Marvel Studios managed to turn the flaming garbage heap that was Civil War into something good, I'm confident that they can use the ramifications of the Sokovia Accords and turn them into something decent.

J Jonah Jameson!
Same.
Loved it, Dark Reign was the best Status Quo in Marvel Comics in the last 10 years.
I think he just does it on a per-film-basis. And yes, he's gonna have a Scrooge McDuck styles warehouse to store his money in.

I expect he will get killed off after Infinity War, as he's far too expensive and I think RDJ will want to be moving on after more than a decade in the role.
I think that the performance of Civil War and this Spider-Man will decide if RDJ will show up in phase 4. Like IM3 did almost 1.3 billion. If Civil War outperforms TWS by a lot and Spider-Man does as well I think Marvel will be happy to give RDJ 50m to show up in a lesser characters film (not saying that Spider-Man is a lesser character) but they can make RDJ the Nick Fury of Phase 4.
I really think that a significant chunk of the more casual viewers like to watch RDJ play Tony Stark.
I dunno, RDJ seems to be having a ton of fun playing Tony Stark. I mean, there's not much else on his plate, I think he'll happily just catch a few million for a few days work on a yearly basis, then do a major movie every 4 years for a tons of money.

Yeah, fair points. I guess the prospect of another few $50 mil paydays might be tough to turn down.
Whatever happens, I hope Chris Evans is on board for a while still. Having watched both Cap films recently (in preparation for Civil War) I really think he's the heart and soul of the MCU.

He doesn't have much else on his plate because he spends almost all of his time on Marvel. But he and his wife do have a production company they're trying to build up, and have a bunch of projects in the works there that are just waiting on his schedule to free up.
This would be the MCU's greatest twist.
That isn't the exact rumor. The rumor is that Keaton was asking for more than they were happy to offer, so they moved on for the moment and confirmed RDJ first because they felt that was more essential. Keaton's role still isn't cast, so it remains open.
He's not exactly working around the clock. Looking at his line-up, he's got spare-time, and right now, the only things unreleased on his plate are Spider-Man and Sherlock Holmes 3.
No. There is no reason only because Iron Man is it it they use the Iron Spidey suit.
Shooting one Marvel movie is pretty exhausting, then you have to add a global press tour on top of that. That's basically a whole year right there. I mean, once we wraps press for Civil War, he's going to move into Spider-Man this summer and then Infinity War toward the end of the year. And maybe squeeze in Sherlock 3 somewhere in between all that?
He and his wife are developing a bunch of scripts for their production company, but he would need an off year from Marvel to actually make one of them into a movie. His last two non-Marvel movies (The Judge and Sherlock 2) had to be done in years where he wasn't doing something as Iron Man.

I would imagine the overwhelming majority of the entire audience likes to watch RDJ play Tony. Personally, I would love a movie about Tony and Peter just doing engineering shit for 2 hours, with no fights or villains.
I wonder how they are gonna handle Peter's struggle with poverty if they have Stark endorsing or mentoring him... Maybe Tony will play a different role, or maybe Spider-man won't have to worry about money for once (even though that's an important part of his character)

Open the movie with the assassination of Tony Stark.
Nah that won't happen. I think Kevin Feige said in one of the interviews that the previous spider-man movies didn't manage showing how Peter struggles to juggle everything (School, Money, Spider-Man, Life itself) especially during his high school days and that would be a big part in his solo movies.
No, but I'd prefer if Marvel would delay these announcements until the upcoming movie (which is 1-2 weeks away) is released.

RDJ has had such a fantastic rebound since his personal issues in the 90's early 2000's. I also wonder how much the executives are thanking their lucky stars they listened to Favreau as I remembering hearing he really had to push to get them to accept RDJ as Iron-Man back in the first movie. He seems to have really become a money printing machine and I can't wait to see Civil War and this new Spider-Man.
I don't know any spoilers about the actual movie, but I feel like Iron Man 'winning' Civil War is the most obvious and organic outcome. For one, it's what happened in the comics. But more importantly, it's also the outcome that actually disrupts/changes the status quo. If Cap's side wins, and the registration law is shot down and everyone just goes back to normal, then nothing changes; post-CW is the same as pre-CW. If Tony wins, then status quo going into the next few movies is demonstrably different.

They'll be pushing so hard they'll probably have half of Iron Man's total screentime in the trailers.

To the people concerned about Peter's financial situation, from someone who has seen Civil War:
Don't worry.
Don't worry.

In my eyes RDJ was the first thing Sony stuck on the potential contract. It's an absolute no brainer if they were looking for MCU characters.

The trailers indicate that the status quo is fairly safe either way. There is no mass registration at stake here, just oversight for the Avengers, so they would probably be free to hand wave what they like.
I can vouch for this (I've also seen Civil War).

Russos already said Pete was going to be dirt poor. Besides, like someone said, Peter was bros with Harry Osborn and that barely helped.
I'll flip this argument around and say that it's not about who "wins" Civil War because there can only be one outcome to this scenario. Once the registration law is out of the box, it's out of the box. It doesn't matter how the actual personal conflicts go down. In terms of fights or personal objectives, Iron Man could win, Captain America could win, either could die, but it -doesn't matter- because that won't put the genie back in the bottle. The government is not going to go "Congrats Steve, you beat Tony, now we're going to withdraw the law!" because that's not how it works. If Iron Man is struck down, it just proves that they were right to be concerned about the danger. If Captain America is struck down, it would be one less obstacle to make others fall in line. Civil War is a concept where no matter how it "ends", the right side loses. They lost the moment Civil War started.

I am expecting Galactus.
Boo this man
itwasTuesday
He wasn't alone.
He just eats beets and asparagus the night before.
Oh please Spider-Man could stomp half his rogue gallery if he wanted. Dudes a beast when pissed off.
He's like Batman where his power-set embarrasingly outstrips his rogues.
I'm getting alot of dissonance with this character. He can flip buildings and is super smart, yet he's an underdog??
He has big guilt-issues, no wonder he rarely gets to his full potential

This feels really forced. Like Sony Pictures going "okay we accept the deal but we get the big shots for Spidey solo flicks!!!11!11" forced. I know that a good Spidey flick can shoot past the 1 billion mark, no need to add RDJ to the cast. The movie budget is probably out of 20-40 million dollars now.
I would've rather had Keaton as the Vulture than another "tonight on the RDJ show!". Don't get me wrong, I love RDJ (and I love seeing him as Stark) but I want the Spidey flick to be about Spidey and not Avengers 0.5.
Hope it's just a short cameo. Otherwise it takes away the magic of Spidey teaming up with other heroes when he's never on his own.

Marvel sure loves this angle, including Sentry, Iceman and Molecule Man.
Arent thes not the typical cases from went crazy from to much power?

That issue with Batman mostly comes from the Burton movies focusing on Joker and Penguin and then Nolan going for a pseudo-realistic approach where Batman got access to sci-fi tech, but his opponents generally didn't.
Once you look at Batman's overall rogue gallery, there are many villains with actual super powers, unlike Batman himself, like Poison Ivy, Mr.Freeze, Killer Croc or Clayface. And then you've got Anti-Batmen, like Bane and now Owlman and the Talon/Court of Owls.
rumor is that Tony gives spidey web pits!

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
If he could glide with them like a squirrel suit, that would be really cool.
Are they going to be AXE branded?
