Since its theatrical release, Wonder Woman has continued to pass one box office milestone after another, including lassoing up over $500 million worldwide in its third weekend. However, despite being the DC Extended Universe's most well-received film to date and surpassing numerous expectations, one person who surprisingly might not see as much of the film's riches reflected in her paycheck as she deserves is the star, herself: Gal Gadot.

Back in 2014, when Gadot first signed her three-picture deal with Warner Bros., Variety cited the Israeli entertainment show Good Evening with Gai Pines for confirming that Gadot would earn a mere (by Hollywood standards) $300,000 for each film - Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeWonder Woman and this fall's Justice League, though Gadot will surely earn more than what her contract initially stipulated -- likely much more -- after she receives any applicable bonuses based on Wonder Woman's success.

To be clear, this sort of pay rate isn't entirely unheard of in the superhero blockbuster genre. Much like Gadot, Chris Evans also earned $300,000 for his first major franchise solo outing, Captain America: The First Avenger. On the other hand, Gadot's Justice League co-star Henry Cavill managed to wrangle a cool $14 million for Man of Steel, as reported by Forbes in 2016 -- though that was presumably a total after back-end bonusing, and the accuracy of that number has been disputed.

Both Cavill and Gadot entered the DCEU with arguably the same level of star power, appearing in just a handful of major American motion pictures prior to being cast as Superman and Wonder Woman respectively. In fact, one could argue that Gadot was perhaps an even bigger name than Cavill at the time of her casting, having played the recurring role of Gisele in the wildly successful Fast &Furious franchise since 2009. While it's hard to say exactly why these two actors of similar caliber were given such drastically different paydays for their solo films, one can't help but point to the discrepancy as a symptom of Hollywood's all too real gender pay gap.
