David Corenswet is perhaps the titular tremendous man in James Gunn’s 2025 “Superman” film, however in response to a report from Matt Belloni at Puck Information, he is not the very best paid member of the principle solid.
This might be perceived as considerably scandalous, as a result of the report claims that Corenswet, who performs Clark Kent within the film, was paid $750,000 — the identical quantity as his Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” fame) — whereas Nicholas Hoult, who’s been a big-screen staple for many years at this level, netted the very best wage of the principle solid with a reported $2 million. (Take note, Robert Downey Jr. was solely paid $500,000 for the primary “Iron Man,” and Chris Evans bought $300,000 for the primary “Captain America.”) As Belloni says, although, it is essential to notice that every one three of the “Superman” stars may get some fairly large bonuses if (nicely, extra seemingly, when) their film blows everybody away on the field workplace.
It is also essential to underline the truth that each Corenswet and Brosnahan are tv actors who’re, as Belloni put it, “untested in movie.” Hoult, alternatively, has been part of arthouse favorites, vital darlings, and big blockbusters since he bought his begin in “A couple of Boy” in 2002. Sure, Hoult did the mandatory stint on “Skins” (different future stars hailing from Britain like Daniel Kaluuya did the identical), however he is additionally been in motion pictures like “Mad Max: Fury Highway,” “The Favorite,” “X-Males: First Class” and its sequels, “The Menu,” “Juror No. 2,” and “Nosferatu.”
The paychecks had been considerably greater for the final big-budget standalone Superman film, 2013’s “Man of Metal,” however that one solid marquee names like Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, and Russell Crowe. In any case, it looks like 2025’s “Superman” goes to do simply positive on the field workplace, and evaluations have been fairly overwhelmingly constructive.
