    How much do the actors in superhero movies make? They are on what number of replaceable parts for Spiderman and Batman? They pretty much killed off the Star Wars franchise. No way anyone on the streaming Star Trek franchise is getting close to Shatner money on the original Star Trek movies.

    The Superhero actors are getting paid a ton. Robert Downey, Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johanson, etc.

    Ted Lasso is getting paid a lot of money. Whatever show had Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston paid them a lot to have them on the show.

    Star Wars isn’t dead. They fucked up the movies and people didn’t like a couple of them so they took a break. They will be back. It’s happened to Star Wars before.

    You are right that the sheer amount of content on the streaming services and cable does drive down salaries, but big names get paid an absurd amount of money.

    I hate Hollywood and barely ever watch movies, but I’ve seen this type of thinking and it’s simply not reality.
    A while back I read an article that included comments from some great directors regarding Superhero movies and how they were making it very difficult to produce movies that would not bring in huge box office dollars. Comedies were singled out as becoming harder and harder to make. It was pretty interesting but then too it may have been a bunch of older directors lamenting the non-acting Superhero movies dominating Hollywood now.

    I think Downey's run is almost over. I'll see what the new Marvel salaries are that were not pre-covid. Witherspoon and Aniston probably won't sign another big start up contract for a streaming service. Who is replacing them? Gail Godot? We will see if woke ass Disney can make a male oriented Star Wars movie. The Mandalorian supposedly makes $600k an episode. Each season is 8 episodes. Sudeikis makes a million per episode with 12 episodes per season. Not quite the day when the four Friends cast members each made a million a piece for 22 episodes a season.

    Tom Cruz is done. Keanu Reeves is getting $15 million for John Wick 4. We will see how the box office does, post covid. Cruz cleared an inflation adjusted $150 million for Mission Impossible II.
