LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24 – Superhero Black Widow is a woman at the top of her art, as is the actress who plays her – Scarlett Johansson is the best-paid actress in the world for the second year in a row , according to the annual Forbes ranking released yesterday.

Johansson, 34, earned 15.5 million US dollars (65 million rand) more than in 2018, mainly because of the huge worldwide success of Avengers: End of the game– the last chapter of the saga – for which she won 35 million dollars.

The actress will take over the torch of Black Widow in 2020 for an eponymous film.

Although Johansson and his cohorts on the list have all earned more than 20 million US dollars, wage inequality is alive and well in Hollywood. Johansson has won a total of $ 56 million over the last year, but this amount allows her to be ranked eighth in the ranking of the highest paid actors and actresses.

By comparison, Robert Downey Jr., Johansson's Avengers costar, earned about 55 million US dollars for his Iron Man role in End of Game.

According to the Forbes ranking of the highest paid players in the world, released Wednesday, Downey Jr. would rank third with a total of $ 66 million, behind fellow Avenger Chris Hemsworth ($ 76.4 million) and Dwayne Johnson (89, USD 4 million).
