You Won’t Believe What Gal Gadot Earned for ‘Wonder Woman’

What’s the difference between Superman and Wonder Woman? Their paychecks.

“Wonder Woman” may have slain the box office, but Cosmopolitan.com wrote that actress Gal Gadot reportedly earned a mere $300,000 for the iconic superhero role.

Henry Cavill, who starred as “Superman” in the 2013 movie “Man of Steel,” earned a whopping $14 million.

“Wonder Woman” pulled in an estimated $57.2 million in North American theaters during its opening weekend alone, beating out Tom Cruise’s “The Mummy,” which only earned $32.2 million in ticket sales.

Variety previously reported Gadot signed a contract in 2014 that gave her $300,000 for each DC film she does, and she’s likely to make a lot more from bonuses.

While “Man of Steel” ultimately grossed about $290 million domestically, “Wonder Woman,” which is still in theaters, is up to $274 million, and was made from a lower production budget.

According to another report from Vanity Fair, the pay discrepancy between Gadot and Cavill may not be as big as reports from Cosmopolitan and other outlets suggest. It is believed – based on talks with studio insiders – that Cavill’s payment of $14 million was for multiple films and included bonuses based off of box office, something that is likely still to be determined for Gadot.
