on one major occasion.

[{"selector":"#anim-f480e5c9-9774-49dd-b022-1805ec6fc534","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-129.96109%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f605929-d38c-4969-bac7-ff0b4c64e925","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

After the success of Iron Man 3 in 2013,

[{"selector":"#anim-c27be108-106f-49b3-800b-99e5f8635ef5","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

And without a contract in place for future Avengers movies

[{"selector":"#anim-ec120ad6-148d-429d-afb1-69b48ba654eb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-90cfa96c-cc00-4be7-bb48-225fe2de0bd8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd43fc54-34d4-4b99-b3ee-c745ceb36deb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Downey staged a renegotiation that partly played out in the public.

[{"selector":"#anim-ed4c1ff5-2f81-4e27-9d58-a70d799827ff","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18b3de51-c41a-4664-9277-d94116e460c9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The actor said in an interview that Marvel was ‘pissed’

[{"selector":"#anim-587d5ee2-75ad-46f3-bce0-5791dc18dc67","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e78bb9ad-bafe-4a0c-826b-301186960b64","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Asked point-blank if reports of him having made an astronomical figure

the Avengers were true, Downey told GQ, “Isn’t that crazy

[{"selector":"#anim-432be92b-1af3-4e66-9406-5a2698273304","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d88d475f-4563-408e-adfe-630783b128e4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

They’re so pissed. I can’t believe it. I’m what’s known as ‘a strategic cost.'”
