Tom Holland’s Marvel box office bonus was accidentally sent to Tom Hollander: ‘More money than I’d ever seen’

Sexy Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is definitely a household name — it’s just too bad that his paycheck for his role as the superhero/Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was sent to the wrong household.On Monday’s episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” British actor Tom Hollander, who is known for his star turns in “Pride & Prejudice,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, “The White Lotus” and “The Night Manager,” revealed the humbling moment his agency mistakenly sent him an “Avengers” bonus meant for the 27-year-old currently dating Zendaya. “I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England for 300 pounds a week, you know, but doing great work, Chekhov, and I sat smugly in the audience having just done a BBC show for 30 grand or something which was, you know, going to get me through the next year or so,” Hollander explained.

US government sues Activision Blizzard over ‘Call Of Duty’ and ‘Overwatch’ player salaries
Activision Blizzard regarding its handling of salaries in Call Of Duty and Overwatch professional scenes.In the lawsuit, the US Government stated that Activision Blizzard’s Competitive Balance Tax in its Overwatch and Call Of Duty leagues limited competition and “suppressed esports players’ wages”.The Competitive Balance Tax forced competing teams to adhere to a salary cap implemented by Activision, meaning they were fined if any of their players were paid above a certain amount.In October 2021, Activision Blizzard told Call Of Duty and Overwatch teams that the Competitive Balance Tax would no longer be enforced, following an investigation by the DOJ.“The Competitive Balance Tax substantially lessened competition between teams in the Overwatch and Call Of Duty Leagues for esports players and limited the players’ compensation,” alleged the DOJ, who added that teams who used most of their salary cap on more expensive players drove down wages for everyone else.If successful, the lawsuit would hit Activision with a financial penalty and order the company to avoid reimplementing anything like the Competitive Balance Tax again.“Professional esports players – like all workers – deserve the benefits of competition for their services,” said Jonathan Kanter, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division.
