Gal Gadot’s paycheck for Wonder Woman wasn’t as low, comparatively-speaking, as a previous report had indicated.
If so, it would be a much-deserved milestone for the breakout star.
Following the release of Wonder Woman earlier this month, Warner Bros. has finally succeeded in making a DC Extended Universe film that is both financially and critically successful, following three DCEU installments that were commercial hits but critically divisive, at best.
For those very reasons, many fans were shocked by last night’s report that Gadot had only been paid $300,000 to star in Wonder Woman – something that seemed all the stranger, given that the same report stated that Henry Cavill had been paid $14 million to play Clark Kent/Superman in 2013’s DCEU entry, Man of Steel.
