Since its birth in 2008 with the Iron Man movie so far, the MCU has become the most popular movie franchise of all time. Through 22 films released over the course of 11 years, they have grossed more than 18.7 billion dollars worldwide, not counting the revenue of the latest episode, Avengers: Endgame . The Avengers: Infinity War episode alone has grossed more than 2 billion dollars worldwide, ranking 4th on the list of the highest grossing movies of all time.
With their super earning power, how much will Marvel pay their actors? At the moment, we don’t know the exact number of actors received for their roles in Endgame , but let’s see what they received in previous films to see how much profit Marvel has received. The return is terrible.
11. Tom Holland (Spider-Man)
Spider-Man: Homecoming: $500,000 (over 11.6 billion VND)
Avengers: Infinity War: 3 million dollars (more than 69.6 billion dong)
The MCU’s youngest lead actor is also the lowest paid. Tom Holland was only paid $500,000 for the lead role in Spider-Man: Homecoming . But because this movie grossed $880 million worldwide, Tom will receive an additional bonus and commission as well as an additional basis for salary increases for later episodes.
Many sources claim that this guy was raised to $ 3 million for his appearance in Infinity War . Surely he will get a bigger number for the Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel . As for his salary in Endgame , it is not clear how much.
10. Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther)
Black Panther: 2 million dollars (46.4 billion dong)
Although Black Panther grossed over $1 billion, lead actor Chadwick Boseman was paid only $2 million, as Marvel never overpays actors to debut in their own films. His salary in Infinity War is probably a bit higher than that, and in Endgame it is not clear how much because his character has died.
9. Chris Pratt (Star-Lord)
Guardians of the Galaxy: 1.5 million dollars (more than 34.8 billion dong)
Avengers: Infinity War: 5 million dollars (more than 116 billion dong)
Chris Pratt ‘s salary in Guardians of the Galaxy was only $1.5 million for the same reason as Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman , but in Infinity War , he got a raise to $5 million because his character had a role. bigger. It’s unclear how much they’ll pay him in Endgame .
8. Brie Larson (Captain Marvel)
Captain Marvel: 5 million dollars (more than 116 billion dong)
Captain Marvel grossed over $1 billion worldwide, and unlike other actors, Brie Larson ‘s debut role in this movie brought her $5 million because she’s an Oscar-winning actress. It is not clear what her salary in Endgame will be, but considering the importance of the role, it will probably be much larger than the $5 million figure, especially when this movie promises to make a profit. of at least $2 billion globally.
7. Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange)
Doctor Strange: 6.4 million dollars (more than 148 billion dong)
Doctor Strange 2: $9.6 million (over 222 billion)
Benedict Cumberbatch was already a big actor before joining the MCU, so his debut role in Doctor Strange earned him $6.4 million. In season 2 of Doctor Strange , his salary will increase to $9.6 million.
With Infinity War , the character Doctor Strange also plays an important role, and Benedict is just behind Scarlett Johansson ($15 million) in salary, so the number he received for this movie is probably equal or slightly higher. compared to the number he got for Doctor Strange 2 . In Endgame , it is not clear how much he received.
6. Chris Hemsworth (Thor)
Thor: 150,000 dollars (more than 3.4 billion dong)
Avengers: Infinity War: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Avengers: Endgame: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
When he first debuted in the movie Thor , Chris Hemsworth was just an unknown actor, so he only received $150,000, which is less than Tom Holland ‘s salary . Of course, that’s just a small number compared to the number he received for Thor: Ragnarok , Infinity War and even Endgame : $ 15 million.
5. Chris Evans (Captain America)
Captain America: The First Avenger: 1 million dollars (more than 23.2 billion dong)
Avengers: Infinity War: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Avengers: Endgame: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Chris Evans is said to receive up to 1 million dollars for the episode about the origin of Captain America , although there are other reports that this debut episode only brought him 300,000 USD (over 6.9 billion VND). His salary in Civil War and Infinity War increased 15 times, or 15 million dollars per episode. With Endgame , he is believed to receive the same salary.
4. Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow)
The Avengers: 1 million dollars (more than 23.2 billion dong)
Avengers: Endgame: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Black Widow: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Scarlett Johansson ‘s salary in The Avengers was supposed to be around $1 million, but in Age of Ultron , she got a raise to be on par with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth . There’s a good chance she got the same $15 million they did for Infinity War and Endgame .
This also makes perfect sense since Scarlett will also get $15 million for her own movie Black Widow , about the same amount Chris has been paid for their own films in recent years, Civil War and Civil War. Thor: Ragnarok .
3. Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye)
The Avengers: 2 – 3 million dollars (46 – 69 billion dong)
Avengers: Endgame: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
The first film that Jeremy Renner had a lead role in was The Avengers , and he received about $2-3 million, equal to his co-stars Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth . Although he did not appear in Infinity War , it is likely that the number he received for Endgame was on par with them.
2. Mark Ruffalo (Hulk)
The Avengers: 2 – 3 million dollars (46 – 69 billion dong)
Avengers: Infinity War: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Avengers: Endgame: 15 million dollars (more than 348 billion dong)
Replacing Edward Norton as Hulk and making his first appearance in The Avengers , Mark Ruffalo also gets exactly what his co-stars above get for each movie.
1. Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man)
Iron Man: $500,000 (over 11.6 billion VND)
Avengers: Infinity War: 50 – 200 million dollars (1,160 – 4,642 billion dong)
Avengers: Endgame: 50 – 200 million dollars (1,160 – 4,642 billion dong)
When he first took on the role of Iron Man , Marvel only paid Robert Downey Jr. $500,000, exactly the same as Tom Holland ‘s salary , because his notoriety at the time was seen as bringing many risks to the studio. But thanks to the success of this movie, the MCU has become what it is today, and since The Avengers episode so far, every time Robert has appeared in the main role, he has received 50 million dollars, especially Iron Man. 3 , he was paid 75 million dollars (more than 1,756 billion dong).
Even with only a brief cameo role in Spider-Man: Homecoming , Robert also received 15 million dollars (more than 384 billion), which is 30 times higher than the lead actor Tom Holland , so it is believed that with play an important role in Endgame , the number that Robert will receive will be much greater than 50 million dollars. One newspaper even estimated that he received around $200 million for each episode of Infinity War and Endgame , including commissions and other bonuses.
It can be seen that with his billions of dollars in revenue, the salary for actors is quite meager, except for Robert Downey Jr. , will help Marvel get super huge profits for every movie they release. That will help them have more resources to invest in the next projects, and without doing any more calculations, they will all be successful deals as expected.
