead.

1. Running out of choices, Marvel Studios revealed that Robert Downey Jr. would portray the villainous Dr. Victor Von Doom, marking him as the upcoming main antagonist, during the San Diego Comic-Con 2024.
