Why not? The two Ocean sequels cost $85 million. Look at that cast.

We obviously don't know who Cap is yet. The current name for Thor is Alexander Skarsgård who isn't going to be too expensive. I would imagine the pay is going to be set int the contracts for both Thor and Cap when the perspective actors sign. Then you have Ed Norton if they can get him. His price isn't that steep, he's not A-list (Look at the gross of his past movies). Downey Jr is the biggest name and his contract might already be written.

Paychecks for actors have gone down (at least on the front end) and some actors actually care about their characters and their longevity (for future work).
