How Much Will Smith Was Paid For All 3 Men In Black Movies

Will Smith was one of the most bankable movie stars in the ’90s and 2000s, and the actor earned the biggest paychecks of his career for the Men in Black series. In the mid-90s, Smith made a name for himself with Bad Boys and Independence Day, but it was 1997’s family comedy Men in Black that had mass appeal and the biggest franchise potential. While the high-concept works well, it’s Smith’s charisma and portrayal of J that gives the movie a human touch and makes the movie so exciting. Men in Black’s success led to two sequels with Smith; Men in Black II (2002) and Men in Black 3 (2012).
