Scarlett Johansson, who has appeared in six movies as Black Widow, is finally landing a $15 million payday for an upcoming standalone film centered on the Marvel superheroine, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

That salary equals what Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth earned for playing Captain America and Thor, respectively, in this year's Avengers: Infinity War. Evans and Hemsworth also nabbed that same $15 million payday for Captain America: Civil War and Thor: Ragnarok, respectively, as well as the upcoming fourth Avengers film.

Glad to see she's at least earning the same as Hemsworth and Evans for their last solo movies (even though Civil War was hardly a solo film)

Get that money. So when can we expect this to release? Should have a pretty low budget (in comparison to other Marvel films) and not much CGI. So 2020?

Is that a lot? That seems low.
Did you read the second sentence "

awesome that she's finally getting her equal pay, but I have little interest in a stand alone BW film. Is this going to be a prequel?

There are so many other female heroes that I'd rather see on the big screen.. It would especially be great if they were younger so that Pete had a close friend to confide in within the hero community.

Good for her, even though I think that character is pretty boring. I also think Cap's character is kind of boring, though he's had some good movies.

I think RDJ gets a % cut, so it's as much as the others but not the same as the top

Sounds like Captain Marvel will be around a long time.

And Brie Larson, whose Oscar win for 2015's Room figures into her deals, will be paid some $5 million for next year's Captain Marvel movie (Larson landed a generous payday, but in exchange signed a seven-picture deal that locks her into multiple franchises.)

Was probably a safer idea to go for the lump sum rather than a percentage. Could be hit or miss.

But I was told this movie wouldn't get made! That them starting to hire people wasn't enough to say the movie was in production!

Nice. She's one of the initial Avengers and has been present ever since Iron Man 2 ... so it's only fair and absolutely due that she earns as much as the others.

For the longest time they haven't seemed to know what to do with her character so I guess I will be skeptical about how this will turn out for now.

Isn't it common knowledge that ALL those guys are being lowballed, particularly in comparison to RDJ?

Well deserved, she's great.

Seven pictures, holy shit. I'm excited to watch her character evolve.

Too bad Disney fucked the pooch with James Gunn. I would have liked to see a Guardians crossover.

Pathetic it took this long for her to get her own movie, and a respectable payday. Glad it's happening.

Hopefully they can flesh her character out more, because outside of winter soldier black widow has never been interesting

The character has been really boring so far, and she's been pretty bad in the part. She used to be and presumably still is a very good actress, but she seems fixated on playing these monotone badass roles for the past few years. Lucy, Ghost in the Shell, Black Widow...

RDJs deal was ridiculous in the same sense that Lucas deal was with Fox, in both cases neither studio anticipated the success of the films or repercussions of the deals. in the long term Having said that, he is the seed that started this universe, and without him MCU wouldn't be what it is.

Hell yeah, good to hear. Looking forward to this movie.
