Stick around the Marvel Cinematic Universe long enough and you’ll start to make real money.
Scarlett Johansson, who has appeared in six movies as Black Widow, is finally landing a $15 million payday for an upcoming standalone film centered on the Marvel superheroine, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
