It's a bit more complicated with RDJ. He negotiated for that amount, has a powerful producer wife. Yes, you could argue he was able to negotiate because of his being known for Iron Man, and thus has more power that way than Evans. However, I wouldn't argue that RDJ at that time was more popular than Evans, though. Scarlett Johanssen and Jeremy Renner, in particular, were also known names.
I feel RDJ is a special case, in this way, as no one anticipated how well received Iron Man was going to be.

I feel like original OP is missing the point. The wage gap is known in every industry (including movies) and the fact that people are finally paying attention can only be a good thing. This goes beyond 'popularity' IMO, to the inequalities women face in that industry in particular ie; there are less roles for women, particularly main characters, therefore making it more likely that a man, as Matt Smith, will become more popular, hence, in OP's opinion 'deserves' the bigger pay cheque.

You're kidding, right? By the time the first Avengers movie came out, RDJ had two successful Iron Man movies under his belt plus the first Sherlock Holmes movie, and he was a much, MUCH better known actor because he's been around since the 80s and was notorious for doing jail time and was nominated for two Academy Awards. On top of that, Iron Man was the backbone of the whole Avengers franchise.


Whereas Evans had only done the first Cap movie, that terrible Fantastic Four movie and a bunch of relatively small roles. RDJ was waaaaay more popular and well known, which is why he was able to get the big fat paycheck.
