Ever since Florence Pugh made her Hollywood debut in 2014, she has been on a meteoric rise. The actress has been cast in a wide variety of films, making her one of the most prolific actors of this generation. In her relatively short career, she has already been a household name, when she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2021 when she made her debutĀ as Yelena Belova in Scarlett Johansson’sĀ Black Widow.
The film was a hit as it was different from other Marvel projects, featuring a grounded spy action film set during the Cold War period. The actress has secured a safe spot in the superhero franchise as she has already earned more than Tom Holland in just two Marvel projects!
Florence Pugh’s Salary in Two MCU Projects Leaves Everyone Astounded
Florence Pugh took the Marvel Cinematic Universe by storm when she joined to make her debut in the role of Yelena Belova in the 2021 Scarlett Johansson starrer Black Widow.Ā The film was full of action, andĀ it was gripping as it featured Natasha Romanoff’s mysterious past.
Pugh, who portrayed the role ofĀ Belova,Ā was in the limelight from theĀ veryĀ beginning, making everyone a fan of hers with her outstanding performance.
The fans loved her portrayal so much that she was featured in theĀ HawkeyeĀ TVĀ Series,Ā andĀ is setĀ toĀ be featured in her 2nd MCU film project, Thunderbolts*. However,Ā inĀ a recent report fromĀ The Hollywood Reporter,Ā it wasĀ reported how the actress has earned a staggeringĀ “eight-figure payday for two Marvel films.”
Surprisingly, that’s not all, because the publication also stated how she was at “the top of the call sheet” for Thunderbolts*. Reuniting her with herĀ Black Widow co-stars David Harbour in the role of Red Guardian, Olga Kurylenko portraying Taskmaster, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus reprising her role of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
While the figures were not disclosed in the recent feature, earning a lucrative salary of eight figures, that too in just two films, sounds too good to be true. However, this reportĀ justĀ states how Marvel is ready to splash money on their stars if they have done an outstanding job.
Florence Pugh’s Huge Payday Makes Tom Holland’s Salary Look Like Peanuts
In the realm of smash-hit film franchises, the financial success of theĀ AvengersĀ series has been monumental as the films have turned every actor into an icon. Such is the case with Tom HollandĀ as fans have loved his portrayal of Spider-Man in the superhero franchise.
Even though the star’s portrayal has been loved by fans, because his trilogy has done exceptionally well at the box office, there’s a substantial difference in his salary, when compared to the Oppenheimer actress.
As per reports from Just Jared, Tom Holland earned a base salary of $500,000 inĀ Spider-Man: HomecomingĀ and an additional bonus of $1.5 million thanks to the film being a box office hit. In the 2nd film, he potentially earned $4 millionĀ but the number is not confirmed.
For Spider-Man: No Way Home, it has been claimed by Showbiz Galore that theĀ Avengers: EndgameĀ actor earned $5 million. But that’s not all, because Celebrity Networth has reported that the actor received $3 million in the 2019 blockbuster.
The difference is surprising because Holland has been portraying his role for a muchĀ longerĀ period than Pugh. Moreover, he has been loved by fans for his iconic portrayal of the Web-Head, hence, receiving a lower salary sounds quite surprising.Ā
Spider-Man: No Way HomeĀ canĀ be streamedĀ on FuboTV.
ThunderboltsĀ is set to premiere on big screens on 2nd May, 2025.
