Henry Cavill may no longer be Superman but his last two cameos for DC which marked his exit also burnt a hole in the studio&#039;s pockets.

Henry Cavill Was Paid a Handsome Salary for His Last Two DC Cameos Which Lasted for Mere Seconds

Henry Cavill’s [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] fandom was the
subject of back-to-back shockers fairly recently. First, Cavill had already
marked his exit from The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]after season three. Soon after, news
broke out of James Gunn rebooting the DC Studios with David Corenswet to replace
Cavill as Superman. The British actor who had donned the red cape for nearly
nine years was marked with an unceremonious exit from two of his most iconic
roles.

However, Cavill’s departure did cost the DC studios. Not only did it face fans’
backlash, but also a hefty paycheck to the actor for his last two cameos.


DC STUDIOS PAID ITS SUPERMAN A STAGGERING SUM OF MONEY FOR A FEW SECONDS OF
SCREEN TIME

It is no secret that DC’s latest slate of movies has flopped pretty hard on
their face. The most recent ones – Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, Zachary Levi’s
Shazam: Fury of the Gods, and Ezra Miller’s Flash were all critical and
box-office failures. Out of those three movies, Henry Cavill starred in two of
them. First, the actor marked a nearly ten-second cameo in the post-credits
scene of Black Adam. Followed by a mere two-three second faceless cameo of his
Superman in Flash. As reported by Startefacts
[https://startefacts.com/news/henry-cavill-s-recent-dc-cameos-paid-him-20k-per-second-of-his-screen-time_a132],
Henry Cavill received a whopping $250,000 for both of his appearances.



His cameo with Black Adam breathed hope into the faltering fandom which,
nonetheless, was short-lived. As it is now common knowledge, Henry Cavill was
replaced with what Gunn said to be a “younger actor”. Regardless, in a further
breakdown by the same article, Cavill’s salary turns out to be a staggering
$20,000 for a second of screen time! In stark contrast, his entire salary from
Man of Steel was an upfront $300,000. Meanwhile, his last major DC outing,
Justice League, landed him a $20 million paycheck.

The actor with a $50 million net worth is now in a phase of transition.
Especially as his other major source of income is now gone as well.


AFTER MAKING $11 MILLION FROM TWO SEASONS, HENRY CAVILL IS MOVING AHEAD FROM THE
WITCHER EXIT

Henry Cavill’s salary on The Witcher increased with every season. And rightfully
so when the actor carried the show on his shoulders. In the first season of the
Netflix show, the British actor made about $400,000 per episode. However, by the
end of the second season, his cumulative collection rose to a massive $11.2
million
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-hollywood-news-from-geralt-to-gold-fifty-million-dollars-worth-henry-cavill-made-more-than-whopping-eleven-million-dollars-over-two-seasons-of-the-witcher/].
Furthermore, his collections from the third season are not yet disclosed, which
could further up his haul. Regardless, now that he is no longer the Geralt of
Rivia, Cavill is moving ahead to other projects.

Henry Cavill is to star opposite a star-studded cast involving Samuel L. Jackson
in a spy thriller, Argylle. Additionally, he is set to helm the Warhammer 40,000
series, overseen by his girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/natalie-viscuso/]. The actor is also set to
star in a Highlander reboot as well as making potential inroads into the Marvel
Cinematic Universe.
