Scarlett Johansson, whose fate we know is seen in Avengers: Endgame, is still bound by a contract. She’ll be back for a standalone film about Black Widow in 2020, for a sum between 15 and 20 million dollars. That almost looks like a bargain, compared to the payslips of the other stars linked to the franchise.

Chris Hemsworth (Thor) signed a contract with Marvel for five films in 2010, which he renegotiated in 2017 for Infinity War and Endgame, for an amount between 15 and 20 million dollars per film. That means he’s likely to participate in the next phase of the MCU. Chris Evans received a similar salary, but it’s unlikely that he’ll be back.

The new phase of the MCU will include series about standalone characters, which will be screened on the new Disney+ streaming service. Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye/Ronin) have all negotiated agreements for six to eight episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The contracts don’t affect future appearances in upcoming feature films in the saga which have already been planned. The next few films will mostly focus on Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), who’ll each be getting a film based on their characters.
The Hollywood Reporter also reminds us that the salaries of the MCU stars have increased significantly over the years. Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) earned at least 75 million dollars for Avengers: Infinity War alone and 5 million dollars per day for Spider-Man Homecoming.
