Apparently, Robert Downey Jr. has everything he could ever want, from A to … well, he definitely has the “A” part covered.
The Iron Man star revealed in a BBC Radio One interview that Marvel gave him the 30-foot-tall “A” that appeared on the Stark Tower sign inThe Avengers after he asked for it as a joke.
"On the last Avengers, there’s this scene where there’s this ‘A’ which is probably 30 feet tall, and I’m looking at it, and we’re shooting in England, and I go, ‘I need that in my office in Venice,’ ” Downey said.

"About two weeks ago, a wheeler showed up, I’m like, ‘What the heck is this doing here?’ " he said. "And they go, ‘This is the ‘A’ you asked for.’ And I go, ‘They brought it?’ So now we have a massive Avengers ‘A’ that will be prominently placed."

Robert Downey Jr. in September
Downey was clearly well-compensated for the film, and not just in ridiculously oversized letters of the alphabet. The actor, who is in talks to appear in Captain America 3, has confirmed he earned $50 million for The Avengers.
We hope Ben Affleck isn’t reading this story, given that Warner Bros.wasn’t too keen on him taking home the Batman v. Superman prop of his choosing.
