While Johansson was popular in Hollywood circles and with moviegoers, she didn’t become an international mega star until the Marvel Cinematic Universe launched in 2008.

Her leading role in the 2014 action film Lucy helped push the film to a surprising $459 million at the worldwide box office. In 2016, she earned a reported $25 million alone. Her salary for Ghost in the Shell is reportedly around $17.5 million.
