Marvel: How much money does the cast of Avengers movies earn? The report has new figures

Given the resounding success of Marvel's movie theaters, you expect their actors to be well paid. These figures are not in the public domain, but the question of how much they earn was raised in the light of the overwhelming success of Avengers: End of the game. The film did more than $ 1.7 billion worldwide in about a week, and it's already the sixth biggest movie of all time. By clearly focusing on Endgame on the original Avengers distribution, a new report revealed how much money Disney / Marvel pays to the biggest stars of the cast.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, actor Robert Downey Jr. has earned $ 75 million starting with the biggest salary, in 2018, in Avengers: Infinity War in 2018, according to the Hollywood Reporter. This is the result of a unique agreement that he spent with Marvel boss, Kevin Feige, who gives the actor a "backend" on Avengers movies. A backend deal means that an actor gets a percentage of gross revenue.

Infinity War has been a huge commercial success, earning $ 2.048 billion at the box office; it was the fourth biggest film of all time in the United States and in the world. Downey Jr. reported that US $ 75 million from this movie is probably related to this huge performance.

The THR report also states that Downey Jr. received $ 5 million a day for three days to film his roles in Spider-Man: Homecoming of 2017. The story does not have details about the salary of Downey Jr. for Avengers: Endgame. But if he concluded a similar similar contract, Downey Jr. could afford to earn even more money with the film. He has already broken box office records in the US and around the world and is ready for continued success.

As for other major Marvel players, THR's story indicates that Scarlett Johansson will be paid approximately $ 20 million for the 2020 Black Widow freestyle film, which she will produce and produce. Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, has signed a five-year contract in the range of $ 15 to $ 20 million, while Captain America's actor, Chris Evans, has also signed a five-film deal for a salary equivalent, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Actors can also earn more money through performance-related bonuses – although they are becoming increasingly difficult to win, it seems. THR indicates that Marvel had originally paid out actor bonuses to a movie when a movie had cleared $ 500 million in gross receipts worldwide, before rising to $ 700 million. Today, Marvel would usually not pay an actor bonus until a movie, especially an Avengers movie, reaches $ 1.5 billion. Infinity War has achieved this goal and Endgame should.
