Also, with Pirates, you had Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, etc. While Depp was the obvious main draw, there was some other star power as well.

And the ending of Pirates 3 was purposely written to cut out Bloom and Knightley characters. While they weren't making Depp money Disney still didnt want to pay them.

Aside from RDJ, I'd bet good money Disney execs probably view the rest of the cast of Avengers in the same light. Either replaceable by another actor or they can write the characters out.

Except that Marvel guys will make the decision on that, not Disney. Disney is smart enough to stay out of great decisions makers way.

IMH, The Avengers doesn't need Iron Man after Avengers 2. If you want to kill him off, great Iron Patriot is right there and Tony's presence will always be felt. Cheadle has enough chops to carry scenes. Evans is better than most realize, plus The Avengers has always had a rotating cast and there are Oscar nominated actors across the board there(Ruffalo,Renner,ScarJo,Samuel L). Whatever new characters you bring in can help carry the load as well.

I imagine they didnt want to pay them for more b/c most people simply did not like their characters.
