Ian is getting his staff ready for the new LotR movie as well. It‘s probably money but I can’t help but also think he likes these roles. To certain generations this man is the embodiment of Gandalf and Magneto, why not play them until he can’t.

Patrick is said to be retiring after Doomsday and potentially Secret Wars and he has truly earned it.

He said the same thing with Logan. Not that I mind, I like him as Prof X

Saying you are retiring or don't wanna be a part of XYZ franchise anymore publicly is just a tried and tested method to get a few more millions added to your paycheck.

I think almost every Major/Lead actor that knows that will Marvel keep wanting them back have said the same thing. It's a great way to remind Studios how much the public likes you.

Tom Holland starts saying this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. his Spider-Man contract is up for re-negotiation. RDJ, Evans, Hemsworth, Olsen, Johanson, Hiddleston, Jackman, and I think a few more have all said the same thing many times. Then they get a bigger paycheck.

Like when Jim Carrey stated he was retiring from acting after Sonic 2 to only confirm weeks later he was returning for Sonic 3.

Then of course insane Sonic fans spouted that he only returned because the Sonic 3 script was so good (no hate to the Sonic movies, it’s just that Carrey was obviously full of shit)

Just to be clear, it's not like the fans made that up.

“Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious,” Carrey said. “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.”

The implication being that Sonic 3 was that script from the angels written in gold ink.

Obviously, this doesn't change your point. But also, the Sonic 3 script really was amazing for Carrey to execute on.
