I am Iron Man, still: Downey Jr. back for Avengers 2 and 3 after revealing $100M payday

Hollywood hunk Robert Downey Jr has confirmed he will return as the Iron Man in the next two Marvel movies.

The 48-year-old will star as billionaire playboy Iron Man Tony Stark in the upcoming Avengers 2 and 3 films.

Robert recently revealed he earned a staggering $50 million each from the first Avengers movie and Iron Man 3.

He told GQ mag: “Isn’t that crazy? They’re so p*****. I can’t believe it. I’m what’s known as ‘a strategic cost’.”

However, he was reportedly annoyed at the fact his cast mates were paid far less, and refused to sign up to the sequel unless the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L Jackson and Mark Ruffalo were given a cash bonus.
