David Corenswet could be the titular tremendous man in James Gunn’s 2025 “Superman” film, however in line with a report from Matt Belloni at Puck Information, he is not the very best paid member of the principle forged.
This could possibly be perceived as considerably scandalous, as a result of the report claims that Corenswet, who performs Clark Kent within the film, was paid $750,000 — the identical quantity as his Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” fame) — whereas Nicholas Hoult, who’s been a big-screen staple for a long time at this level, netted the very best wage of the principle forged with a reported $2 million. (Take into accout, Robert Downey Jr. was solely paid $500,000 for the primary “Iron Man,” and Chris Evans acquired $300,000 for the primary “Captain America.”) As Belloni says, although, it is vital to notice that every one three of the “Superman” stars may get some fairly massive bonuses if (properly, extra doubtless, when) their film blows everybody away on the field workplace.
It is also vital to underline the truth that each Corenswet and Brosnahan are tv actors who’re, as Belloni put it, “untested in movie.” Hoult, alternatively, has been part of arthouse favorites, crucial darlings, and big blockbusters since he acquired his begin in “A couple of Boy” in 2002. Sure, Hoult did the required stint on “Skins” (different future stars hailing from Britain like Daniel Kaluuya did the identical), however he is additionally been in films like “Mad Max: Fury Street,” “The Favorite,” “X-Males: First Class” and its sequels, “The Menu,” “Juror No. 2,” and “Nosferatu.”
The paychecks have been considerably greater for the final big-budget standalone Superman film, 2013’s “Man of Metal,” however that one forged marquee names like Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, and Russell Crowe. In any case, it looks as if 2025’s “Superman” goes to do simply high quality on the field workplace, and evaluations have been fairly overwhelmingly constructive.
