That's huge considering Marvel doesn't have the costs of using their own characters that are included in other studios budgets when they make Marvel films. You can add another 5-10% onto that.

Stars Spill Molten Iron Man Secrets
Categories: comiccon, iron man, indiana jones 4
Paramount-Dreamworks had the three most talked about films at Comic-Con this past weekend: Indy Jones 4 director Spielberg and star Shia were assuring fans that they wouldn't f--k this up, and we believed them. Star Trek XI director JJ Abrams tore the house down by announcing that both Leonard Nimoy and Heroes star Zachary Quinto will star as Mr. Spock.
And then there was the surprise unveiling of an exclusive Comic-Con cut of an Iron Man trailer. The crowd went nuts, and I got a chance to speak with all the folks from Iron Man who made it to the Con: Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, director Jon Favreau and Tony Stark/Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr. Here's what I learned about the big-time superhero flick, due next summer:
His Ride Rocks: The Iron Man Audi was parked outside the Omni Hotel and looked fresh to death. The exclusive R8 was sleek and gray, with front and back license plates reading, "Stark 4." Basically, puts my whip to shame.
Gwyneth Misses You: Downey Jr. convinced Gwyneth to do the movie. She was considering the project, and one day while speaking with Jr., he simply said, "Don't you want to do a movie that people will actually see?" A simple sell, especially with the highest opening weekend of her career being Shallow Hal ($22 million), and she hasn't had a film gross $100 million dollars since Shakespeare in Love. All that's about to change now that she's taken on the role of Pepper Potts.
It Might Have a Wu-Tang Flavor: Favreau has had talks with Wu-Tang Clan member and Iron Man fanatic Ghostface Killah. He didn't tell me specifically how Ghostface would be involved, but the hip-hop legend does currently have a track on Favreau's MySpace page. (Ghostface's first solo album was called Ironman.)
Terrence Wears Miles Well: The budget is 160 million bucks. Heard it from Favreau, but I think I also heard it from Howard, but I was too dazed by his sweat-pants-and-cowboy-boots look. He was also rocking a Miles Davis T-shirt and denied any rumors that he would be playing Miles in a biopic.
Jon's a Badass, Too: Sure, Sam Jackson plays one-eyed superspy Nick Fury, but he's not the only tough guy in the cast: Director and schlub-from-Swingers Favreau plays Tony Stark's bodyguard in one scene.
