Dwayne Johnson, Robert Downey Jr., and Will Smith surpassed $40 million in salary and received huge paychecks for their next movie, becoming the highest-grossing actors of all time!
The former WWE star turned actor has emerged as one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood over the past decade.
Dwayne Johnson is one of the highest paid celebrities in the world who has not had much fun in Hollywood. His last film failed at the box office and failed to attract the attention of the audience, but his acting was facing a big problem. But even when the days go wrong, great men never back down. According to a new report, his next film will be the highest paid actor in film history.
The former WWE star turned actor has emerged as one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood over the past decade. Miracles can't happen because his DC movies have been one of the biggest disappointments in his career, as he's part of the Billionaires franchise, including The Fast and the Furious and Jumanji Rice Farm.
Additionally, Dwayne Johnson hasn't had a box office hit since 2019's Jumanji: The Next Level. However, all this doesn't seem to affect his height as he is getting paid handsomely for his new film Red One, which wrapped filming earlier this year. According to a new Puck News report on what an actor has received for a role, Johnson earned a total of $50 million for his role in ELF Commander Callum Drift, the highest amount of his career.
Before Dwayne Johnson, there was Robert Downey Jr., who earned $40 million for his role as Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War. It wasn't his solo film, but it was his position and influence in the MCU that earned him the big payday. RDJ won the same award Will Smith won for his role in King Richard.
That being said, The Rock is set to co-star with the MCU's Chris Evans in Amazon Studios' holiday-themed action-comedy Red One. The filming of this movie is over and it will be released later this year.
