THR: Scarlett Johansson Lands $15 Million Payday for Black Widow Movie
- Thread starter ManaByte

When just one of your house cost that much, you need to keep the $$$ flowing.
Hey, I love my job too. But, if I had a million dollars tomorrow, they could fuck off.
And I mean, people like Daniel Craig who has made it pretty clear he hates making Bond movies is still making Bond movies. And I can't believe people like Pacino and Willis like making the shit they have shoveled out over the last decade or so.
I get that the real answer is that most people adjust their lifestyles to how much money they make. But, it's one of those things you just wonder how when they reach that level. I'm sure I'd figure out how to spend it if given the chance, too.
Considering you weren't even born yet when he became an A-lister...
Awesome, get some Winter Soldier in there, some Falcon and let's have a party.
Fuck yeah 7 movies???
A4
CM1
CM2
CM3
That leaves 3 movies for her to show up in. Cosmic Marvel gonna be wild.

I mean good for here
But everytime I see these movies I say god damn do the paydays need to be that large. You could live off one movie.

They put the money into real estate and distilleries.
Buy Ryan Reynolds' new uhh gin?
It's still an MCU film. I don't think that many people particularly care about Ant-Man, but that just made $600M.
If they keep the budget for BW in the low 100M range, it should be successful. I am not expecting Ragnarok or Homecoming cash though.
Because the IM1 was very risky movie, RDJ was a failed drug crazy actor, and they signed him to a great deal that gave him big rights for the sequels. As it turned out, MCU took off with incredible pace, leaving Disney in a bind. They had to pay him a lot, and after IM3 [his last movie of the original deal, where they insisted he had to be "retired" in the end sequence] he managed to renegotiate a new deal. Since he was hotter than Jesus, and entire MCU revolved around him, he got a great deal again.
He was literally an A-lister before you were born, he has been around for a while. If you're curious, go watch Chaplin, Natural Born Killers, maybe even U.S. Marshalls but the first two are a must. Man, even in the seasons he was at Ally McBeal he was good and his personal life was pretty much at the bottom there.
Whats going to be the hook for this movie? Outside of Hawkeye, Black Widow is clearly the most boring Avenger both power wise and even with her dialog and team dynamic. Are they going to throw the Hulk, Hawkeye, a Captain America, and another Avenger in this movie to draw in the audience? Im being honest, as of now i dont see anything outside of big time cameos that would draw me to a Black Widow movie.
Yeah, I do expect it to do well. Especially if Johansson's still got that starpower.
It's just that I'm looking forward to post-A4 MCU to move past the old guard.
I'm keeping an open mind, though. Cate Shortland is a pretty good director.
Yes but it is apparent that the original cast is retiring.
Except Black Widow, who still hasn't gotten a movie.
Bring back Coulson from the shadows. The tv show is ending. We need more Clark Greg!
Good for her, and good on Marvel / Disney for finally giving her (Black Widow) more attention. It'll be a PG-13 film, but I have faith that Marvel will be able to really dial in the "dark tone" without going with a hard R.
I just hope the casual movie goers don't confuse this with Red Sparrow.

Or Red October. Or White Fang. Or Pink Panther. Or Red Dragon. Or White Squall. Or White Chicks. Or Green Lantern.
I've only seen one of those films, and only I saw it because of Terry Crews.
Is Terry Crews in this? I hope Terry Crews is in this. How do we get Terry Crews into the MCU? HOW?!
But that isn't apparent. It's actually quite likely that Hemsworth stays as he has mentioned that Ragnarok/IW reinvigorated his love for the character, for example.
Except millions of kids and young women who have grown up on the character.
It's good that she is getting the same salary as the guys.
That said, I really don't think her character needs a movie. She's just so boring.
Oh well, maybe the movie will make her interesting, finally.

I just hope there won't be a male sidekick who ends up getting way too large a share of lines and screen time relative to a sidekick role.
Fuck yeah, great for her.
I think this Black Widow movie could turn out better than we expect. Apparently the production designer for this is Maria Djurkovic and she did Red Sparrow and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. So it's a safe bet that the movie will at least look the part. Red Sparrow even felt like it was a test run for a BW movie sometimes.
They always to multi movies contract, that doesn't mean anything really
Well...it means she'll be in a lot of Mavel movies for many years... :lol
I was mainly surprised at the number. Most of these actors have deals that start at 4-6 films. Seven is on the higher end.
He also does a ton of other films, so as long as he's having fun and doesn't mind the diet/exercise for the role, I don't see why I'd quit if I were him.
Um why ?
Are you talking about getting paid that much? She never had her own solo movie.
