Especially when it comes to acting, these mystifying beings with their ability to mold themselves into a range of diverse characters end up making the most out of the deal. Not only do they achieve popularity and success, but their hefty paychecks make sure that they can spend their remaining life comfortably.
While this might not be true for every actor or actress out there, for Scarlett Johansson, it is certainly believable. Renowned for her versatile acting and commanding on-screen presence, the actress has become one of Hollywood’s most successful and bankable stars of all time. One of the few actors who has made a mark on cinema outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Johansson has collaborated with several esteemed directors and worked in a range of diverse films, significantly increasing her market value.
One of the highest-paid actresses of all time, fans have long been curious about how much the star will be making by her involvement in her third major film franchise,Jurassic World, after the MCU andTransformers. While there has not been any update, either from the production or the actress, there is one way to find out an average of what she might make fromJurassic World Rebirth: by examining her earnings from previous big-budget movies.
So, without further ado, here is a look at what Scarlett Johansson might be making fromJurassic World Rebirth.
Scarlett Johansson’s potentialJurassic World Rebirthearnings
Scarlett Johanssonis one of the most influential and popular actresses in the world today. Starting her journey in the film industry as a child actress, she has come a long way from when she first started and today is widely hailed as one of the most prolific and successful stars of her time. Over the years, she has appeared in several incredible feature films, which have considerably added to her draw as a major bankable star.
However, her most successful role has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Debuting in 2010’sIron Man 2as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, the actress has appeared in nearly all major Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and is one of the original Avengers. Also, one of the richest Marvel stars with a reported net worth of $165 million (viaSouth China Morning Post), she is also the highest-paid woman in the Marvel Universe (viaForbes).

Reportedly, the actress earned just $400,000 from her first Marvel movie,Iron Man 2. But with the success of the franchise and her character, her salary has grown significantly. ForThe Avengers,she reportedly made around a million dollars, and byAvengers: Age of Ultron, she was making $15-20 million. For the last film,Avengers: Endgame, the actress made over $35 million combined from salary and bonuses (viaScreen Rant). Moreover, she was reportedly paid over $20 million upfront forBlack Widowand generally makes around $20 million for major studio films (viaVariety).
Given her previous salary from big-budget productions like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it would be safe to say that Scarlett Johansson might be making more or less of $15-20 million fromJurassic World Rebirth. The actress might get an even hefty paycheck if she has made a deal sharing profits from the film and if the upcoming film ends up being a massive success.
Scarlett Johansson had to fight tooth and nail for her huge paychecks
Scarlett Johansson’s association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a significant contributor to her financial success. Her time in the franchise not only made her one of the highest-grossing actors of all time but also, occasionally, one of the highest-paid actresses (viaForbes). Apart from the Marvel Universe, the actress has explored a range of characters in various film genres, considerably increasing her worth as an actor and scoring bigger paychecks.
However, getting such paychecks has not been easier for the actress, given the film industry’s culture of paying actresses less than their male counterparts. Instead, she had to fight tooth and nail to get her due, which still might be less than what her male co-stars might be making. Back in 2017, in an interview withMarie Claire, the Marvel star revealed the harsh realities of being a woman in the male-dominated film industry, stating the following:
Just because I’m the top-grossing actress of all time does not mean I’m the highest-paid. I’ve had to fight for everything that I have. It’s such a fickle and political industry…
Scarlett Johansson’s ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ Brought Back an Underrated Scene From Jurassic Park 3
Talking about the blatant sexism present in the film industry even today, Johansson added,
Some people felt I should talk about my personal struggle in order to shed a spotlight on the greater issue. Maybe I’m being presumptuous, but I assumed it was obvious that women in all positions struggle for equality. It’s always an uphill battle and fight. My experience with my close female friends and family is that the struggle is real for everybody. Everyone has been discriminated against or harassed—sexism is real.
Presenting the cruel reality that many female actresses continue to face, even in a world as ‘progressive’ and ‘woke’ as the 21st century, Scarlett Johansson’s journey in Hollywood exemplifies both the triumphs and challenges faced by women in the entertainment industry. While she might be one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, her fight for equitable pay underscores the ongoing issues of gender disparity within the film industry.
Scarlett Johansson was desperate to star inJurassic World Rebirth
Scarlett Johansson has been pretty vocal and candid about her love for theJurassicfranchise. Ever since she was a little kid, the actress was obsessed with the original Steven Spielberg-directed flick. Once, the actress even recalled telling her agents that she would be fine to die within the first five minutes of the film if it meant securing a role in the franchise (viaComicBook.com).

In a new interview withVanity Fair, the actress again opened up about just how much she wanted to be in aJurassicfilm, recalling the time sheslept in a ‘Jurassic Park‘pup tent inher bedroom that she shared with her sister for over a year. Having campaigned for years, she finally landed a meeting with the person who brought the franchise to life in the first place:Steven Spielberg.
I hadn’t really sat with him and talked about work, and we spent hours just catching up and chatting, and then at some point, many hours into it, he was like, ‘Wait, we’re supposed to talk about “Jurassic.” Do I hear you’re a huge superfan?’ I said, ‘It is actually true. I’m confirming. I’m a huge superfan.’
Well, that was her window right there and then to tell him how obsessed she was with the first film. While she did not tell Spielberg about her obsession with the ‘Jurassic Park’tent, she did end up impressing him with her zeal. After the fateful meeting, Johansson finally had her life-long dream come true. Now,she leadsJurassic World Rebirth, starring as a former mercenary Zora Bennet, leading a group of scientists on a deadly mission to retrieve dinosaur blood from an island occupied by even deadlier dinosaurs.
Jurassic World Rebirthwill be in theatres on July 12, 2025.
