Gal Gadot got paid $10 million to star in ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ — 33 times more than what she made on the 1st movie

• Many fans and those in the entertainment industry were shocked that Gal Gadot only earned $300,000 for the first “Wonder Woman” movie.
• Now, it’s been revealed that the actress reportedly took in $10 million to be in the sequel, “Wonder Woman 1984.”
• The news of the pay increase was confirmed in a Vanity Fair profile on Gadot for its November issue.

Gal Gadot is finally getting paid what a global movie star is worth. (Well, sort of.)

Though Gadot was the face of one of the most successful DC Comics movies Warner Bros. has released to date, with 2017’s “Wonder Woman” taking in over $821 million at the worldwide box office, she was only paid $300,000 to portray the superhero — a figure that was a shock to many when it was revealed in 2017.

Historically, stars are paid on the low side when doing their first superhero movie, but Gadot’s was definitely on the ground floor. Many stars in the Avengers movies over at Marvel normally received between $2 million to $6 million after bonuses.

But Gadot may have a bigger smile these days because as a November profile on the actress for Vanity Fair confirms, she is taking in a lot more for “Wonder Woman 1984” — 33 times more.

“The success of the first ‘Wonder Woman’ film — for which Gadot was paid only $300,000, a figure that caused outrage in some circles as it paled in comparison to what many male action stars take home — helped catapult her onto the list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood,” Nancy Jo Sales wrote in her profile. “For ‘Wonder Woman 1984,’ she reportedly earned $10 million.”

$10 million, first reported by Variety, is a solid paycheck for an actor. Still, when you line it up next to stars such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio, it puts the price tag into perspective.
