Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson is likely to retain her spot as top earner for female actresses.
The blonde beauty will pocket illion (R215m) for her role in the standalone Marvel fliek.
Scarlett topped the Forbes list as the highest paid actress for this year, with $40.5m pre-tax earnings in the last year (from 1 June 2017 - 1 June 2018).
The 33-year-old actress has starred as the character in the Marvel superhero movies since 2010, and The Hollywood Reporter has claimed that Scarlett has been handed the same deal that was previously given to Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth for appearing in Captain America: Civil War and Thor: Ragnarok, respectively.
The Hollywood duo are also reported to have earned the same figure for their roles in Avengers: Infinity War.
Scarlett first appeared as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2, which also starred Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The character has since gained significant popularity among fans and Scarlett previously admitted she hopes the Black Widow film will be “groundbreaking”.
She explained: “I think there’s room for it.
“The only way to do it would be if it were something that we’ve never seen before that was really groundbreaking and incredibly bad-ass. I think if anyone could make that happen my boss Kevin Feige could. He’s a visionary.”
The New York-born actress explained that because of her character’s traumatic past, there’s plenty of scope to develop a compelling storyline.
“The character has a tortured past, she’s had to make a lot of difficult decisions. She has a lot of trauma. She’s got issues. There’s room to work them all out.”
The other top earners are Angelina Jolie ($28m), Jennifer Aniston ($19.5m), Jennifer Lawrence ($18m), Reese Witherspoon ($16.5m), Mila Kunis ($16 m), Cate Blanchett ($12.5m), Melissa McCarthy ($12m), and Gal Gadot ($10m).
