A new report from The Guardian indicates that the original authors of Marvel comics take only $ 5,000 for the use of their stories in the movies of Marvel Cinematic Universe. This universe, which is approaching the premiere of his twenty-fifth film with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has many productions above 1,000 million dollars in world collection; however, the original ideas have a trade-off that seems symbolic.

The true price of “based on the comic of”: $ 5,000 at Marvel
According to the British media, Marvel Studios pays writers and artists that fixed fee, which is not variable, according to three sources linked to the company. Additionally, the North American giant sends creators an invitation to the premiere of the films in which they have worked; a movie ticket to see the result days before its release to the public. Marvel has declined to comment on this journalistic report.
Marvel Studios: more than 23,000 million dollars of gross at the box office
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most lucrative in the history of entertainment. Since 2008 until now, there is consensus between specialized critics and the public: it is a success capable of giving meaning to a whole set of stories and characters. Not surprisingly, these are not original stories, but based on characters previously created in Marvel itself in its literary aspect, specifically that of the cartoon comic.
In the absence of knowing if making public this treatment to authors and artists can have a positive impact on their remuneration, the truth is that the news has not sat well with the community, which considers the payment of $ 5,000 insufficient for the use of capable stories amassing hundreds of millions of dollars on the big screen.
The next fan appointments with the UCM are What if…? On Disney + this August 11; Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in theaters September 3; Eternals on November 5 in theaters and Spider-Man: No Way Home on December 17 in theaters.
