Part 7/10:
Bringing back legendary actors like Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart involves complex contractual negotiations. These actors command exorbitant fees, especially when factoring in added perks and sequel clauses. The behind-the-scenes intricacies — like actors filming scenes without finalized contracts or negotiations over contracts after the success of projects like No Way Home — highlight the financial and logistical hurdles in reviving familiar faces.
Furthermore, reports suggest some actors are demanding more substantial paychecks due to their previous successes. For example, actors like Ryan Reynolds have a reputation for being difficult, which can complicate negotiations. All of these factors contribute to escalating costs for Marvel's evolving cinematic strategy.
