Robert Downey Jr. is set to become the highest-paid actor of all time, with his latest role as Doctor Doom in two upcoming Avengers films reportedly earning him over $79 million. Announced at San Diego Comic-Con, this role marks his return to the Marvel Universe, though not as Iron Man, a character he portrayed from 2008 to 2019. His contract includes a performance escalator for box office revenue shares, alongside perks such as private jet travel and dedicated security. This deal surpasses the previous records held by actors like Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, and Will Smith. Downey Jr. has already amassed approximately $513 million from his previous roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Filming for the new movies is set to begin in spring 2025, amid hopes that his return will reinvigorate the franchise following recent box office disappointments.
