Tom Holland is reportedly on track to exceed $100 million in earnings for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
Multiple sources allegedly “with knowledge” of the actor’s deal with Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios tell the Wrap that Holland, 30, had a base salary of “at least” $20 million for his starring role up front.
The base sum is said to be $10 million more than he earned to play Peter Parker for 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
Additionally, the “Odyssey” actor scored the possibility of upwards of $100 million in backend bonuses.
But that’s not all. Apparently, Holland’s backend bonus isn’t capped — meaning there’s no limit to what he may ultimately take home when everything’s done and dusted.
“He will make at least” $100 million, a source reportedly told the outlet of Holland’s potential final payday.
Page Six has reached out to representatives for Sony Pictures and Holland for comment.
The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed film debuted in theaters on July 31 and is now in its third week.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” had a gangbusters opening weekend, setting a record $360 million domestic debut out of its $932 million worldwide box office total, Variety reports.
It cleared $1 billion worldwide after just six days on the big screen.
Holland’s fourth solo outing as the web-slinging superhero has officially crossed the $2 billion mark worldwide, becoming the second-fastest film to reach the threshold, per Deadline.
By hitting this milestone, the film joins an elite club of just seven other films to do so.
Past films to achieve the landmark include 1994’s “Titanic,” 2009’s “Avatar,” 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” 2022’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” and 2025’s “Ne Zha 2.”
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is currently chasing the domestic box office crown, which is held by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” It’ll have to also surpass “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Avengers: Endgame” to get there.
The press lead-up to the film’s release saw Zendaya, Holland’s wife and co-star, stunning in black, white and red looks as she zipped around the world doing promotion.
The movie also introduced Sadie Sink into the superhero fold.
In the months leading up to the film, there was much speculation on who the “Stranger Things” alum would be playing. When fans finally got to see the film, her character was finally confirmed.
Comic book fans can now turn their attention to the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday,” set for release Dec. 18.
Page Six Hollywood previously reported that “Iron Man” actor Robert Downey Jr. will earn a $100 million paycheck for both “Doomsday” and next year’s “Avengers: Secret Wars,” in which he plays Victor von Doom — aka Doctor Doom.
