Dwayne Johnson Earning More as Black Adam Than Will Smith Did as Deadshot?
Follow Us
Will Smith’s performance in James Gunn’s Suicide Squad was phenomenal. He received a lot of appreciation for his portrayal as Deadshot. Smith not only received applause from the audience, but he also received a total of $20 million.
However, it appears that Dwayne Johnson will out-earn Smith with his forthcoming DCEU film, Black Adam.

Although Johnson’s earnings as an actor in Black Adam have not been disclosed. It is well known that Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Production is producing Black Adam, which implies he is also the film’s producer.
Consequently, aside from his salary, he will also take home a share of the film’s profit at the box office. This implies that his earnings for Black Adam would be absurdly high in comparison to Will Smith’s $20 million earnings as Deadshot in Suicide Squad.
In addition, Dwayne Johnson made $23.5 million for his most recent film, Red Notice. It’s highly possible that his salary for Black Adam will be similar or perhaps greater. Hence, in comparison to what Dwayne Johnson would make in Black Adam, Smith earned less in Suicide Squad.
Will Smith’s performance in the Suicide Squad was widely acclaimed. He was also expected to be a part of Suicide Squad 2. However, scheduling issues forced him to exit the series. If Smith had remained with DCEU, then we could have witnessed The Great One and Smith squabble about who gets paid the most from DCEU.

Will Smith, on the other hand, made $40 million from his Oscar-winning film, King Richard. Smith clearly out-earns Dwayne Johnson if one film salary is compared. Had Will Smith done one more film, his profits would have been substantially greater than Johnson’s.
