How much money 5 Marvel superhero actors got paid, including a $5 million salary for Brie Larson in 'Captain Marvel'

Yeah, Marvel got RDJ cheap in 2008 (following box-office milestones for the first "Iron Man," Downey's end pay was $2.5 million). An Oscar-nominated actor and arguably one of the best of his era, Downey Jr. was still repairing his career following a tough stint with substance abuse at the time he was cast in the movie that would launch the MCU. And he has been rewarded since, earning $50 million for the first "Avengers" movie, $80 million for "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and $10 million for the handful of scenes in "Spider-Man: Homecoming."

Evans got more than his fellow Chris on his first outing because he had better name recognition when he agreed to play Steve Rogers. In fact, he had already played a superhero. He was Johnny Storm in the early 2000s version of the "Fantastic Four" franchise. And since "Captain America: Civil War," like Hemsworth, he's been scoring $15 million checks.

By Disney standards, starting out at $2 million isn't bad. And being part of one of the biggest Marvel hits of all time meant Boseman got a nice bonus. He'll definitely be looking at bigger pay days playing T'Challa going forward.

It sure was a long time coming. After seven movies (counting "Endgame") in the MCU, Johansson's character finally gets a standalone movie, which is currently in early stages. And because of that Disney is going to give her a worthy contract. She earned a low seven-figure check starring in the first "Avengers" movie.

Moral of the story: the longer you stay in the MCU, the more you'll eventually make.
