Tom Hollander Was Accidentally Sent Tom Holland’s ‘Avengers’ Bonus
With prominent roles in Pride & Prejudice, The White Lotus, The Night Manager, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Tom Hollander has a successful career by almost any standard.
Still, Hollander learned the hard way that being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is another league altogether.

A Million-Dollar Mix-Up
During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Hollander recalled the time his agency mixed him up with Spider-Man star Tom Holland, mistakenly sending Hollander the MCU star’s box office bonus.
“People in the accounts department of my agency got confused. We were with the same agents briefly. And it was a terrible moment,” Hollander quipped.

“I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England. I sat smugly in the audience just having done a BBC show for $30,000 … the interval came and I checked my email and I got one from the agency saying, ‘Payment slip for first box office bonus for ‘The Avengers.’”
“An Astonishing Amount of Money”
Hollander thought, “I don’t think I’m in ‘The Avengers’,” but he opened the email.
“It was an astonishing amount of money,” Hollander said. “And it was not his salary. It was his first box-office bonus. Not the whole box-office bonus, the first one. And it was more money than I’d ever [seen]. It was a seven-figure sum.”

Hollander, who is promoting his performance as Truman Capote in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX anthology Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, is no stranger to blockbusters.

In addition to his portrayal of Lord Cutler Beckett in Pirates of the Caribbean, Hollander also starred in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. Still, the MCU is apparently on another level.
