Tom Holland: $20 Million for Spider-Man?

Tom Holland: $20 million for Spider-Man.

$20 million for Tom Holland's latest "Spider-Man" film: that is the most concrete figure Page Six names in its piece on Hollywood's biggest paydays. According to the information, sources informed The Wrap about Holland's contract with Sony and Marvel.

For James McAvoy, the figure is less direct but still concrete: he appeared on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast and surprisingly named which film had earned him the highest residuals.

The interesting point of comparison for you is that the reports bundle different reference categories: a concrete salary figure, a personal podcast insight, and a headline featuring additional names. A complete numerical comparison is, however, missing.

Tom Holland: Is $20 Million the Whole Story?

Page Six writes that sources informed The Wrap about Holland's contract with Sony and Marvel. According to the same report, Holland's salary for the latest Spider-Man film — under his deal with Sony and Marvel — is put at $20 million.

This note on sourcing deserves attention: the figure rests on information from sources that informed The Wrap.

The report names neither a split between upfront payment and additional components, nor a period over which the $20 million would be paid. A classification as gross or net is also missing. Keep these open points in mind when sizing up this big number.

The only reliably solid statement is the narrower one: Holland's salary for the latest Spider-Man film is cited as $20 million. It rests on information from sources that informed The Wrap. Nothing more can be reliably derived from that.

James McAvoy: Residuals, Not Salary

For McAvoy, the emphasis is on residuals, not on a salary cited in the report. Page Six summarizes that McAvoy named on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast which of his films had earned him the biggest residuals.

So the same piece carries two different kinds of figures: a $20 million salary for Tom Holland's latest Spider-Man film and a podcast note on unexpectedly high residuals. You should not derive a joint ranking from them, because the figures have different reference categories and different sourcing.

What Is Actually Substantiated About Margot Robbie and the Other Names

The headline explicitly names Margot Robbie alongside Tom Holland, along with additional names. However, the available sourcing cites neither an amount for Robbie nor a concrete project. For the other names, no concrete figure is given either.

The figures can therefore be distinguished from each other as follows:

• Holland: The salary for the latest Spider-Man film is cited as $20 million. The figure rests on sources that informed The Wrap.
• McAvoy: On the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, he names the film with the biggest residuals.
• Robbie and the other names: They appear in the headline, without the available sourcing naming an amount or a project.

Precisely because the headline promises more than the accompanying details, this separation matters. A name in a "Biggest Paydays" headline is not yet a substantiated figure.

How Hollywood Is Finally Talking Openly About Cash in 2026

Page Six frames the piece with a line that makes the video's point clear:

"Hollywood is coming clean about a four-letter word — cash."

The headline sets the period at 2026 and bundles several reports under a headline that begins with "Biggest Paydays." In the examples shown, a contract or salary figure and a personal podcast answer sit side by side. Such figures are comparable only when the category and source match in each case.

For you, that is the sober core: the figure of $20 million is the clearest reference point. Any comparison with it, however, requires the same category and the same sourcing.

Bottom Line: One Big Number, Several Ways to Read It

Page Six ends with a clear, if narrow, selection: Holland's salary for the latest Spider-Man film is said to be $20 million; McAvoy named on his podcast the film with the biggest residuals; Robbie is among the further names in the headline.

The added value lies not in building a ranking from a headline, but in cleanly separating the evidence. So keep three things apart: Holland's $20 million, McAvoy's residuals, and the stars initially named without further details.

Added value for you

The original Page Six piece bundles the cited Hollywood paydays and the note from McAvoy's podcast. For your own comparison, the key points are the origin of each figure and the question of whether it concerns a salary or residuals.
