Do you know that an A-list star can earn hundreds of millions of dollars from a movie role? It sounds crazy, but it’s true. Some movie stars take a profit participation deal instead of a huge salary, which might give them a much larger payday. In another word, they accepted risky profit-participation deals that rewarded them based on the movie’s success.

There is no doubt that the greater the success of the films, the more money these famous actors can earn. As a result, many A-list actors, such as Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, and Johnny Depp, became the highest-paid Hollywood actors of all time and now are living lavishly. So what is the exact figure of how much money these actors make from their famous roles? Or which role is the most expensive in the world?

Well, you do not have to go far to find the answers because below is a list of the highest-paid movie roles of all time. Keep scrolling down and enjoy!

Every year, we see the rise of new celebrities. We are talking about young artists, athletes, movie stars, musicians, etc. Each and every one of them has the potential to change the world for the better.

That said, with each passing year, celebrities are dying as well. While the deaths of celebrities from previous generations are at least predictable, the same cannot be said for those of the more recent generations. A multitude of reasons can help explain why many celebrities pass away at an awfully young age. You may think death by disease is the most common cause of death, but death by external factors such as motor collision, gunshot, and physical trauma… contributed a lot to this list as well. And that is not taking into consideration how many deaths were results of self-inflicted harm.

2022 was one brutal year for celebrities. As of November 10th, the world bade farewell to no less than 170 celebs. This list will give you information on how certain celebrities passed away in the year 2022 alone. All entries on this list will be accompanied by their date of birth and death, along with what caused it.

It’s more and more common to see post-credit sequences released after a blockbuster film to hint to the audience about the next development. These scenes intrigue the viewers to expect more fascinating on-screen events, but they aren’t always followed by a movie.

Let’s check out 7 movies to which we all expect a sequel!

#1 X-Men Origins: Wolverine – Even More Deadpool

Source: 20th Century Fox

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not impressive to the audience, even though Hugh Jackman is, as always, the perfect Wolverine.

The decapitated head of Deadpool appeared in the post-credit scene with the mouth sewn shut. When a hand reached out to get the head, Deadpool suddenly opened his eyes, showing that he was still alive. Nevertheless, with the film’s poor reception, no sequel would be introduced.

#2 Battleship – 2 Battle 2 Ship

Source: Hasbros

Despite the star-stubbed cast of Liam Neeson, Brooklyn Decker, and Rihanna, Battleship was quite disappointing. That was why a sequel shown in the after-credit scene was never made. The scene featured an asteroid hitting the Earth and the conquer of the alien.

#3 Daredevil – Bullseye’s Back Baby!

Source: 20th Century Fox

Do you remember Bullseye (played by Colin Farrell) in Daredevil? Though the movie failed to demonstrate the spirit and style of the comics, the filmmakers intended to make a sequel. The post-credit scene portrayed Bullseye with severe injuries in a hospital bed. Despite his condition, he could kill a fly with a syringe, proving he could be back very soon.

#4 Suicide Squad – Waller Knows Who Batman Is

Suicide Squad is odd and mismatched, which may be the result of the studio’s interference with director David Ayer’s work. Despite that, Warner Bros still came up with a post-credit scene that involved Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) going on a fight with Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck).

Source: Warner Bros.

The scene was filmed in an empty restaurant where the two characters met. Waller wanted Bruce to keep the film’s events and Taskforce X secret, and he agreed as long as she gave him information to help him build his Justice League. However, Waller seemed to know about Bruce’s evenings, so she may use that information to blackmail him in the future.

#5 Justice League (Theatrical Version) – A League Of Our Own
