Mike Meyers is not, as far as I’m aware, involved.

In huddled conversation with very well sourced comic book film insiders in New York bars last night, before New York Comic Con, there was one big topic of conversation. That the next two Avengers films, Infinity War Part One and Two, will have a combined production budget of one billion dollars.

And of that, the above the line costs, that paid to the screenwriter, director, producers and principal actors will be a cool four hundred million dollars alone.

And of the actor budget, Robert Downey Jr gets half.

There’s no script yet. Not even a plot agreed. But it expected that a number of Avengers characters won’t make it out alive…

Mess. What if it bombed (compared to the budget) ? But I guess it won't since the hype is real

RDJ getting 200M for a two-part movie

So it's $500M per movie. That's probably around what Avatar cost, plenty of people estimated that exceeded $400M.

I can see part 2 having,The Defenders and the Guardians

Whore of Babylon

The Russos have come such a long way from directing Community episodes.

Well, one could consider the insane workload of production teams into this cost. That and it mentions a great deal of the money is being used to pay for the directer and the actors.

Slay us, Marvel. Kinda psyched to see who dies. Captain America, maybe?

Why does Robert gets half of the actor budget? He's not a very well known as an actor and to be honest his acting is rather mediocre. At least in my eyes..

Johnny Cash

Wait so $500 Million per film?

I should've guessed this since they're planning to shoot both movies entirely on IMAX

Marvel is not playing

When worse than expected is $1.4 billion, your franchise is in pretty fantastic shape.

Is this a joke? His acting as Tony Stark is acclaimed, and he's reached a point where he is irreplaceable as the character, like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.
