I don't think you understand, they are signed for multiple picture deals and are threatening to simply not show up. When I say that he isn't signed onto anything it means more that he doesn't care what is on the contract because they can be settled with other projects for the studios.

Recast them all so HT can milk the license with the new actors.....

Actually, it sounds more like Marvel Studios is the stingy one. Ike Perlmutter in particular has been made out to be a very shrewd dude to the point of even Disney being intimidated by him.

With regards to Hot Toy Iron Man 3 figures.....it sure has been eerily quiet since the US release of the movie. I would have thought they would have shown photos of several new pieces around the time of the movie's release.

Well we have a number of POs from HT for IM3 available already: Mk XLII Diecast, XLII Power Pose, Iron Patriot Diecast, Red Snapper Power Pose, and now War Machine Mk 2 Diecast. Not to mention teasers for Mandarin, Igor, and Heartbreaker. I would not worry about this...HT has a lot of stuff brewing with the IM3 license and with the movie killing at the box office worldwide, you know they are going to milk this beast until it is dry.

if they are signed, and they dont show up surely those are grounds for disney's lawers to sue the **** out of them?
Maybe they're a little turned off by the fact that most of the new suits appear as little more than a blur flashing past your eyes.

Contracts are obligatory, no doubt if they just threaten not to show up and do so, Marvel can sue the actors so w/e. If the actors want to be greedy then recast them, they already make more than most people will in a lifetime.
I don't even know why you are giving these claims time of day, I am 100% confident the reports aren't true and it's just a case of tabloid websites coming forward with bs stories to get hits on their site because this is what is hot right now.
Joss Whedon just came out and flat out denied that the $100 Million he's being paid is complete bull. So will everything else.

For the marvel cinematic universe, i believe that actor replacements who can give solid performances in a solid movie will be acceptable*to people, maybe not at first, but in the long run. Mark Ruffalo is proof of this.
However, a recast with a so-so part in a fair movie will be jarring to people who, when not thoroughly entertained, will be inevitably distracted by the switch. Don Cheadle in IM2 is proof of this. though i like IM2, i can't help sometimes but miss the Rhodey/Tony relationship already established with Terence Howard's face.
With that, I think the mainstream audience should just get used to that same initial 'disorientation' we comic book fans are used to when favorite art teams are changed from time to time. And, as hard as it can be in the movies, to focus on the characters more and disassociate the actors little by little. That's very tough (i think RDJ and Chris Helmsworth is perfect) but if James Bond can do it, Marvel superheroes can to.

I wish the Centurion armor had more silver on it. I still want it to display with Iron Monger.

I also missed the chemistry between RDJ and Terrence that was established in IM. Not saying Cheadle was bad but he was somehow lacking. Similarly, I'd be disappointed if they recasted either Downey or Ruffalo cuz I think they look and get along well together on-screen.

I think Marvel should pay their stars to retain the casting choices they made in the first place and subsequently sold to us for huge box office $$$. Call it entitlement, but I think there's an unwritten contract between the audience and the film makers, especially in franchises, that the characters' actors we're all investing in should be back in the roles for sequels. And in situations like this where Marvel is raking in money, it just seems like they're about to take a big piss on everything if they recast half the Avengers...

Well to be fair, there was a time when a movie was one $20 million dollar actor and then everyone else. It was crazy, inequitable, and unsustainable. Studios can still pay big bucks for a "Name", but thanks to new technologies and a shift in how movies are made, sold, and viewed, they are now finding ways to sell "Big" movies without "Big Names" to save them some money.
That's what will be the failure of future Avenger type films. When you have a bunch of big names involved, they'll want their big name salary. They can't all get 20 million each. The film would end up costing half a billion dollars or more. I always figured James Cameron would be the one crazy enough to make a Billion Dollar movie, but maybe Marvel will beat him to it?
