Black Widow Movie To Land HUGE Payday For Scarlett Johansson

Congratulations, Scarlett Johansson, it only took you a handful of films, but you’re finally able to say your MCU salary is on par with most of your Avengers brethren. More specifically, you’re finally reportedly set to make as much as Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth did playing Captain America and Thor in this year’s Avengers: Infinity War (as a side note, how in the hell did Evans land that salary, given how little screen time he actually had?).

According to a new report from THR, Johansson will be taking home a cool $15 million for her upcoming work on the standalone Black Widow film. Not only is this the same amount the two Chrises nabbed for Avengers: Infinity War (and the upcoming Avengers 4), but it’s also the same salary they commanded in Captain America: Civil War and Thor: Ragnarok, respectively.

In short, Johansson has finally earned her way to a big dog salary in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Robert Downey Jr. still dwarfing everyone else’s paycheck. For comparison to relatively new Avengers, Chadwick Boseman was reportedly paid $2 million for Black Panther and Brie Larson $5 million for Captain Marvel — though it’s worth noting that Marvel has been notoriously stingy on acting contracts in the past for first-time supers. Also, random quick piece of trivia: all these actors added around $100 million to Avengers: Infinity War‘s budget — good thing that movie cracked $2 billion at the box office, right?

But before you start taking all these numbers to the bank, it’s worth noting that a Marvel spokesperson denied Johansson’s reported salary, saying, “Marvel Studios disputes the accuracy of these numbers, and as a matter of policy, we never publicly disclose salaries or deal terms.”

So yeah, believe what you want, I guess? Regardless, this is the closest thing we have to go on, and THR had multiple sources confirm the figure, and if Marvel is adamant that they’d never actually reveal their paychecks, it’s not like you could expect them to confirm these numbers.

Do you guy this $15 million figure and if so, do you think it’s a good one for Johansson and the eventual Black Widow film? Let us know down below!
