Tom Holland stands to make over $100 million for starring in Sony and Marvel\u2019s global hit \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day,\u201d a massive haul that puts him in the rare category of Hollywood\u2019s top-earning actors and already comes on top of a payday from his other 2026 global hit, \u201cThe Odyssey.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to three individuals with knowledge of Holland\u2019s deal, the actor scored a base salary of at least $20 million up front \u2014 an increase of $10 million from his last Spider-Man gig \u2014 with the potential to earn upwards of $100 million when backend bonuses are factored in as \u201cBrand New Day\u201d<\/a> zooms towards a final global box office haul of over $2 billion<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Even more remarkable: Holland\u2019s backend bonus is not capped, so there\u2019s no ceiling to how much he may ultimately make, one individual added. \u201cSpider-Man\u201d crossed $2 billion at the global box office this weekend, and is only in its third week of release.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will make at least\u201d $100 million, said this individual, who declined to say how high that payday might soar. <\/p>\n

A representative for Sony Pictures said the studio does not comment on cast salaries. Representatives for Holland did not respond to TheWrap\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a tremendous payday for the 30-year-old Holland, who earned just $250,000 for his first outing as Spider-Man in 2016\u2019s \u201cCaptain America: Civil War\u201d and subsequently established himself as a fan-favorite Peter Parker through standalone Spidey pics and MCU crossovers.<\/p>\n

The lucrative backend deal is commensurate with Holland\u2019s spectacular track record over the last decade. With seven appearances in total, his MCU version of Peter Parker has lasted longer than any other cinematic incarnation of the character and, in doing so, left a legacy that is not just unique among Spider-Men but among Marvel\u2019s stable of beloved performers as well.\u00a0Notably, his appeal has endured even as enthusiasm for superhero films has taken a sharp downturn.<\/p>\n

Holland earned $500,000 to star in 2017\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming,\u201d Sony\u2019s proper reboot of the franchise. For 2019\u2019s sequel \u201cSpider-Man: Far From Home,\u201d Holland earned $4 million and for 2021\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d Holland banked $10 million.<\/p>\n

But bringing Holland back for \u201cBrand New Day,\u201d<\/a> which was a new deal after his previous Spider-Man contract expired with \u201cNo Way Home,\u201d required a significant pay raise.<\/p>\n

Holland\u2019s WME agents Andrew Dunlap, James Farrell and Liam Buckley and lawyer Robert Offer negotiated the deal.<\/p>\n

Sony and Marvel\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d exploded<\/a> to a $932 million global box office opening weekend, broke the record for the biggest domestic opening of all time<\/a> with $360 million and blasted past $1 billion worldwide in mere days. Its total now stands at over $2 billion worldwide and counting.<\/p>\n

The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, earned the best reviews for a Marvel movie in years, and Holland has spoken at length about wanting to push the franchise into more mature, personal territory with this fourth film. The evolution paid off \u2014 literally.<\/p>\n

When he first landed the Spider-Man role, Holland\u2019s original contract with Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios was a six-picture deal, which included three standalone \u201cSpider-Man\u201d movies produced and distributed by Sony and several appearances in Disney-released Marvel Studios movies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrand New Day\u201d is not the first time Holland has participated in backend bonuses. In fact, in recounting how he mistakenly received a check meant for Tom Holland for \u201cAvengers: Infinity War,\u201d actor Tom Hollander revealed<\/a> on \u201cLate Night With Seth Meyers\u201d in 2024 just how big those Marvel bonuses can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an astonishing amount of money. It was not his salary. It was his first box office bonus. Not the whole of it, the first one. And it was more money than I\u2019ve ever \u2014 it was a seven-figure sum,\u201d Hollander said.<\/p>\n

The new Marvel lynchpin<\/p>\n

Holland\u2019s pay raise makes him one of Marvel\u2019s highest-paid actors and is in line with the trajectory that Robert Downey Jr. followed when he starred in the first MCU film \u201cIron Man,\u201d which became a lynchpin for the entire franchise. After earning $500,000 for the first movie, Downey Jr. received a $10 million base salary and a handsome backend deal on \u201cIron Man 3,\u201d which netted him $50 million for the 2013 sequel when all was said and done.<\/p>\n

When Marvel worked out Downey Jr.\u2019s contract that would conclude his character arc in \u201cAvengers: Endgame,\u201d the actor\u2019s reps negotiated a massive deal that included $10 million for less than 10 minutes of screentime in \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming\u201d and a backend structure that netted him over $100 million for \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d and \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of Holland, one top media mogul mused: \u201cHe\u2019s the new Robert Downey Jr.\u201d <\/p>\n

Scarlett Johansson is another MCU vet who followed a similar trajectory. She earned $400,000 for her first appearance as the Black Widow in 2010\u2019s \u201cIron Man 2.\u201d Two years later, in 2012\u2019s \u201cThe Avengers,\u201d she banked between $4-$6 million.<\/p>\n

Following her six appearances in the MCU as Black Widow, the actress got $15 million upfront for 2018\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d and 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d For 2021\u2019s standalone \u201cBlack Widow\u201d movie, Johansson received $20 million upfront for starring and becoming the first Avenger to become an executive producer on a Marvel film. However, she sued Disney for simultaneously releasing the movie in theaters and on Disney+, which affected her backend bonuses, and settled for $40 million.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Chris Hemsworth scored a reported $20 million payday for 2022\u2019s \u201cThor: Love and Thunder.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Holland, Marvel\u2019s Kevin Feige and Sony\u2019s Tom Rothman have all expressed enthusiasm about continuing the actor\u2019s Spider-Man journey beyond \u201cBrand New Day,\u201d it\u2019s unclear whether further films are contracted or if another movie would offer a new opportunity for Holland to renegotiate after his latest record-shattering success.<\/p>\n
