"Avengers 5: Doomsday" has been making frequent headlines recently, from releasing its official trailer to generating buzz at San Diego Comic-Con, keeping the conversation alive. For such a massive blockbuster production, there's naturally curiosity about Marvel Studios' financial investment. According to a report from the entertainment outlet "Page Six", the salaries for the core trio of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth alone account for a substantial portion of the budget.

"Page Six" indicates that "Doomsday" and "Avengers 6: Secret Wars" are being produced concurrently, with actor salaries for the sixth installment already negotiated. Downey alone is reportedly taking home a staggering $100 million for both films, surpassing earlier rumors of $80 million. Evans and Hemsworth are each set to receive $40 million for the two features, bringing their combined earnings to a massive $180 million. This figure doesn't even include the lucrative backend box office percentages, which will add another substantial sum upon release.

Further sources indicate that the combined production budget for "Doomsday" and "Secret Wars" is approximately $600 million, which is notably less than the $800 million spent on "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" combined. This means the trio's salaries alone account for nearly a third of the total cost. However, "Page Six" also notes that Downey's $100 million may not be exclusively for these two films, potentially encompassing appearances in other projects. The specific titles, whether he will have a supporting role or a cameo, remain unknown at this time.
