DANAI GURIRA: $4M
Danai Gurira is now an actress as well as playwright who has gone from chasing zombies in The Walking Dead to becoming a Black Panther superhero. Following the global success of the latter film, she has emerged as a leading figure for African-Americans in the entertainment industry. Danai wants to tell the narrative of a powerful African woman who grew up in a difficult environment. She can now use her recent successes to help inspire her ambitions worldwide, after winning a whopping $800K for her role as Okoye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Panther.
MICHAEL B. JORDAN: $8M
Michael B. Jordan, the actor, had quite a personal fortune of $6 million before appearing in the film Black Panther as one of the main characters (the villain). Jordan is expected to have $8 million in 2019. This means he received an impressive $2 million for his role as the antagonist in the Marvel blockbuster, despite being compensated less than half as much as Chadwick. In addition, it was recorded that Michael and the latter had a major disagreement over the differences. Nonetheless, we’re overjoyed to see him shine as the bad guy for a change.
