It would have been an extra $50M. And only to make $45M-$50M more? That's clearly a loss. Not even RDJ in an MCU movie commands that type of money (though $40M isn't far). Picture this - even Cap America himself only got paid $6.9M for Ultron. ID4 is 20 years too late anyway. The big draw of the first movie was the explosions and special effects.

Not sure how often people have to repeat that he asked for $50m for both sequels and not only this one. $25m per movie, not $50m. 

Still too much.
