David Corenswet is perhaps the titular tremendous man in James Gunn’s 2025 “Superman” film, however in keeping with a report from Matt Belloni at Puck News, he is not the very best paid member of the primary solid.
This may very well 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 giant-display staple for a long time at this level, netted the very best wage of the primary solid with a reported $2 million. (Take into account, Robert Downey Jr. was solely paid $500,000 for the primary “Iron Man,” and Chris Evans obtained $300,000 for the primary “Captain America.”) As Belloni says, although, it is essential to notice that each one three of the “Superman” stars may get some fairly massive bonuses if (effectively, extra possible, 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, essential darlings, and big blockbusters since he obtained his begin in “A few Boy” in 2002. Sure, Hoult did the required 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 Street,” “The Favorite,” “X-Males: First Class” and its sequels, “The Menu,” “Juror No. 2,” and “Nosferatu.”
The paychecks had been considerably larger for the final massive-funds 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 fantastic on the field workplace, and evaluations have been fairly overwhelmingly optimistic.
