Tom Holland is one of the leading actors in today’s generation and like many actors, he also started very early in the industry and made his debut with The Impossible. He is undoubtedly one of the most popular and fan-favorite actors nowadays, especially after his star as Peter Parker in MCU’s Spider-Man trilogy. He has appeared a total of six times in the MCU movies donning the Spidey suit and has gained high praise and respect within the industry for putting on a perfect role.
Well, apart from his Spider-Man movies, which ran for billions at the box office, Tom Holland has also starred in many famous movies alongside many famed celebrities. But not all movies can reach the billion-dollar mark, just like his action-adventure movie Uncharted, though it was highly entertaining it was moderate at the box office. Unlike his high pay in MCU, Holland was paid a bit poorly despite being the lead actor in Uncharted.
Tom Holland Was Paid Poorly For His Lead Role in Uncharted
Tom Holland is best known for his star as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in the MCU franchise movies and he’s been the favorite of the people so far. His Spider-Man movies have been immensely successful so far and have even crossed the billion-dollar mark multiple times, making him one of the prized actors of the franchise and the industry. Just like many other stars out there, Holland is also making his way up the ladder and is recognized as one of the prominent actors of today’s generation. But for some reason despite his ever-increasing fame and respect in the industry, he was very poorly paid for his lead role in the movie Uncharted.
Uncharted was an action-adventure type movie, and though it is not a direct adaptation of the game, it was somewhat a vague adaptation, comprising of easter eggs, cameos, and references to the game, which made it far more interesting to watch. The movie was enjoyed by everyone as it was packed with adrenaline-rushed action scenes. But for such a splendid movie, Tom Holland was offered a measly $2 million, despite being the movie’s lead actor and Mark Wahlberg made a whopping $30 million for his part in the movie. This has stirred up quite some ruckus on social media but considering Holland’s high-end Marvel deals and his recently gained success, the matter quickly died down.
Tom Holland’s Career Success So Far
Tom Holland has had a very successful career so far and it does not seem to stop any time soon. His Spider-Man role in the MCU has already earned him millions of dollars for his appearance in six of their movies. The movies were absolutely box office majors and have been a massive boost to the leading comic franchise. Spider-Man: Homecoming ran for a massive $880 million, Spider-Man: Far From Home for $1.13 billion, and Spider-Man: No Way Home for $1.92 billion at the box office with a budget of $175 million, $160 million, and $200 million respectively. Uncharted also had a decent run at the box office for $400 million from a budget of $120 million.

The Spider-Man actor also has a large number of awards and nominations under his belt, some of them being the Critics Choice Awards, MTV Movie + TV Awards, GQ Men of the Year Awards, Jupiter Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and many countless others. It hasn’t been long since Holland made his debut and he can already boast his accomplishments which have landed him crucial roles in the industry. With a net worth of around $25 million, the Cherry actor is one of the most successful upcoming actors in the Hollywood industry and also the potential future leader of the Avengers and MCU franchise.
Uncharted is available for streaming on Netflix.
