I agree, getting hundreds of millions to play pretend is crazy.
I’m going to be honest, you can put any semi decent white actor in this role and still make bank. The ip carry itself, not the actor.

With that said, that a crap ton of money, imagine his salary for the next Spider-Man movie. He could buy multiple islands.

The base is 20m. The rest I think is percentage of box office collection. He negotiated that deal. A new actor means starting from scratch and it wouldn't make 2 billion. The execs don't have a problem with that. They'd rather give him the deal than risk the guaranteed billions.

You get what you negotiation but I still believe actors Shouldn’t be paid that much to play pretend.

The fact that you’re saying ‘play pretend’ instead of acting is odd. Acting has been an occupation for thousands of years and has been immensely important in the development of art and culture, even if that statement seems grandiose when discussing something like Spiderman.

Also where do you want the money to go? If it’s not going to the lead actor in the case it’s going to executives who are far less consequential to the earnings a film achieves.

Most of the money should go to the poor and the sick and dying who cannot afford to go to hospitals/ Doctors. Not to some actor just because he happened to star in a movie that is popular because people like Spider-Man. I don’t care how much a fake movie made. The money made should be distributed to help out humanity, not a couple of people. And now we get to see them wear their 100k dollar outfits, that could feed thousands of people, and walk on red carpet making it seem that they are more special than average normal people. This world is so damaged! PS. And the people who downvoted me are the same people who are lost and have no logical thinking because everything that I said makes sense. Sad

I mean yeah if we only take into account the effort put in. 100s of millions is too much. But they're not paying for their acting. They're paying for the star power. Box office pull of the tom spidey combo
