Now, there are speculations that Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom might appear in The Fantastic Four: First Steps in the post-credit scene. Marvel is all about its post-credit scenes connecting a movie with other projects. But a report on X claimed that RDJ would allegedly get a humongous amount for that post-credit scene. None of it has been confirmed by Marvel Studios.
Marvel Updates on X claimed that Robert Downey Jr will receive $40 million for appearing in the post-credit scene for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Variety recently reported that he might allegedly be getting more than $80 million for Avengers 5 & 6, but that is not confirmed news. A source reported it. One of the netizens asked for the news source, and the X handle said it was Variety; however, nothing about RDJ appearing in The Fantastic Four: First Steps was mentioned in their report.
