Sources for the trade say Marvel is spending $80 million on the Russos alone to direct the next two “Avengers” films. In addition, Downey Jr. will receive “significantly more” to play Doctor Doom across the two films.

Downey’s deal also has multiple perks including private jet travel, dedicated security, and a ‘trailer encampment’. Downey remains the highest-paid member of the MCU by far with sources saying his appearance across ten Marvel films over the first three ‘Phases’ has seen him taking in between $500 million and $600 million from his MCU works to date.
