‘Iron Man 3’ star Downey recently confirmed he was paid $50 million, consisting of an upfront payment and a percentage of the film’s box office profits, for ‘The Avengers’ and is now reportedly spearheading efforts for his cast mates to negotiate better deals for the follow-up film after some of them received just $200,000 for the first flick.
