That's pretty much my reaction.

MOTTO

EXACTLY! At this rate, especially considering the script isn't even finished, it seems Marvel is doing everything to make me not want to see IM2.

[malevolent_poke]

What.

I don't know, maybe for once I'm in Marvel's corner on this one. Don't be such a Diva ass about your paycheck. Your part is not going to be as big as the other leads... just like Terrance Howard shouldn't have made more money than RDJ on Iron Man.

Marvel Studios is fairly new and still getting their shit together on making their own movies...

I'd prefer actors who believe in the project over people in it for the paycheck.

I totally agree.

I actually agree with what you're saying. It's impossible for them to pay everyone big bucks. Especially considering what they're trying to do with the Avengers.

Unfortunately, when a film is successful and there are sequels involved, people are going to expect a bigger piece of the pie the next go around. And as awesome as it is to have these characters crossing over into different films, it's also risky.

There's no easy answer for it.

You know, he said that Favreau told him they were writing things for Nick Fury. So, what I'm curious about is if they don't hire him back, what kinds of changes will have to be made in the script?
