Gal Gadot paid 33 times more in 'Wonder Woman 1984' than the first film

According to a recent report by Vanity Fair, Gal Gadot was paid only $300,000 for Wonder Woman. The figure caused outrage in some circles as it was way less than what many male stars get paid. However, the tent pole led her to the list of the highest-paid female actor in Hollywood. Now for Wonder Woman 1984, Gadot earned a hefty sum of $10 million. It is 33 times more than what she received more for the first film.

But the amount is still considered less than what other actors and even her co-stars received. Jason Momoa was reportedly made $14 million for his solo Aquaman movie which was released in 2018. Robert Downey Jr. was paid a massive amount of around $74 million just for Avengers: Endgame. Even after the pay differences, Gal Gadot is still considered as one of the biggest stars among her colleagues in the DCEU superhero movies.
