In a candid conversation with Vulture, Paul Walter Hauser, the star of Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps, has dished the dirt on his earnings as Mole Man. While most Hollywood celebs keep their paychecks under wraps, Hauser decided to set the records straight. He averages around three movies a year since 2018, juggling film projects with TV series like Cobra Kai and even professional wrestling. But why is he such a workhorse? Hauser explains that he needs to keep working to get paid. For Fantastic Four, he made an initial $200-300k, but after taxes, agents' fees, managers' commissions, lawyers' charges, and his religious tithes, the actual amount in his bank account was closer to $136,000. Despite this, Hauser says this paycheck wasn't life-changing. His role in Fantastic Four reportedly ranks among the larger paydays he's received during his career. With cuts in several scenes and John Malkovich's Red Ghost completely removed in post-production, it's unclear if Fantastic Four will get a standalone sequel. However, Hauser has other projects lined up, including a role in the Resident Evil movie reboot and the owner of Scooby-Doo in Netflix's live-action TV series.
