Gal Gadot received a mere $300,000 to play the lead role in Wonder Woman 2017; yet, it raked in over $800 million worldwide. Under terms with Warner Bros., Gadot's compensation was similar to those of first-time superhero leads in the DC Universe. Her salary was questioned, however, especially when it came to male leads like Henry Cavill in Man of Steel. Gadot negotiated a higher salary for her next appearances, locking into her place as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars.
