Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives with one of the most stacked ensembles the franchise has assembled, and the paychecks feel just as dramatic. Nine years since an unknown actor first pulled on the suit, this cast now tells a story of distance traveled. Every name in the cast carries a different price tag, and the gap between them might catch many off guard.

As one actor's salary has grown far beyond anything imagined at the start of this franchise, his climb to the top makes for a fitting place to begin.

Tom Holland's reported fee for reprising Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man, sits between fifteen and twenty million dollars, making him the highest-paid actor on the entire Spider-Man: Brand New Day call sheet. Backend participation of 5% to 8% of the first dollar gross is reportedly built into the deal as well. That kind of arrangement could push his total earnings well past the base number if the film crosses the billion-dollar mark worldwide. His climb from a virtual unknown to franchise anchor has been steady, moving from five hundred thousand for Spider-Man: Homecoming to ten million for Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Away from the suit, Holland has built a brand around approachable charm, dance-trained physicality, and partnerships with labels like Prada and Vuori. His net worth now sits close to twenty-five million dollars, driven almost entirely by MCU paychecks rather than outside ventures. Real estate and early production credits add a layer of stability to a portfolio still dominated by web slinging.

While Tom Holland claims the top spot on the sheet, another returning star has seen her paycheck shrink rather than grow this time around.

Zendaya

Zendaya's reported fee for reprising MJ lands between five and eight million dollars, notably lower than her Spider-Man: Brand New Day co-star, despite her rising star power elsewhere. Reports suggest her screen time has been trimmed to accommodate scheduling clashes with Euphoria Season 3 and Dune Part Three. Even with a smaller role, the number still outpaces plenty of her earlier MCU paydays.

Fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Valentino have turned Zendaya into one of the most bankable faces outside the box office entirely. Her net worth has climbed to an estimated forty million dollars, fueled by Euphoria episode fees, Dune, and a growing stack of endorsement deals. Producing credits are quietly expanding her empire well beyond acting.

As Zendaya balances a packed schedule, one MCU veteran has walked onto set commanding a fee that rivals some leading actors.

Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo's estimated eight to twelve million dollar fee reflects the kind of premium Marvel has long paid its most established crossover stars. The number places Hulk firmly in the same pay bracket once occupied by Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson during their own guest appearances. A payday that large for a supporting role hints at a bigger narrative purpose for Bruce Banner this time.

Ruffalo has long balanced blockbuster paychecks with prestige projects that earned him Oscar recognition, including his work on Spotlight. His net worth sits around thirty-five million dollars, built from a mix of MCU residuals, television work like I Know This Much Is True, and property investments. Consistency, rather than a single franchise, has defined his financial climb.

While Ruffalo brings Avengers-level star power to a street-level story, another Marvel veteran has finally made the jump from television into the MCU proper.

Jon Bernthal

Jon Bernthal's reported four to six million dollar payday marks a significant step up from his Netflix era Punisher salary of roughly three hundred fifty thousand dollars per episode. Bringing Frank Castle into the MCU through a Spider-Man film appears to be a deliberate move rather than a brief cameo appearance. His devoted following from the Daredevil and Punisher series likely factored heavily into that number.

Known for gritty, intense roles across projects like The Walking Dead and The Bear, Bernthal has carved out a lane few actors occupy as comfortably. His net worth sits around twelve million dollars, built through steady television and film work rather than franchise dominance. A rising profile suggests his asking price will only climb from here.

As Bernthal brings his signature edge to the ensemble, a newcomer to the franchise has landed a role that could reshape the entire story.

Sadie Sink

Sadie Sink's estimated two to four million dollar fee reflects a significant new addition to the cast rather than a passing cameo appearance. Her Stranger Things paycheck had already climbed into the high six figures per episode before this deal, and her MCU entry marks a clear jump in scale. Speculation around her character has run wild, though Marvel has kept every detail firmly under wraps.

With theater roots and a Tony nomination on Broadway, Sink has built a reputation for range well beyond her breakout Netflix role. Her net worth sits around four million dollars, boosted by Stranger Things and a growing list of fashion partnerships, including Prada. This Marvel entry alone could reshape her earning power for years to come.

While Sink's exact role remains a mystery, the rest of the supporting cast rounds out a paysheet built almost entirely on returning fan favorites.

The supporting cast

Jacob Batalon, reprising Ned Leeds, reportedly earns one to two million dollars, while Michael Mando returns as Scorpion for two to three million. Marvin Jones III joins as Tombstone, alongside Liza Colón-Zayas and Tramell Tillman, with fees ranging from five hundred thousand to three million dollars each. As leaks and fresh details continue trickling out ahead of the July 31 release, waiting for this film to finally arrive feels harder by the day.
