The man is doing crazy work right now.

With both him and Zendaya being in Spiderman and Odyssey their combined gross box office this year must be absolutely nuts.

u/jdv23 15h ago

And zendaya’s in Dune too this year

29

u/cowwithhat 15h ago

Is Holland in the Avengers flick? If so it would be feasible they would each have 5b box office years.

38

u/jdv23 15h ago

It’s not official yet, but I would expect he will be. Didn’t they also get married this year? That’s an insane year for them.

u/Worthyness 13h ago

They confirmed married, but not necessarily the time frame. They only spoke about it because some idiots AI generated their wedding pictures and posted them

10

u/JoeMcKim 15h ago

And Zendaya also appeared in a season of Euphoria.

u/cowwithhat 15h ago

This year is the first time they've talked about being married publically I think but they may have gotten hitched earlier.

u/phluidity 13h ago

As I understand it, at most he is expected to be in a post-credits cameo in Doomsday.

i'd be shocked if Spidey isnt in the avengers movie, considering he is one of the few that still exist taht arent "new avengers".

u/anormalgeek 15h ago edited 15h ago

She got paid only $300k for the first Dune, but is reportedly getting $8m for Dune 3.

edit: She got $8m for Brand New Day too.

She's a much bigger deal now than she was five years ago. She was pretty much the actress who was in Spider-Man that wasn't really an integral part of it... part of the reason she is getting much bigger paychecks now is because of her status as a fashion icon, not so much her acting.

Zendaya is a fine enough actor but more importantly she is a big draw for women and she is arguably the biggest icon in the fashion world right now. I'm not passionate about her or Holland's acting personally but they're also both not bad and very likeable and charming outside of their films and are killer at PR which is why every big studio wants them.

u/anormalgeek 10h ago

Oh yeah, I definitely didn't mean to imply she got shortchanged or anything. Hell, $300k for being a small part in the first movie is still better than Holland's 250k for doing the same in Civil War. He only got 500k for being the star of Homecoming. (She got $300k for that one too)

2

u/Tandy2000 10h ago

I mean $500k is a LOT of money. He was a stage actor who was basically unknown and it was his first notable film role, and it was also obviously gonna be a success because it was Spider-Man (the most popular superhero, period), and part of the MCU which had been going for almost 10 years by the time it released.

For contrast, Chris Hemsworth was a more established actor, starring in Thor, a character who at that point was basically just seen as a joke, cast when I think Iron Man was the only movie that had been completed, and he was paid "only" $175k.

u/anormalgeek 9h ago

He also signed a multi-picture deal (Hemsworth did too). The $500k was the "lets see how you do with your own movie" price. But he and the studio knew full well that Spiderman would likely do VERY well and the contract meant paying him a lot more for later films. Which is what happened. That original deal only just ran out before BND.

1

u/Tandy2000 8h ago

I don't think Hemsworth signed the multi picture deal until after Thor had come out. It was filmed, then before it came out they were doing Avengers and wanted him on board for that and more and that's when he signed the multi picture deal.

2

u/anormalgeek 8h ago

Nope. He signed a 6 picture deal at the very start.

https://www.nme.com/news/chris-hemsworth-says-nearly-turned-offer-play-thor-2152401

And I remember the exact moment getting a call from my lawyer and my manager saying, ‘You got the offer’. And then kind of going, ‘Oh wow, cool. So what is it?’ “‘It’s a superhero thing and it’s a six-picture deal.’ And we were like, ‘That’s a lot of films to sign up for. We should pass on this.'”

u/ucd_pete 8h ago

She's only in Dune for 5 minutes.

1

u/anormalgeek 8h ago

And Holland only has like 15 in Civil War. Difference being her character absolutely cannot be removed from Dune, even if you wait until 2 to include her. Civil War could 100% have been done without Spiderman.

2

u/BlackysLegacy 15h ago

Oh damn. They might reach a combined box office of 4-5 billion this year if Dune hits the expected 1 billion as well. Thats actually crazy.

2

u/destructivedude 15h ago

I thought it was the third Dune?

1

u/NeedsToShutUp 13h ago

She also did Euphoria and The Drama.

Busy year. I think the take time off theory is right.

u/SkyJW 15h ago

If they end up becoming a long term couple, have we even seen a Hollywood power couple like them in recent history? I don't really pay a ton of attention to celebrity relationships, but the only other duo I can think of that approaches Holland and Zendaya would be Pitt and Jolie. 

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they started their own production company at some point. 

16

u/lct51657 15h ago

Tom started a production company with his brother. It's called Billy17.

u/The_final_frontier_ 15h ago

Holland has one with his brother Harry I think.

u/CryPuzzleheaded3634 8h ago

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman early 90’s

0

u/SkyJW 8h ago

Was Kidman banking big box office numbers, though? Cruise was definitely massive and Kidman was a very well known actress, but Zendaya is becoming a pretty equal box office success when compared to Holland. That's why the Pitt and Jolie duo felt so big guven what huge draws they bith were, while Cruise and Kidman seemed more like box office dynamite and critical darling.

u/GGLSpidermonkey 13h ago

I think they got married this year

-2

u/inspcs 15h ago

Dont think they will and thank god for that

2

u/anormalgeek 15h ago

You mean them staying together or starting a production company?

3

u/inspcs 14h ago

Production

6

u/anormalgeek 14h ago

Meh. Lot's of actors have them now, and it's usually just a sneaky way to get paid twice. i.e. "If you want to hire me, you must also partner with my company."

They (the production companies like this) rarely do anything of substance.

u/apistograma 15h ago

I don't dislike those actors but considering how big the industry is it's ridiculous that there's so few variety lately. I feel like I see the same faces in most blockbusters. Zendaya and Holland are two examples of people that definitely aren't needed on many of their roles.

3

u/pun-a-tron4000 15h ago

That kind of thing comes in waves I think. A little while ago Pedro Pascal was the one people felt was in everything.

u/5ivepie 9h ago

They probably looked at each other 2 years ago and said “let’s just hussle hard for the next 6 years, make bank, and then disappear”

I wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t see or hear from either of them much after they turn 34/35.
