There was Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), of course, which netted close to $2 billion, and the follow-up, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), which caught the tailwind of the Multiversal exploits of No Way Home, and brought in $900+ million. Well, it seems that Marvel got the message as both Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) are going to “reboot” the MCU, with Robert Downey Jr. making his franchise return as one of the most well-known and celebrated villains in the history of Marvel Comics: Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom. It seems evident that Cruise would require a high fee, thanks to his work in franchises like Mission: Impossible, and, yes, despite Iron Man being heavily featured in Marvel Comics, the character had yet to make the transition to the big live-action screen.
