How much money did Robert Downey Jr. make from MCU?
Initially, Robert Downey Jr. secured a rather modest paycheck of just $500,000 for his starring role in Iron Man. Interestingly, Terrence Howard, a more prominent actor at the time, received a higher salary for his supporting role as James Rhodes.
However, following the phenomenal success of Iron Man, largely attributed to RDJ's unparalleled performance, Marvel Studios approached him with a contract for multiple future films. This time, the dynamic had shifted, with Marvel Studios desiring RDJ more than he sought them. This shift in perspective was partly due to Marvel Studios' 2008 release of The Incredible Hulk, starring the renowned actor Edward Norton. Despite their expectations, the film didn't yield the desired results.
A social media user has meticulously traced RDJ's remarkable journey from his resurgence to global stardom, during which he transformed an initial $500,000 investment into an astonishing $450 million over just 11 years.
