Harrison Ford Made How Much Money to do Star Wars?
Getting Harrison Ford back for Star Wars: The Force Awakens took a couple Brink’s trucks worth of cash — far more than his co-stars. Well … yeah. He’s Han Solo. He can imagine a lot of money.
While Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill were paid in the low seven figures, and franchise newcomers Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver were paid in six figures, Ford made somewhere between $10 million and $25 million, the latter figure reported by The Daily Mail. Variety reports he was paid somewhere between $10 million and $20 million.
He probably even made more than BB-8.
Ford is easily the biggest name among the cast, and spent considerably more time on screen than Fisher and Hamill.
Cinema Blend reports some of the actors will also receive back end money once the box office take passes $1 billion.
Why didn’t I buy Disney stock five years ago?
Mark Hamill has also said he had money riding on whether certain things leaked, according to Cinema Blend.
