Robert Downey Jr.'s Avengers: Doomsday Pay Revealed
Robert Downey Jr. is set to star in Avengers: Doomsday, and according to a new report, his pay for the film won't be coming at any sort of discount. What is Robert Downey Jr.'s Avengers: Doomsday pay? According to a new report from Variety on the upcoming slate of movies for Marvel Studios, Downey — who has already earned between $500 and $600 million from his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — won't be 'working at a discount' for Doomsday. In a since-edited report, Variety originally reported that Downey would be making 'significantly more' than $80 millon for his roles in both Doomsday and Secret Wars. This suggests that Downey is likely set to earn over $100 million for his roles, pushing his total MCU earnings into some very wild numbers. Past reports from Variety also note that Downey has gotten a ton of perks for his upcoming turn as Doctor Doom. These include things like private jet travel, dedicated security, a 'trailer encampment,' and more. Although Downey headlines it, the remaining cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday will be massive. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby's Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie's Captain America, Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright's Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd's Ant-Man. More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell's U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta's Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach's The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu's Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer's Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman's Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez's Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour's Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Winston Duke's M'Baku, Hannah John-Kamen's Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen's Magneto, Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn's Mystique, James Marsden's Cyclops, and Channing Tatum's Gambit. Avengers: Doomsday is slated to release in theaters on December 18, 2026. Solve the daily Crossword

James Gunn once again confirms that Robert Pattinson's Batman won't be part of the DCU, and I'm pretty disappointed
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. James Gunn has once again confirmed that the DCU Batman won't be Robert Pattinson – and I'm still disappointed. "We've talked about it before, but it's not what's happening right now," Gunn told Entertainment Tonight. "Everything's in flux, so we'll figure out what we're doing next." Before Superman, I was pretty opposed to the concept of Pattinson's Batman joining the main DCU, because I loved The Batman so much I didn't want to muddy the waters with a crossover. But, after watching the first DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters movie, the idea of seeing Pattinson's grim Dark Knight teaming up with David Corenswet's optimistic Supes really grew on me. So, I'm fairly sad that it doesn't seem to be on the cards. Still, I am looking forward to the DCU's Batman project, which is titled The Brave and the Bold and will feature Batman and the Damian Wayne version of Robin. "There's really no new updates," Gunn told us recently of the movie. "I mean, we're working on a script. We have a screenwriter who's hammering away at it. I'm very involved, and so, you know, we'll see what happens next. I wish I had more news for you, but I don't." The Batman 2, meanwhile, is due in October 2027. The latest update on the Elseworlds movie is that Matt Reeves has turned in the script. Next up for the DCU is Peacemaker season 2, which arrives next month. The next theatrical release is Supergirl, which is landing next year. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming DC movies and shows for everything else the studio has in store.

'Fantastic Four: First Steps' proves why the MCU needs to get weirder to shake its post-'End Game' slump
I fell off the MCU hard after "Avengers: Endgame" — and I'm far from the only one. Marvel has struggled to regain its momentum post-Thanos snap, a fact made crystal clear last year when Robert Downey Jr. was announced to rejoin the franchise. Between a convoluted jumble of multiversal plotlines and TV spin-offs, the prominent exit of the MCU's next big bad, and extensive reshoots that left big-ticket sequels like "Captain America: Brave New World" a hot mess, the MCU is facing a reckoning. Don't think that the MCU's stumbling means audiences are any less hungry for superhero flicks. The success of James Gunn's 'Superman' proves there's still a strong appetite for caped crusaders. It's the highest-grossing solo Superman film to date after earning $292.4 million domestically at the box office, overtaking the $291 million total of the 2013 "Man of Steel." The critical success of recent MCU entries like "Thunderbolts" is a promising sign that Marvel may be close to finding its groove again. After seeing "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in the theaters, I'm confident Marvel can keep this momentum going — but only if it commits to getting weirder from here on out. When it comes to the MCU, weird works. That much was clear even before "Endgame." Taika Waititi's "Thor Ragnarok" was a huge middle finger to the previous Thor movies, steeped in '80s rock opera camp with a comedic bent. It injected new life into one of the most underdeveloped Avengers after his snoozefest of a second film. In that same vein, "Wandavision" is the jewel of the MCU's catalogue of shows on Disney Plus, and it marked a stark departure for the franchise with its mix of sitcom shenanigans, fourth-wall breaking, and horror vibes. I wasn't surprised to learn the show's director, Matt Shakman, is in the director's chair for "First Steps, because both the TV show and the movie share a seriously impressive commitment to a distinct aesthetic. With the Fantastic Four's track record of big-screen adaptations, I wasn't looking forward to this summer's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." Then I saw the trailer, and I was immediately sold on the look, if nothing else. As a huge "Fallout" fan, the retro-futuristic aesthetic instantly caught my attention. Marvel was able to craft such a unique style for "First Steps" because it's set on a new Earth apart from the rest of the MCU, one where the Space Age never came to a close. And that fact shines through in every shot of this strange, colorful retrofuturistic version of Manhattan. It feels straight out of a comic book, a fever dream of mod fashion, Flash-Gordon-inspired rocket ships, flying cars, and midcentury modern pizzazz. It's visually distinct from anything in the MCU we've seen so far, and I sincerely hope it paves the way for even more stylish (and strange) versions of Earth in future MCU outings.
