You think Will Smith is still a draw?

For this movie? Yes. He's the main actor most people remember from the original.

From Wikipedia: "In October 2011, however, discussions for Will Smith returning were halted, due to Fox's refusal to provide the $50 million salary demanded by Smith for the two sequels."

They should've just payed it. Marvel pays their stars more than that.

People remember 2 things from the first one - the White House blowing up and Bill Pullman's speech.

And no Marvel doesn't pay their stars that much. In fact they are paid very low salaries, bar RDJ. No point in paying Will Smith so much when he's not a draw anymore. In fact he being in would have been the contrary.
