WONDER WOMAN Star Gal Gadot Was Paid A Surprisingly Paltry Amount For Her First Three DC Films

Wonder Woman has been a box office hit but Gal Gadot's pay for the Amazon Warrior's first solo movie was surprisingly low. In fact, she didn't get that much more for her other DC appearances!

As of right now, Wonder Woman has made over $573 million at the worldwide box office, an impressive amount which officially makes the movie a hit. However, the controversy surrounding Hollywood's gender pay gap is unlikely to be helped by the news that star Gal Gadot received only $300,000 for starring in the DC Comics adaptation. However, there's more to the story than that alone.

She was also paid $300,000 for her appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, so the actress clearly decided to take some sort of package deal for these three appearances.

Had she done them film by film, chances are Gadot could have secured a better deal as time went on. Then again, the fact the production schedules of all three overlapped may have complicated that!

Interestingly, it's said that Henry Cavill was paid $14 million for Man of Steel and he wasn't any more famous than Gadot at the time he was cast as Superman. Then again, Chris Evans received only $300,000 for Captain America: The First Avenger and many of The Avengers' stars got just $200,000 for that superhero ensemble compared to Robert Downey Jr.'s $50 million. What do you guys think?

Gotta work that clause in there for more pay with a higher box office, girl.

@Fashionbomb - The new main page format makes the entire site look like those Spam Ad sections at the bottom of clickbait websites that make you scroll through 10 pages to read the Top 15 Things People Don't Want You To Know That Broke The Internet. Then again, I did click a Josh article to write this.... so maybe that's what you were going for.

Off topic, but... Hi! This is my first post. I've been ghosting around the site since 2011 and finally decided to make an account. I'm looking forward to all the funny moments (and all the headache inducing arguments as well) and whatever else comes my way on here. I'm happy to finally be a part of the CBM community, for all the good, bad, and in-between moments to come. Now on topic: I really, really was surprised by just how much I enjoyed this movie. I was expecting it to be at least decent, but it far exceeded my expectations. Not a flawless masterpiece or anything in my opinion, but I really, really liked it.

@kRAVENklaw - This was my comment when I joined the website....
"Hey everyone!
I just joined this website today but I'm not new here. I've been using this
website for like 3 years but never signed up for some reason. I know a lot of
users here (not personally) so I'm not a newbie, just have a new account. I also
know the rules here and the recent article from Nate about the banning system. So you
don't need to bother telling me about it.
The thing I love here the most are the gifs and memes. They've made me laugh a
lot and I've been saving some of them since I started using this website.
Anyways, I hope I make some friends here and have a great time using this
website. Peace!

PS: That was corny..."

@kRAVENklaw - Since everyone is coming out...I also have been a longtime lurker! I loved WW far more than I thought I would - kinda sucks that the other DCEU films were less than stellar. There seems to be an odd ratio at play in the genre and it's source material: - love the Marvel movies but their most of their comics currently suck hard. DCEU ain't very good but Rebirth has been pretty #@%&* solid. WTF is up with that?
