In mid-2021, it was revealed that Amazon Studios was developing Red Onea Christmas action-comedy movie starring Dwayne Johnson, who according to recent reports will receive a record salary for this film project.
According PuckNews“The Rock” will win a total of $50 million dollars for this upcoming film that he also produces; a figure that is more than double what he has received in his film projects live action immediately preceding.
According to numbers of The Directbetween 2019 and 2022, the former professional wrestler earned $22.5 million for the superhero movie Black Adam; $23.5 million for the action comedy Red alert; $22 million for the fantasy film Jungle Cruise; $23.5 million for the adventurer Jumanji: The Next Leveland $20 million for the box office Fast and Furious: Hobbs & Shaw.
In this way, without trusting the veracity of the original report, Dwayne Johnson will receive -by far- the best salary of his entire career thanks to Red One. But also, the $50 million dollars in the pocket of the fiftieth-year-old actor would set a new record for the most any actor has earned for just one movie in terms of salary; that is, without taking into account the percentage that some obtain from box office earnings.
And another precision: not all the salaries of actors in Hollywood have been made public. Consequently, Johnson would come to head the list of those that we do know; for example, those of Robert Downey Jr. and Will Smith, who would now tie for second place, thanks to the $40 million they received for Captain America: Civil War and King Richardrespectively.
