Bruna Marquezine received R$830,000 in fees for ‘Besouro Azul’, says website

Bruna Marquezine She debuted in Hollywood and the Brazilian soon won the main female role in the film “Blue Beetle”, by DC Comics. The actress, who played Jenny Kord and played a romantic partner with the hero Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña), paid less than R$1 million for the production.

According to the website The Hollywood Reporter, Marquezine would have received US$ 170 thousand in fees, something around R$ 830 thousand. Xolo Maridueña paid US$850,000, equivalent to R$4 million at current prices.

The publication also explains that, despite being the protagonist, Bruna is a newcomer to Hollywood and this justifies a relatively low salary. Actors who are starting their careers usually earn between US$150,000 and US$300,000, which varies between R$720,000 and just over R$1 million.

But, it appears that low salaries were also paid to other names in the cast. Adriana Barraza, who plays Grandma Nana in the film, would have received US$350,000. Elpidia Carrillo, who plays Jaime Reyes’ mother, earned US$200,000. According to the report, Susan Sarandon, a veteran Hollywood actress who plays the film’s villain, received US$150,000.

What may comfort the actress a little more is that her salary may be higher depending on how much the film grosses at the box office. “Blue Beetle” became top 1 at the North American box office, knocking “Barbie” out of the position a week ago. The film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, topped the rankings for four weeks.
