Gal Gadot?s paycheck for Wonder Woman wasn?t as low, comparatively-speaking, as a previous report had indicated. many fans were shocked by last night?s report that Gadot had only been paid $300,000 to star in Wonder Woman ? something that seemed all the stranger, given that the same report stated that Henry Cavill had been paid $14 million to play Clark Kent/Superman in 2013?s DCEU entry, Man of Steel.
However, now that many industry insiders have been quick to call those numbers into question, a new article today by Vanity Fair explains that Gadot was actually paid to be in Wonder Woman, at the very least, the same amount as Cavill in Man of Steel. The report states that while, yes, Cavill has made $14 million playing Superman, that number doesn?t just include his initial paycheck for Man of Steel, but also all of his bonuses for box office performance, which likely includes what he made on Batman v Superman as well. Meanwhile, Gadot?s $300,000 is just the base pay for each DC film she?s made up until this point, which means she?s going to end up making a lot more than $300,000 on Wonder Woman once the bonus checks start coming in.
