Despite the fact that Robert Downey Jr. has already left the film marvel, the fans and journalists, his name is still mentioned mainly due to the Saga about the avengers. For example, the media decided to recall the story that happened back in 2013. Then, in the authoritative edition, Deadline came out about the fact that Dauni Jr. demanded an increase in the fee for his colleagues when they were ready to leave the project due to financial differences with Marvel bosses.
Although in the interpretation of a number of resources, the act of Downey Jr. is regarded as heroic, in fact, everything was not so unequivocal - We Got This Covered reports that the actor himself was the actor in some sense. Claims of the acting composition of the Avengers were reduced not to the fact that their salary in the amount of $ 200 thousand per person was low in itself, but to the fact that this amount was significantly inferior to the Downey Jr. fees. Being "Frontman" Marvel, Iron Man earned $ 50 million per film. As a result, the actor put forward Marvel Studios ultimatum, threatening to give up the role of Tony Stark, and it worked: Marvel's leadership has revised the contracts of other stars.
Now it is difficult to imagine that there is such a gap between the fees of artists, but eight years ago, the alignment was different. The filmsened Marvel enjoyed success then, but before the current status of the cultural phenomenon, this project was still far away. Then, the first two films about the avengers became hits of box office, solo paintings within the framework of the kinased still experienced difficulties. In fact, at that time, only films led by Downey Jr. were unconditionally successful. All this suggests that the current stability and rainbow atmosphere around the filmsened Marvel did not form immediately.
