According to sources of The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson will receive a salary of 15 million dollars for her work in ‘Black Widow’, the next title film of the Black Widow.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ marked the sixth appearance of Johansson as Natasha Romanoff and, finally, the actress has reached the salary figures of her co-stars. With this contractual renewal, the actress will begin to charge the same figures as Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth, who received $ 15 million for his latest appearance in ‘Infinity War’.

Equal pay? It was time

While it is true that, with this pay rise, Johansson will start to handle the same numbers as the rest of Marvel’s men, it is impossible not to remember and go back to a previous time, when the salary equality in the cast was little more than an illusion.

Robert Downey Jr. took home a total of $ 50 million for his work as Tony Stark in ‘The Avengers’. While Johansson charged less than 10 for giving life to the Black Widow in the Joss Whedon film.

It seems that progress is coming to Hollywood, albeit at a terribly slow pace. This is a step towards a fairer industry, which in recent years is experiencing a clear evolution in a more positive direction. But it is important to remember that the arrival of salary equality to the Marvel Cinematic Universe should not be news, but a struggle won a long time ago
