The Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast’s payday pecking order isn’t what you’d expect, and the biggest winner may not be who you think.

Start at the top: insiders peg Tom Holland ’s base for Spider- Man: Brand New Day in the $15–20 million range, before any box-office bonuses. Right behind him, Zendaya ’s return as MJ is estimated at about $8 million. From there, the movie ’s pay ladder steps down across more than 90 cast members, with rates that scale by role size and screen time. Exact deals are under NDA; the figures below reflect industry estimates drawing on SAG-AFTRA scale, past pay tiers and the film ’s budget math.

Released July 31, 2026, the film has cleared more than $2.02 billion worldwide, making it Sony’s top-grossing release ever.

What the stars reportedly made

  • Tom Holland — Peter Parker/Spider-Man: estimated $15–20 million base, plus backend
  • Zendaya — MJ: about $8 million
  • Mark Ruffalo — Bruce Banner/Hulk: estimated $8–12 million

  • Jacob Batalon — Ned Leeds: estimated $1–2 million

The mid-tier and cameos

Below the headliners sits a group of key players and one-off turns that give the movie its texture. Their deals are typically negotiated on weekly or daily contracts tied to prominence and days worked.

  • Tramell Tillman — William “Bill” Metzger: estimated $500,000–$1 million
  • Liza Colón-Zayas — Detective Jean DeWolff: estimated $500,000–$1 million
  • Michael Mando — Mac Gargan/Scorpion: estimated $2–3 million
  • Marvin Jones III — Tombstone: estimated $2–3 million
  • Keith David — Spider Video Narrator (voice): estimated $100,000–$250,000
  • Naomi Watts — E.V. (voice cameo): A‑list voice fees typically land between $10,000 and $50,000

Day players and background

Dozens of working actors fill out the film’s New York — a mix of day players, stunt pros and featured extras who generally earn union-scale rates. Smaller speaking turns, including Olivia Booth-Ford, Taryn Marie Butler, Johnny Myers and stunt performer Billy Clements, are estimated at the higher end of day-player pay, commonly cited in the $1,100–$3,000 range depending on days and bumps.

Ambient faces onscreen — like Camila López, Michael Magnet, Daisy Sequerra and Elvis Carlos — are estimated to have worked at scale day payments between $1,100 and $8,000 across their time on set. For performers billed as The Inhabited along with uncredited ambient roles, total payroll is estimated at $150,000–$400,000.

  • Ian Chance — Manhattan Businessman: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day
  • Nigel Finnissy — Manhattan Businessman: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day
  • Simon Christo — Pedestrian: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day
  • Zarra Kaahn — DODC Agent: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day
  • Cristina Lopez-Mas — Tour Bus Tourist: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day
  • Aadam Mohammed — Food Vendor: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day
  • Oluwafemi Jonathan Taiwo — NYPD Officer Washington: standard background daily scale, estimated $200–$1,100/day

Taken together, the talent spend stretches from roughly $1 million up to $20 million for top-billed players, down to daily scale for atmospheric roles — the kind of payroll spread that helps power a mega-budget superhero hit of this size.
