Eh. It could be fine. Wahlberg might had given up an existing contract or passed a deal on one to fullfil a resort. Not to mention it could had been his agencies fault for wanting to get paid.
Title misleading since everyone else was doing it for free. (Possibly getting paid as little as they did for legal reasons).

Williams has the same agency. It's going to be an issue because of that.
Nobody passed on other work to do the reshoots. They were all available for them.
How about the fact that Wahlberg would've had to re-shoot a lot more scenes? As far as I can recall having seen it a few weeks ago, Williams has only a couple of scenes with Plummer.
This. A bigger star gets to demand a bigger cut. Whether he should have given the circumstances is another question.
Oh, shit. That's TERRIBLE representation, although it's not up to them if Wahlberg holds out, necessarily.
Michelle Williams was the lead Actress... you know Golden Globe nominated for best actress lead actress

Did Wahlberg have to reshoot over 1000x as many scenes as Williams?
Reshoots are serious business for actors because they usually have many contracts lined up one after the other, so having to do reshoots can come in conflicts with other projects and it can get pretty messy for the production, for the actors, for the agents, for everybody involved, theres even insurances for that.
She can only blame her agent or whoever handled her contract for that movie.

and very likely had other shoots on his schedule that had to be pushed/canceled, so it makes plenty of sense.
Lol at implying that Mark Wahlberg is a marquee movie star. He isn't. He's an overpayed hack and Michelle Williams deserves so much more than whatever she got payed.
Yeah having seen the movie Wahlberg had to reshoot several major scenes. Williams only had to do reaction shots. I honestly can't remember if her and Plummer were on screen together at all.
The extreme disparity is still shitty.
I never said it's entirely fair, but given the number of scenes he probably had to re-shoot, and just how overall popular he is and the amount of work he gets, this isn't too surprising.
If I recall correctly, their only scenes together are:
1.) When they first meet Plummer at the start of the movie, when the kids are very young.
2.) During the fallout of the divorce, as she fights for custody in the meeting with the lawyers.
I honestly think that's it.
He did not. It was reported at the time by trades like Variety and THR that both Wahlberg and Williams were free, which is they were able to pull off the reshoots so quickly in the first place.
He was on set for literally a few days. Unless he shot a trilogy's worth of reshoots, there is no way the number of scenes he was involved with amount to being paid that much more.
That doesn t mean anything in terms of notoriety with the public. Marky Mark is the much bigger star between the two of them.
The Farter, arbiter of true Hollywood worth.
Shit looks bad, btw. Like, massively unfair. If everyone else worked for scale to get it done but Wahlberg, sure - he & his agent (who is Williams' agent as well, I believe) made a good deal for Wahlberg.
Still makes him look like a fuckin' turd.
Which he is.
If they both held out for alot of money and they paid him but not her then yeah this is a major problem.
But if he held out and she didn't then I have no issues here.

Sounds more like Wahlberg just had better negotiators on his side, like I could see everyone else saying "yeah, fuck Kevin Spacey, I'll do it for minimal rates just too get him out of this movie I wanna be proud of" but Wahlberg was probably "... I don't work for free, you want my time you pay me I don't really care if this movie releases or if Kevin Spacey is in it."
Moral of the story: don't work for free, save your free work for charity not for big studios, companies, etc.

Has nothing to do with being a leading star actor that has a resume full of Hollywood films where they were the leading star actor.
Making millions more than the actual star of Spider-Man despite not having to do much in the film.
Damn they did her dirty, all kinds of hell should be raised because of this
