Forbes ranking: 47/100 Johansson earns $15 million for the "Avengers" movies, as well as a percentage of box office. While Black Widow died in "Avengers: Endgame," Johansson isn't done with the character yet. She's making $15 million for a solo movie that's currently in the works.

Marvel Studios Forbes ranking: 31/100 As the one that started it all, Downey has the biggest salary in the MCU.
