The British actor Tom Holland is expected to \u201cmake at least $100m\u201d for starring in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, according to the Wrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unnamed sources \u201cwith knowledge of Holland\u2019s deal\u201d say he was paid $20m (\u00a315m) upfront, about double what he reportedly received for his previous Spider-Man film No Way Home in 2021. But the extraordinary success of Brand New Day at the global box office means the 30-year-old is expected to earn another $80m or more in backend bonuses.<\/p>\n

In only its third week of release, Brand New Day has become the eighth highest grossing film of all time (unadjusted for inflation), and surpassed $2bn in ticket sales. And of the eight films that have reached this box office milestone, it is second-fastest to have done so. (Avengers: Endgame, released in 2019, was the fastest.)<\/p>\n

Holland\u2019s reported salary represents a vast increase from his previous performances in the role. When he first played Spider-Man, in a relatively brief but significant appearance in Captain America: Civil War (2016), he was reportedly paid $250,000. For the next three Spider-Man films in which he starred, Homecoming (2017), Far from Home (2019), and No Way Home, he was reportedly paid $500,000, $4m and $10m respectively. But his initial contract is thought to have expired after the end of No Way Home, and the hugely increased remuneration is the result of a freshly negotiated new deal.<\/p>\n

Brand New Day\u2019s success comes as audiences\u2019 interest in films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and in superhero films as a whole, had been waning. In 2023, The Marvels grossed only $206m against a reported production budget<\/a> (that is, not including distribution and marketing costs) of $270m. In 2024, Madame Web \u2013 about a character with direct ties to Spider-Man \u2013 made only $100m against an $80m budget<\/a>. And in 2025, Variety reported<\/a> that Marvel had released \u201cthree consecutive commercial duds\u201d: Captain America: Brave New World ($415m, in contrast to the $1.15bn the previous Captain America film earned in 2016); Thunderbolts ($382m, against a $180m production cost) and \u201cThe Fantastic Four: First Steps\u201d ($521m, against a production budget of $200m).<\/p>\n

The box office dominance of Spider Man: Brand New Day comes in a remarkable year for Holland, during which he also appeared as Telemachus in the second most financially successful film of 2026, Christopher Nolan\u2019s acclaimed adaptation of The Odyssey<\/a> ($1.3bn in ticket sales), and married Zendaya<\/a>, his co-star in both films.<\/p>\n
