It may have been the end of the road for Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man but the actor won't feel the pinch financially, thanks to the contract he negotaited with the filmmakers a few years ago.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 54-year-old actor, who has been the face of Marvel Studios' money-minting Marvel Cinematic Universe, had managed to strike a "unique financial arrangement" with studio chief Kevin Feige couple of years ago. This unique deal landed him massive paychecks for the next few films.

Sources told the outlet that Downey Jr is estimated to have made at least USD 75 million in salary from last year's blockbuster Infinity War, which raked in over USD 2 billion at the global box office.

It was also revealed that for making an appearance in the 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming, the actor received USD 5 million per day for just three days of shooting.

All these figures are expected to be topped by Downey Jr’s paycheck for Avengers: Endgame, which is currently flying at the box office everywhere. It has till now e arned USD 1.2 billion and is going strong.

Downey Jr’s fellow Avengers stars - Chris Evans, Scarlett Johannson and Chris Hemsworth - also negotiated their salaries for future Marvel films.

Evans, who portrays Captain America in the MCU, initially had a five-picture deal, which did not include cameos. However, he renegotiated the deal in the range of USD 15 million to USD 20 million, before his appearance in Endgame.

Hemsworth, who originally signed on for five films back in 2010, renegotiated his contract to play Thor in Infinity War and Endgame. He also managed to earn between USD 15 million and USD 20 million per film. He is said to be ready for the next phase of MCU films.

Actors Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), who are set to star in their respective Disney+ shows, have also renegotiated their deals with the studio that are separate from the movie contracts.
