How did Robert Downey Jr. earn $ 10 million in a quarter of an hour?

Variety recently reported that the famous Hollywood actor "outperformed" himself, earning as much as $ 10 million for a relatively small role in the film "Spider-Man: Returning Home." According to journalists, the total screen time of a star in a blockbuster does not exceed 15 minutes. Thus, performing an episodic role, the actor was able to earn much more than his colleagues. And we are talking about artists who were involved in the main roles.

Superhero movies - superhero fees

The first joint project of Marvel and Sony, dedicated to the history of Spider-Man, was presented to the public for about a year ago. The film was received by fans of the heroic comics on a hurray, having collected in hire $ 900 million, besides, that its creators have spent for shooting of a picture of only $ 175 million.

And then we must admit that the appearance in the frame of the legendary Iron Man from the Marvel empire, or rather the actor who played the role of this superhero for 10 years, played an important role in the success of the picture.
