“Transformers One” is set to become one of the highest-grossing animated films of 2024. After being meticulously developed since 2015, it is finally hitting theaters, receiving excellent reviews from both critics and audiences who attended early screenings.

This installment delves into the past, exploring the origins and early relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron, and how their actions forever altered the fate of Cybertron, the Transformers’ home planet.

As is often the case with box-office blockbusters, the movie boasts an all-star voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, and Laurence Fishburne, among others. Here’s a rumored look at what they earned for their roles in the project.

How much did the ‘Transformers One’ cast make?

Looking at the rumored cast salaries for “Transformers One,” it’s clear that there’s a significant disparity among them, though all fall within at least the seven-figure range—a testament to the movie’s high production value. Typically, only one or two stars command such pay, making this an impressive exception.

Leading the pack is Chris Hemsworth, the one that voices Optimus Prime, with reports suggesting he took home a massive $20 million. While this figure is astonishing, it’s not unusual for the “Thor” star, who is rumored to typically command no less than $10 million per role.

Next in line is Scarlett Johansson, who voices Elita-1, a fierce Autobot and Optimus Prime’s counterpart. She has allegedly earned $12 million for her performance. Like Hemsworth, Johansson is no stranger to these kinds of paychecks, especially since both actors have been central figures in the lucrative “Avengers” franchise.

Brian Tyree Henry, who voices the iconic Megatron, is said to have earned $3 million. While this figure may seem surprisingly low compared to Johansson and Hemsworth, it still places Henry among the top earners. Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime and Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion reportedly earned $2 million each for their roles.

Lastly, Keegan-Michael Key is rumored to have taken home $1.5 million for voicing Bumblebee, while Steve Buscemi was reportedly paid $1 million for bringing Starscream to life. While there’s a clear gap between the salaries of the top stars and the rest of the cast, the fact that all actors are earning at least $1 million is quite remarkable and uncommon in the industry.
