Well the initial rumor was that everyone might be let go, but honestly I think that article was a calculated leak to help their agents get traction with contract renegotiations. Apparently they did renegotiate and it turned out well, because there was a later article about Scarlett being one of the highest-paid female action stars, and it says she's making $20 million for Ultron, which is wayyyyyyy higher than what was listed in the original Deadline article. (Do you think I'm nuts yet? This is what happens when you let a scientist into fandom... :p )
It happened, like, right after I got into the fandom in February. And for a few weeks the tumblr tags were insufferable with people freaking out, which made me really mad having that happen right when I'd found a new fandom happy place LOL
here, I dug it back up: http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/robert-downey-jr-avengers-marvel-negotiations-fight/ (I don't really think it was ever as bad as Deadline would have you believe. They've always been panic-mongerers.)
And then there's this from a couple months ago: http://celebs.likes.com/the-21-highest-superhero-salaries (Scarlett is #7 on this list)
