While Robert Downey Jr. has been the face of Marvel’s Avengers films, he might also become a regular face among Hollywood’s richest actors. The 49-year-old grabbed the top spot on Forbe’s list of highest paid actors, earning about $75 million, the same amount he made the previous year.

Robert Downey Jr. is tapped to star as a Broadway songwriter in an untitled Warner Bros. musical comedy, according to Deadline.com.

Due Date movie sales performed well at box offices during its first weekend, reaching $33.5 million in the US and $21.5 million internationally.

Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr. team up as a comedy duo in Due Date due for release this Friday, Nov. 5.

Sandra Bullock stepped back into the limelight to accept an award on Spike TV over the weekend. Her time on camera marked her first public appearance since a highly publicized separation from husband Jesse James.
