Maybe Mark is being told he will be in the next movies if he is a good boy so he took the deal? Otherwise, why would he care if money is not in play? or maybe he was offered more money to play nice? Who knows, but yes it is odd that he went from where he was to where he is.

I'm thinking Disney is extremely pissed off at him because there's no doubt his press tour before the movie led to them losing millions of dollars. I showed some of his interviews to my parents, and that convinced them not to pay money to see it, so that's 2 tickets there.

I'm thinking the House of Mouse attorneys have been following him around with a cattle prod forcing him to go around the country praising the movie. But the cat's out of the bag that Mark hated the movie and was simply dumbfounded when he read it. He was pretty openly mocked on set by Johnson, when there's no way in hell JJ did this with Harrison Ford.
