    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.”

    I think the Russos ruined the Avengers by making it into a meta time-travel comedy in Endgame.

    But they make lots of money anyway, so…

    I’m just as skeptical about RDJ as Doctor Doom.

    Russo Brothers is the key to MCU, not RDJ. But why Russo Brothers made so many mediocre spy movies and TV shows?
