6. Henry Cavill – $873 Million
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No…. it’s Henry Cavill! This handsome and well-loved actor has been bringing in huge box office numbers ever since he took to playing Clark Kent in 2013’s Man of Steel. While his other films have certainly done well, none have brought in quite the numbers that the Superman-related movies have been able to do. This year he returned to his role as Superman alongside Ben Affleck in the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While he didn’t have any other movies released, he got quite the impressive paycheck at $14 million.
With audiences loving Cavill as Superman, the demand for more movies with him playing Clark Kent is high. Fortunately he has signed on for Justice League as Superman, which is set to release in 2017 and is currently in post-production. It’s also rumored that he’s signed on for an additional Superman project, although there are no details that have been released just yet.
