WhenForbesranked this year’s highest-paid actresses, Scarlett Johansson was conspicuously missing from the list—which was topped by Kristen Stewart and included the usual A-listers such as Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Sandra Bullock. But the Tony-winning actress could find herself perched atop a future pay-haul ranking if the New York Post is correct in reporting that Johansson was offered $20 million to reprise her role as the Black Widow in the Avengerssequel. The potential payday would place Johansson ahead of Hollywood’s other well-compensated action actress, Angelina Jolie, who reportedly earned $19 million to co-star with Johnny Depp in The Tourist.

For her work in The Avengers, the superhero-ensemble blockbuster that has grossed $1.45 billion worldwide since its opening this spring, Johansson was reportedly paid between $4 million and $6 million plus bonuses. Compared with Johansson’s reported per-film pay hike, Hollywood’s reigning highest-paid actress, Kristen Stewart, earns a paltry $12.5 million per Twilight picture.
