Scarlett Johansson's True Net Worth Might Surprise You

The Marvel standout is making history with the Black Widow movie, with The Hollywood Reporter noting her estimated payday of more than $15 million will put her on par with male leads including Chris Evans (Captain America) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor). "Money is a taboo topic of conversation," she acknowledged. However, Johansson was proud to confirm her well-earned deal. "I will say that, yes, I'm on an equal playing field with my male cohorts," she noted. 

The actress was very hands on with the film too, executive producing as well as being involved with script, director and casting decisions. Having a bigger amount of control on Black Widow has given Johansson a taste for moving behind the camera. She opined, "Before, I was more focused on my acting career. Now, I'd happily take the time to develop something to direct. I've actively looked for a long time and just haven't found the right fit."
