Avengers: Age Of Ultron - How Much Did The Actors Earn?
Which Avenger picked up the bill at the wrap party?
Five years have passed since Disney paid a staggering $4 billion for the somewhat fledgling Marvel Studios, a bold move that wound up paying off in a major way; thanks to Ant-Man's huge popularity in China, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has now generated over $9 billion at the worldwide box office, and with another thirteen feature length movies in the pipeline, that figure should double at the very least.

The second Avengers movie, Age Of Ultron, didn't bow out far behind the first in terms of box office success, meaning the Avengers films alone have generated a third of Marvel's entire MCU takings. But were the actors that made the first film such a success rewarded with better contracts the second time around? The process of getting the Avengers back together has made a lot of people rich, its just made some of them richer than others. From the lowest paid to the biggest earner, this is how much Marvel's flagship team pocketed for Avengers: Age Of Ultron...
