I think he probably needs to change his agent. Hollywood imo is driven by the agents - he's certainly not the one asking for money.
The fact that so many years in, he feels this way wherelse Don Cheadle made bank as war machine and Anthony Mackie is the new Captain America. I read some article a bit back about how wealthy Don Cheadle (40 million USD) is now from his reoccuring role in the MCU... shame that Terrence Howard walked away and had a fit. He would have been wealthy by now. Curiously Anthony Mackie is only worth 8 million USD?
That said, I literally watched him act like a goofy wizard in shazaam2. But that's that movie being a wacky kids superhero movie. But its a very indistinct role and a side character.
I did some googling and his net worth is 12 million USD. More than Anthony Mackie. But I'm guessing Anthony is going to get a massive paybump now that he's Captain America and set to appear in multiple MCU movies.
googling networth sure is interesting:
Don Cheadle 40 Million
Daniel Kaluuya 15 million USD
Djimon Hounsou 12 million USD
Anthony Mackie 8 Million USD
Terrence Howard 5 million USD
Jonathon Majors 2 million USD ?!? (also set to take a massive pay bump, I think MCU + Creed3 overperforming)
