Unfortunately this is hard to gauge. Chadwick is the lead in a movie that has grossed around $1.3 billion and that's overtaken (or will) Titanic. With that said, RDJ is the reason the entire MCU is successful. His cameos and appearances have raked in hundreds of millions more for films. Look at TWS. it should've done over a billion but only grossed $700 million worldwide. Add in RDJ and it grossed almost $500 million more. RDJ is a cash cow. No matter how much he's getting paid, it's arguable not enough when you look at his worth and value to the MCU.
Report is that Chadwick makes a million less than Chris Evans.
And making as much as Evans is underpaid? With just one solo film (yes a very successful one) and a feature in another? Ya gotta admit that what really drove BPs success and popularity was its cultural impact and that is not to take ANYTHING away from it....but from a studio perspective will this character continue to have the same impact in sequel films? Continue to gather the same popularity amongst merchandise that say Iron Man has?
