Hottest photos of Scarlett Johansson

Between August 2017 and August 2018, Scarlett earned $40 million between salaries and endorsements. That was enough to make her the #1 highest-paid actress on the planet. The previous year she earned $10 million. Between June 2018 and June 2019, she earned $55 million.

She earned just $400,000 for her role in Iron Man 2. She earned low single-digit millions for the next few Marvel movies. It took six Marvel appearances for her to finally earn $15 million for a standalone Black Widow movie. She earned $15 million for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. In total, Scarlett Johansson likely has earned $60-75 million for her role in the various Marvel movies. She typically earns around $10 million upfront per movie. Her career high for a single movie salary (before backend) is the $17.5 million that she received for 2017’s “Ghost in the Shell”. She easily can earn $10-20 million per year from endorsements alone.

In late July 2021, Scarlett filed a lawsuit against Disney. The lawsuit accused Disney of breaching the terms of the contract Scarlett signed with Marvel Entertainment to star in the movie “Black Widow.” As far back as 2019, Scarlett’s agents were getting concerned that Disney was planning to release the movie on its streaming platform Disney+ as a promotional strategy. This was a problem because Scarlett’s contract called for her to earn $20 million in salary upfront plus a percentage of box office revenue. After the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered movie theaters for months, the movie was eventually released on both Disney+ and theatrically at the same time. Sources have claimed that the simultaneous dual release cost Scarlet an additional $50 million in bonus money.
