Gal Gadot is opening up about her payment on the ‘Wonder Woman’ movie and its sequel.
Fans were shocked to hear that Gadot only received 300K for the first film, but initial outrage was quenched after it was announced that Chris Evans, who previously played Steve Rogers, got the same salary for the first ‘Captain America’ movie.
Gadot reportedly earned $10 million for the sequel film, a sum 33-times larger than her initial payday.
“My biggest struggle as a woman has been equal pay as my male co-stars, (all of) whom I love so much. As a woman, that has been the biggest thing. As a human being, I have struggled with many other problems. But the thing that I fought for the most, was equal pay with my male stars,” she told National Geographic.
