No matter how high Robert Downey’s asking price is for “Iron Man 4,” Marvel Studios will not have difficulty meeting it considering that his last stand-alone film “Iron Man 3” is the eighth highest-grossing movie of all time with its worldwide box office haul of $1.22 billion. So even if the actor asks for a significant raise on his $50 million salary, which he got for “Iron Man 3” and “Avengers,” Marvel is sure to give in, notes Venture Capital Post.
As Hollywood veteran actor Robert Duvall sees it, Robert Downey Jr. should not give up his Tony Stark role to anybody else when Marvel Studios decides to give the production of “Iron Man 4” a go in the future.
Duvall made the advice to Downey during a recent interview as the two actors were actually co-stars in the movie “Judge.”
But if it is up to Robert Downey Jr., he would sure like to hold on to the Tony Stark and Iron Man roles as those made him the highest paid actor in Hollywood for three years running. However, that decision is not on his hands. He even laughed at the notions that he has the authority to make a decision on it like he was a casting director for Marvel which he is not.
The only concern of the studio at this point is the oversaturation of “Iron Man” since Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark practically has a movie every year from 2014 up to possibly 2019.
I really want Robert Downey jr. to reprise his role as Iron Man/Tony Stark for Iron Man 4, the last Iron Man movie. Iron Man 4 should have the REAL Mandarin as the villain of the movie. I also want to see the Ten Rings return in Iron Man 4. I want to see Iron Man killing the Ten Rings and battling the REAL Mandarin in Iron Man 4. I want Fin Fang Foom to be the secondary villain of Iron Man 4. Fin Fang Foom should be the real Mandarin’s evil sidekick. I do NOT want to Harley Keener in this film. I want Happy Hogan or Pepper Potts to be killed off in Iron Man 4.
