Who Is The Most Paid: Highest Salaries of MCU Actors

Marvel has become one of the biggest cinematic universes ever made. It is tied together with a slew of superhero movies with expensive actors and actresses that truly delivers incredible results in terms of box office sales. Not only it has accomplished significant financial success, but these have also turned into highly successful franchises. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is part of what turned Chris Pratt and Tom Holland into such huge movie stars. Thanks to its massive commercial success, the MCU’s actors command some of the highest salaries in Hollywood today.

That being said, these are the top three highest-paid actors in the MCU –

Chris Hemsworth

Hemsworth may have been an unknown the first time he played the God of Thunder, but not anymore. Not only has his portrayal earned him a place as one of the most popular MCU characters to date, but he’s also in line for a pretty hefty payday for his role as Thor. We had already heard last year that Hemsworth reportedly signed on for two more Marvel films. One was Avengers 4, which ended up being split into two parts, and now we learn another film will follow on from there with Thor 4: Love and Thunder. The sources confirmed that Hemsworth will be returning to star in the movie and will be paid somewhat $20 Million.

Scarlet Johansson

Natasha Romanoff’s relationship with Tony Stark goes all the way back to Iron Man 2. Unbelievably, it took a decade for Natasha to get her own solo outing. But when her solo movie Black Widow was released on Disney+ instead of in theaters, it stirred up controversy about Scarlett Johansson’s pay disparity as compared to other actors in the MCU. In response to those claims, Disney made it publicly known that she made $20 million for her performance in Black Widow.

Robert Downey Jr.

Not only was Robert Downey Jr. responsible for helping Marvel Studios launch their Cinematic Universe (MCU) with Iron Man in 2008, he has also brought his charismatic performance to every single one of the films in the franchise so far. These roles have helped him amass a net worth of $360 million, but it wasn’t always like this. Some weren’t sure if Downey Jr.’s casting would pay off, but the actor proved everyone wrong, impressing many critics along the way too.
