Sources say Marvel is plunking down $80 million for the Russos to direct "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars" and "significantly more" for Downey Jr.; filming will begin in London in the second quarter of 2025.

Jeff Sneider is reporting that RDJ is getting paid $50 million per film, or $100 million for both films.

For Downey, who helped catapult Marvel into a money-printing machine thanks to his turn as Tony Stark in the first “Iron Man” film in 2008, his deal also is filled with perks that include private jet travel, dedicated security and a whole “trailer encampment” for the newly minted Oscar winner. (Downey took home this year’s best supporting actor honors for his role in “Oppenheimer.”)

According to one knowledgeable source, Downey is by far the highest-paid member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has pulled down between $500 million and $600 million over the course of four “Avengers” movies, three “Iron Man” outings and cameos in “The Incredible Hulk,” “Captain America: Civil War” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
