Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been known for casting unknown actors in major roles, just like they did with Iman Vellani, who plays Kamala Khan in Ms. Marvel. As a newcomer, many are curious about how much Vellani is earning from her role in the MCU.
Iman Vellani’s Rise In The Marvel Universe
Iman Vellani was a huge fan of comics, and her love for Kamala Khan led her to become Marvel’s first Muslim lead star. Although she is a newcomer, Vellani’s salary is predicted to increase with the upcoming series of installments. Just like other Marvel actors, Vellani has signed a multi-show/movie agreement to help her financially in the long term.
How Much Money Did Iman Vellani Make In Ms. Marvel?
Disney+’s Ms. Marvel is a Marvel series with a considerably bigger size and scope. Vellani is said to have earned between $500,000 and $1,000,000 for her portrayal of Kamala Khan. With the show’s tremendous success, her pay for the second season could be ten times higher. As Vellani appears more in the MCU, her paycheck will likely increase.
Comparing Vellani’s Salary To Other MCU Actors
Forbes reported that actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may earn over $10 million for each film, and Robert Downey Jr. made an estimated $75 million from Avengers: Endgame alone. Vellani may have earned significantly less than some of the more seasoned MCU performers like Chris Evans, who earned $200,000 for 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger but $15,000,000 for 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Scarlett Johansson’s first Marvel Cinematic Universe debut did not pay off as well financially as her subsequent ones. Johansson allegedly made $400,000 from her first Marvel picture, Iron Man 2. After ten years of acting in the role, in 2021’s Black Widow, she received an up-front payment of $20 million.
Iman Vellani’s Salary for ‘The Marvels’
In the upcoming 2023 action movie The Marvels, Vellani will reprise her role as Kamala Khan alongside Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. It is reasonable to presume that Vellani is on a deal comparable to the seven films Larson agreed to in return for $5 million for her 2019 solo outing.
Although there is no official data about Vellani’s wealth, her salary will likely increase as she continues to appear in the MCU. The more Vellani appears in the franchise, the higher her paycheck will likely be.
