Witcher isn't a tv series, and yes, I know small screen is small, now if this one could see from my response where I said, some actors receive more than that sum especially for being the face of the series and having a higher profile to draw big audiences.
I am very sure this one didn't read what I commented before jumping into the talk. Gracias, this one.
The Witcher is a TV series, bro. I don't know what cave you clawed out from.

Nah, ain't wack. Na you no wan understand.

Remember I was the one who first put Scajo on the list. But later removed her since u said Gadot ain't amongst the list.
The metric being SOUGHT AFTER.

After doing some checks Scarjo has just two projects all low budget shït u talking about. While the other actresses in the debate all have at least 4 significant projects upcoming. What's the meaning of sought after or in-demand then.

Please mention the "low budget" Gadot future projects?


Tudors ain't HBO. While it was popular back in the day I haven't watched it, although it's on my watchlist. Okay. I'll take back my words on Cavill. Although I didn't know him till MOS.
As someone already said Scarjo is a bigger star than every actress on that list. Her star power is such that she sells movies on her name alone.

- In 'Death on the Nile', she's a side character. Got killed off mid film.

- 'Irena Sendler' budget is unknown but it's giving off a strong indie vibe.

- Cleopatra has Patty Jenkins directing so it's obvious she got the role because Patty wanted to work with her again.

- 'Heart of Stone' looks like a Netflix production and we all know Netflix rarely spend big on movies

- An untitled miniseries. Miniseries are by design low budget.

The only medium budget projects in the list are Death on the Nile and possibly Cleopatra. the rest are low budgets.

Don Jon had prime Gordon-Levitt and Julianne Moore, as well.
I have absolutely no idea while you'd put Ghost in the Shell. It's a massive flop.
Nanny Diaries was alongside Chris Evans who was coming fresh from the success of the Fantastic Four movies.
We bought a Zoo alongside Matt freaking Damon.
Girl with a Pearl Earring under fücking Colin Firth.

Match Point and JoJo Rabbit are her sole credits here.

But this isn't debatable, Brie's light miles ahead of Gal it isn't funny...
As much as we like her, Gal isn't a good actress....
Wasn't debating their acting prowess. Just pointing out who sucked harder

Rate them...

In the comics, Adrian Chase (Vigilante) has a Healing factor, ergo, the only Metahumans up there are Vigilante and Deathstroke.

It would be:

1. Deathstroke

2. Vigilante

3. Bloodsport

4. Deathshot

LMFAO.... At the bolded.

Bruh, Netflix spends big bucks and even outspends on what big studios would normally drop for movies with big stars.

A Netflix project with a star her size would never go for nothing less than $120mn. So stop clowning.

Irena Sendler might be giving off Indie vibe but the company behind the project Apple TV+ has a reputation of spending big on projects. So I don't expect a "small budget" especially with the star behind it.

Because of your cynicism now u just had to go all the way to spoil a movie for peeps just to prove a point. Petty much?

A miniseries can still have big budget ie WandaVision, Chernobyl, Lovecraft Country. Just depends on who's involved.

I know it's "let shit on Gal Gadot day," and heaven knows I'm not a fan of her, but she's one of the most sought-after actresses right now. Just give it a rest. undecided

Nah, I call bullshít!!

Ghost in a shell is an epic flop. That's the movie I came to know her sef.
Other movies there are of little significance with the people she was in there with and the scope.

The only movie of some credit with selling power to her name is JoJo Rabbit. But that's still debatable. She had Taika Waititi in it which is a massive name in the industry directory wise and acting.
And don't come talking about Black Widow.

Calling her a hot cake is an exaggeration. I googled her future projects and the only big projects I could find are WW sequels. She's an A list but only just. She has neither the talent nor charisma to venture into a more challenging and high profile projects. You can't compare her with the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie and Anya Joy Taylor. These women are the real deal and you won't exaggerate if you call them a hot cake. Googling their future projects will also confirm that they are indeed well sort after.

Cavill was relatively known before auditioning for Superman, whereas Gadot was a nobody before auditioning for WW. DC gave him a leg up but it can be argued that he was always going to breakout as his career path was in an upward trajectory before catching DC's eye.
So you didn't know Gadot from the FF series?

She doesn't have the acting range or chops but she has her exotic elegance and beauty which has made her a huge draw.

Scarjo has been everyone's darling over the years but I am yet to see when she has ever been considered a box office draw.
The fvvk.

She's really good at her craft but putting butt in seats ain't her forte. She's not even close to actresses who have that PULL.

Indeed. When it boils down to it, sex appeal sells movie, and she has plenty to spare.

Alright maybe a slight exaggeration. But I'm yet to see her solely pull off a solo box office effort without much support system: Franchise Film, director, or fellow co-stars.

There's that word Hollywood experts usually call it (I've forgotten), projects that are solely designed to be propelled by the star power.
That she is not (on her own).

Exactly. He chewed up every scene. His quips are hilarious.

Considering that Freddie Stroma wasn't even the first choice, he did an outstanding job portraying Peacemaker's version of Vigilante.

In Don Jon, she was co lead,same way Lawrence was co lead in Bad boys, her name is the second name on the credits....



Every A Lister who's opened before has had flop movies, doesn't change their star prowess... Besides, Ghost in the shell had many problems including the casting if ScarJo itself, it was always going to flop...

Nanny Diaries was a ScarJo movie, the fantastic four movies were critical disappointments, Chris Evans was practically a B-Lister, possibly C in 2007...

We bought a Zoo:- Okay, Damon's name sold a lot of tickets...

Girl with a pearl earring has been remarked as one of the most memorable roles in Scarlett's career... During the lead up to the movie and after it's premier, critics praised her nuanced acting prowess and the film's incredible cinematography.Colin was exceptional too..
ScarJo earned an Oscar nomination for best actress in this movie...

What does you not knowing the movies mentioned have to do with what they stand for....You also said you didn't know Cavill prior to DC...
Taika Waititi being a big name director is debatable, while he's quite popular, I doubt he's in that elite number of directors that can sell projects with just their names..

As for Ghost in the shell being a flop, she opened a movie likewise so many other stars opening movies and sometimes, they flop..
You wanted me to list her projects and I did, go watch them to determine how good or bad they are....

This argument is because you somehow included Robbie and Gal in a conversation with ScarJo, they can be considered when they both earn stars in Hollywood..

I don't think you are grasping what I am trying to say. Cavill is a household name, though far from being an A Lister. Small screen pays less, sure but when it comes to top draws, people whose face brings audiences, they tend to get a higher pay. Check how much Sam L Jackson was paid for to appear in agents of shield, as a cameo appearance and guest.
Now, Netflix isn't a tv series but a streaming platform, for Cavill to sign the contract that makes his face a property of the platform, he should be paid more than that. Cause, he is the big sell or top draw of the series. He isn't an unknown. So my guess is, for such contracts to be signed, there has to be added bonuses and the 8 mil thing is just for shooting the series. Or perhaps we are reading what they want us to read.
I am not denying that tv shows pay less. Of course. But when it comes to having a known movie star in big grossing films appear on a TV show, they get a higher pay cause of what they attract. And Netflix isn't a tv series platform so we don't get off topic.

Modified: If the Witcher franchise was big enough to sell itself, Netflix won't have cast Cavill in the role. There are lots of people who got on it cause of his name.
Sword of truth was a best seller, but how come it didn't do well as a tv show?
Henry Cavill is an A-list Star alright. undecided
There are different kind of A-list artists. Some who are huge box office draws and some who their talent, works and reputation defines them. And there are some, the dying breed who got all specs.

Just like the Demon Slayer TV show, I'll divide it thus: Upper Class A-list & Lower Class A-list. Cavill belongs to the later.

The Witcher is a BIG franchise. You might not know it before u saw Cavill but it is. It's like saying Game of Thrones won't be big enough to sell itself if Cavill didn't join. It will be big nonetheless so far it's done well, over a period of time. That was how GOT built itself even tho literally everyone was an unknown back then.

The Witcher already had a substantial fantasy following with the books. The gaming audience already made it way more popular and successful.
So no. Whether Cavill was in it or not it would still be BIG eventually. His appearance serves as a plus and big promotion but not the sole cause of its success.

Now that I think about it, you could be onto something. Season 2 could offer more insight on his backstory.
