Robert Downey Jr.'s $100 M fee and latest Avengers: Doomsday details
Robert Downey Jr. is reported to receive a $100 million payout for his role as Doctor Doom in the upcoming Marvel films Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Co‑stars Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth are each slated to earn about $40 million, bringing the three leads' combined salaries to $180 million – roughly 30 % of the projected $600 million total production budget.
Plot leaks indicate that Doctor Doom will be portrayed as the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth‑828, wielding a mystical "Book of God." The spoilers also reveal a brief cameo for Monica Rambeau, who is said to be ill, and a storyline in which Thor travels with his daughter Love to seek Eternity as the multiverse collapses. Additional speculation surrounds the absence of several X‑Men characters such as Jean Grey, Storm and Rogue.
A new Marvel Rivals cooperative PvE mode titled "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was released as part of the Path to Doomsday event, featuring heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Scarlet Witch battling waves of Ultron‑controlled drones. The mode is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4.
