The gender pay gap in Hollywood refuses to die, with actresses including Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson all speaking out about earning less than their male co-stars.

Now, a report on The Daily Dot claims that Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot is being paid a fraction of what her male DCEU co-stars are earning.

Gadot is believed to have earned $300,000 for her starring role in Patty Jenkins's recent movie. For comparison, Henry Cavill – whose highest-profile role pre-Superman was in The Tudors – is said (by Forbes) to have earned $14 million for Man of Steel.

We know what you're thinking: that's loads and loads and loads of money - but think relatively.

The figure seems to come from a 2014 report about Gadot's three-picture deal with Warner Bros, where the then-unknown actress was said to be receiving $300,000 for each movie.

Needless to say, Twitter is angry about the news:

In fairness, Chris Evans earned the same wage as Gadot for Captain America: The First Avenger. Hopefully the actress can negotiate a better deal come the inevitable sequel.

Wonder Woman is currently in cinemas, and recently passed the $500 million milestone.
