Looks Like Robert Downey Jr. And The ‘Avengers’ Cast are battling Marvel over Money issues and the same Roles for the Next Installment of the Avengers 2 slated for a May 2015 Release.
An Interesting part i found was this
[quote]To counter, I’ve learned the Avengers cast are becoming united behind Robert Downey Jr who is seen as the “leader” – like “a big brother” in the words of one rep - for all the younger actors in the ensemble. “He’s the only guy with real power in this situation. and balls of steel, too. He’s already sent a message that he’s not going to work for a place where they treat his colleagues like shit,” one source explains. Another rep tells me, “I have four words for Marvel – ‘F--- you, call Robert.’” As Downey himself has said publicly about his $50M-plus payday, ”I’m what’s known as a strategic cost,” adding that Marvel is “so pissed” he earned that much. At this point also, no one is talking Iron Man 4 yet but it’s hard not to anticipate. Don Cheadle predicted there’s “potential” for a 4th installment. “No one has been specific about what that might look like or what the story could even be,” he said. “First we have to see how this one plays and if people have an appetite for it, and then we’ll figure out if there’s a way to convince Robert to come back and do another one.”[/quote]
Apparently, The Only one with REAL Power, is Robert as he is irreplaceable as Iron Man because of his great acting skills along with the Major reason why "Avengers" was such a big success and that the Public would refuse another actor replacing Robert as Iron Man.
Looks like Iron Man Still takes charge................................against his Creators...

Marvlel. Avengers grossed over a billion dollars worldwide, excluding DVD sales. A raise isn't exactly going to have a massive detrimental effect on this gargantuan revenue. Classic example of monopolistic greedy business practices.
